问题     It’s not easy being a teenager—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. A seemingly harmless comment from you can make your adolescent feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood. If your teen has you frustrated, try these tips that offer a commonsense approach to giving your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still there for him when he needs you.
    Expect a lot from your teen, just not everything. Work on one aspect of a teen’s behavior at a time. For example, if you’ve recently laid down the law on curfew and your child is just starting to get home on time consistently, it’s probably not the best time to focus on getting him/her to watch less TV. Overlook minor transgressions (越轨行为) in one area while attending to another—trying too hard to modify several aspects of your adolescent’s behavior will over whelm and frustrate you both. Save your absolute, nocompromise positions for health and safety issues, such as drug use or reckless driving, and consider everything else somewhat negotiable.
    Offer your availability always, but your advice only when asked. If your child is reluctant to discuss a particular topic, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. Too much nagging (唠叨) will turn into a power play between you, which will only increase the likelihood that he’ll keep his mouth shut. Instead, let him at tempt to solve things by himself—a sure sign to him that you support his growing independence and a great way for him to build selfesteem. At the same time, remind him that you’re always available should he seek advice or assistance. [br] It can be inferred from the last paragraph that if you want your child to communicate to you from time to time, you should ______.
选项 A、keep your mouth shut at all times
B、ask him what’s on his mind every day
C、allow him a chance to solve his own problems
D、refrain from nagging too much
答案 D
解析 细节推理题。根据原文第三段第二、三句话“If..., don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. Too much nagging will turn into a power play between you, which will only increase the likelihood that he’ll keep his mouth shut.”要想孩子多和自己交流，家长不应该总是唠唠叨叨，强迫他们讲出自己的想法，而应该克制一下自己的唠叨，让他能保有自己的小秘密。所以答案是D)。
