Treat Teenagers with Respect

My husband Bill and I have received comments from other parents expressing their sympathies ever since Douglas's 14th birthday,since our son is a teenager now. We've heard a lot,such as "Well,when kids become teenagers,they are awful,just do your best to go through this tough period."or"I know he's a good child,but just wait,now that he's a teenager."
I know that teenagers at times can be difficult to deal with,but I'm in my mid-thirties and I can also be tough.We are concerned about the future of our kids and want today's children to know that we do love and care them and that there are opportunities waiting for them. Nevertheless,when they just start their journey toward adulthood, we stand there expecting them to make mistakes."Just like we knew they would."We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs,yet we are not setting a positive example by showing our respect for them,and fail to treat them with consideration and kindness.
At times I have felt guilty of this behavior but I now realize that the more I see each person as a person,the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For instance,a few days ago Bill and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant to celebrate my birthday and three teenage boys entered and sat down right beside us.The first thought came into my mind,I must admit,was,"Gosh, there goes our peaceful and quiet dinner."But,the fact proved I was very wrong!The three teenagers were quiet,well behaved and even left a nice tip for the waiters.Once I looked beyond their colored hair and the loose jeans that were practically falling off,I saw what fine people these young men were.
Many parents are upset about the fact that teenagers adore sports stars and pop singers,yet they themselves,perhaps unknowingly,treat their kids with disrespect.As far as I think we really shouldn't complain unless we give them something better to go after.
选项 What was the author's first thought when three young men came into the restaurant?
A:Her quiet dinner with her husband would be destroyed.
B:The teenagers would behave in a very rude way.
C:They were going to have a quarrel with the three teenagers.
D:She and her husband were going to have a pleasant dinner.
答案A
解析从第一段其他家长对作者说的话可以看出，他们都对作者的孩子已经进入青少年期可能会变得很麻烦而表示对作者的同情，所以选D0 terrible意为“可怕的”,sorrowful意为“悲伤的”,cheerful意为“欢乐的”，都不符合。
第二段的最后一句提到家长们没有用尊重的态度对待孩子，因此选B。
第三段第三句提到“我”的第一反应是“我”平静的晚餐要被毁了，所以A 正确。
第三段最后一句提到“Once I looked beyond their colored hair...1 saw what fine people these young men were.”可见如果不在意他们的外表，就可以看出他们是不错的年轻人，所以选项C正确。
文章最后一段作者提出观点，家长们“…really shouldn't complain unless we give them something better to go after"，所以家长应当负责任，因为他们没有给孩子提供一些更好的东西让他们去追求。
