Question

Dear Mr Zhu,

I am writing to your magazine’s “Teenagers Now” column(專欄) to ask for some help with my 16-year-old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost everything his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child and we treat him very well. His grandparents buy him many things, and yet he is still rude to us. He refuses to spend time with us or do as we tell him. Sometimes he acts as if he doesn’t even love us at all.

Now he refuses to do his homework, and instead insists on wasting his time watching DVDs and listening to foreign music. I cannot understand this music, but I don’t like it. He also spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games or chats online. He is wasting valuable time during this important period in his life!

What am I to do? At present, to prevent making his mother unhappy with an argument, I am allowing him his freedom. However, I am worried that if I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse.

How can I help my son without harming our relationship?

Yours

Liu Zhenhua

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中作者的描述可知，他的兒子因?yàn)閶蓱T而不聽(tīng)管教，沉迷于網(wǎng)絡(luò)，不愿與家長(zhǎng)交流；所以從雜志欄目編輯專家的角度分析，應(yīng)該是不能放任孩子的行為，更不能打罵；要多與其交流、談心，慢慢走近孩子的內(nèi)心世界，故選D。
