It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don't understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.
For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if
their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to
what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents' control.
If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.

Do you know the term \children 10-13 years old. They are between junior and the teenage years. Why are they suddenly referred to in this way?
Tweenagers now have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they've ever had before. More and more companies are creating products and services for
tweenagers. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing-it's all about sales.
Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. It is because parents are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to. So, many parents try to compensate (补偿) by buying presents for them.
And do tweenagers have more freedom? Well, UK children today are very familiar with media and computer. Many have a television, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. They have access to much more information about the world.
They may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK kids live in single-parent families. People now say that \are getting older younger\With such sophistication (世故) at such a young age, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image.
In a world of TV programs that promise overnight success and fame at a young age, some people think it's extremely important to look fashionable. Surely none of the above is a good thing, is it? Can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at such a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for profit?
The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from marketing their products and services at children. So, is there a happy ending to this story?
Companies have just worked out that the older tweenage audience is now looking for something darker and more rebellious. As a result, films such as Twilight are being produced for this older tweenage audience.
32. More and more companies pay attention to the tweenagers because A. tweenagers have a growing interest in lunchboxes and mobile phones B. parents are more likely to spend money for their kids than before C. kids receive less pocket money now but have more freedom D. every kid has a computer or a TV in their bedroom 33. What does paragraph 2 suggest?
.
A. Kids have a great influence on the market. B. The products for the kids are of better quality.
C. Kids are more fashionable than other earlier generations. D. Kids like to buy magazines and clothing most. 34. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Children exercise too little to physically healthy. B. Children look older than they actually should be.
C. Children know more than earlier generations of youngsters knew.
D. Children have more freedom and appear more mature than previous generations. 35. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. The companies make use of tweenagers to make money. B. Young tweenagers are having a positive influence on adult. C. The market is changing to meet the demand of kids. D. Darker and more rebellious movies are popular with kids.
