问题     Sometimes teens need to have some time away from their families. They may want’ to move out of the family home for a while.
    Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea to let your teens live with a friend or relative.
    "It was the break I needed at the time," said Richard Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living with his grandmother when he was 15.
    "It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents." Lerner said. He now heads the Institute for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University.
    Experts say teens living away from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions (解答) to problems.
    This is different from running away, the experts stress. Runaways are often fleeing serious problems.
    Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for a while with a relative or with the family of a friend.
    If there is conflict (冲突) at home, having a teen live elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.
    Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the late teen years has become the norm (准则) only in recent times.
    "In the 17th century, children were often sent to live in other people’s homes when they were about 10 or 11," he said.
    Peter Sheras teaches education at the University of Virginia. He said parents should listen when a child wants to move out. They should try to find out why the child wants some time away.
    Often, parents can help the child find a safe place to stay during that time. In other cases, they can meet the child’s needs at home.
According to this passage, many parents think it ______ for their children to live away from them.

选项 A、right
B、happy
C、unsafe
D、reasonable

答案C

解析 此题考查细节信息和词汇知识。其中关键词是many parents think...children live away。第2段第1句Many parents will say no to this demand.清楚地表明了父母对这一要求持反对态度,由此可以排除A、B、D这三项表示肯定赞同的词语。C项unsafe一词是由un和safe两部分组成。其中un=not与原文的not意思一致,故C项是正确答案。
