【解析】

这篇短文讲述的是很多青少年发现与父母相处非常困难，文章中分析了这个问题产生的原因，并给青少年们提出了建议。

1.句意：他们总是告诉我，我应该做这个，不应该做那个。

考查动词辨析。speak说，强调动作，后面常跟语言；tell告诉；talk谈论，常跟介词with或about搭配。根据句意可知，这里表示“告诉某人……”，后面跟双宾语构成短语tell sb. sth.。故选B。

2.句意：你有相同的问题吗？

考查形容词辨析及语境。serious严重的，严肃的；difficult困难的；same相同的。根据下文 “Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago.”可知，这里指与短文开头提到的张华有相同的问题。故选C。

3.句意：为什么有些家长在孩子的眼里似乎不那么友好?

考查动词辨析及语境。seem似乎，好像；look看起来；feel感觉。这句话中使用了句型it seems that…“似乎……”，该句是疑问句的形式。故选A。

4.句意：他们担心你对朋友的选择，你吃的食物，你在学校的工作，你有多少睡眠，等等。

考查名词辨析及语境。communication交流；comment评论；choice选择。根据文意可知，这里举例说明父母对青少年的担心，结合常识可知，父母担心自己的孩子选择什么人作朋友。故选C。

5.句意：所有这些事都是你生活的一部分。

考查名词辨析及语境。everything一切；每件事；part部分；whole整个的。根据上句话“They worry about your _____4_____ of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc.”可知，这里罗列的这些事情是我们生活中的一部分。故选B。

6.句意：他们想让你健康、快乐地长大。

考查副词辨析及语境。healthily健康地；hardly几乎不；strongly强烈地，强壮地。根据空后 …and happily并结合语境可知，父母关心自己的孩子，希望孩子健康、快乐地长大。故选A。

7.句意：那么，怎样才能让事情变得更简单呢？

考查动词辨析及语境。make使；制造；find发现，找到；try尝试，尽力。该句使用了make+宾语+形容词作宾补的结构，意为“使某人或某事……”，符合语境。故选A。

8.句意：和他们谈论你的想法。

考查名词辨析及语境。homework家庭作业；meals饭；ideas想法。根据下句话“They may talk about theirs with you.” “和他们谈论你的……，他们就会和你谈论他们的”，这里应说的是孩子和父母的交流，所以应该是谈论想法。故选C。

9.句意：他们还在练习为人父母，需要你的帮助。

考查动词辨析及语境。moving移动；practicing练习；helping帮助。根据句意“…and need help …”可知，父母也是在练习中，所以需要你的帮助。故选B。
