句意：青少年经常想他们应该被允许自己做决定，但是他们的父母可能担心孩子的发展。

根据前文“‘I want to…’, your parents answer, ‘No, you can’t. ’”可知此处讲述孩子和父母之间的沟通，此处用but转折，引出父母。故选G。

2.

句意：他的父母总是叫他早点睡觉要有足够的睡眠。

根据“He is often late for school because he stays up too late”李海熬夜上学迟到；后文“Unless he arrives at school on time, he will be punished by his teacher”除非上学按时不然会被老师惩罚，可知此处表达的是李海的父母的要求，要他早点睡觉，选择“go to bed early and have enough sleep”。故选C。

此处表示李海和父母意见不一致会发生冲突，会争论，选择与“argue with”有关的句子。故选F。

句意：李海需要花更多的时间在他的学习上。

根据“We expect him to get into a good university”可知父母想要李海进好的大学，此处与学习“spend more time on his study”有关。故选A。
