题目

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her "a hero for young Australians" when she returned. It seems that there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people. The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and can make childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters. But it's also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson's. Watson calls herself "an ordinary girl who has a dream". Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young "ordinary" teenagers feel stressed to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us "ordinary" people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. （1） What can we learn about Jessica Watson? A .
