She is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has bee somewhat mysterious, not so open as before: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all, she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother’s mind.
One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmates and would return late. This was the first time her mother had agreed, and she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness(不安) got the upper hand over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and ---there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, I’m back.” “Yeah.” “Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?” “Yes, Oh, that… Who’s that boy?” The daughter was stunned (发愣) for a moment. “Ah. It’s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I’m going to bed” “All right. Go to sleep early.”
Next morning, when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow. After a few minutes’ hesitation she finally opened it to the entry of the night before. It read: Mum, it was love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn’t. Holding the diary, the mother fell in thought.

(答案→)B
解析：文章讲述了一位母亲怀疑在自己面前从没有秘密的女儿早恋了，询问送女儿回来的男孩是谁，这让女孩在日记中认为母亲虽然爱她，却并不理解尊重她的故事。
【小题1】细节题：根据第二段中“The daughter was stunned (发愣) for a moment.”女儿愣了一阵，可知女孩并没有想到妈妈会问她男孩的事情，故A项错误；根据第一段内容可知女儿锁上日记的行为是她妈妈感到担忧，怕女儿早恋，故B项正确；根据第三段中“After a few minutes’ hesitation she finally opened it to the entry of the night before.”犹豫了几分钟后，她打开日记到昨晚那一页，由此可知妈妈并不是急不可待就阅读女儿的日记，因此C项错误；根据第一段中“But recently she has bee somewhat mysterious, not so open as before”但是最近她变得有些神秘，（日记）不再像以前那样打开着。可知D项错误。故选B。
【小题2】推理题：根据最后一段中女儿在日记中写的话可知女儿认为尊重比母亲简单的爱更重要。故选D。
【小题3】主旨题：阅读文章可知父母要了解孩子的需求和尊重他们的感受。故选A。
【小题4】推理题：文章围绕着妈妈问女儿晚上送她回家的男孩是谁，引出女儿认为尊重比简单爱更重要这一文章中心。故选C。
