社会生活类阅读理解。
“Everyone is entitled(有权) to their opinion" is a remark commonly heard in our society. We value free speech and the rights of the individual. The private preferences we keep, as long as they do not bother with the rights and freedoms of others, are ours to do with as we wish.
Children learn this central principle early on and soon become expert at using it effectively to suit their own purposes. The phrase ‘‘well, it's just my opinion" can act as a get-out clause which avoids further questioning or the need to give an explanation. A student may well prefer to put up a brick wall and so avoid the difficult task of providing a justification(正当的理由) for their view.They know the holy position freedom of speech holds for all of us and they know the taboo(禁忌)around challenging the opinions of others when they do not produce unfavorable effects on anyone else.
