答案解析

答案解析：

ABD正确，她的父母觉得她不如她的哥哥，对她也没有那么重视，从ceremony可以看出她父母对自己曾有很高期望。C不对，“come”表示是父母要过来访问

听力原文：

Joey: Yeah, calm down. You don't see Ross getting all chaotic and twirly every time they come.
Monica: That's because as far as my parents are concerned, Ross can do no wrong. You'see, he's the Prince. Apparently they had some big ceremony before I was born.

听力笔记：

chaotic,浑浊的,混乱的。
chaotic and twirly 其实就是老美用来形容人”慌慌张张的…”
twirly就是说”团团转的”。
比如: She looks like chaotic and twirly before the interview.

as far as my parents are concerned.
在我父母看来…四六级写作中经常看到的一个是 as far as I am concerned 来表达自己的观点和看法。
常用的还有in my humble opinion等.比如:as far as I am concerned, I think you guys could not do that.
