occurs around the world. The (2) _______ of communication, different views on certain
problems and different attitudes towards life may cause the generation gap or even widen
it. First, one of the major factors for this misunderstanding between two generations is
that parents and children lack communication. Young people (3) _______ reveal their

Another factor is that parents and their children see almost everything from different
(6) _______. Take choosing career as an example. Parents generally believe it is their

_______ professions that will bring them greatest prestige and economic benefits. Some

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them
for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or
less justly, that their parents are old-fashioned, possessive and dominant; that they do not
trust their children to deal with obstacles; that they talk too much about certain problems
and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is
true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they
themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles,
in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world
into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their
own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or
hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are

superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to
approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age
group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at
least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural
enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’
control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm
others, especially parents, into doing things the ways you want. You can impress others
with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to
do what you want to do.
1. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The teenagers' criticism of their parents
B. Misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents
C. The dominance of the parents over their children


D. The teenagers' ability to deal with difficulty
2. According to paragraph 2, teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles
because they _______.
A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own
B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better
D. want to irritate their parents
3. The word "superior" in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. passive

B. dominant

C. advantageous

D. updated

4. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they
_______.
A. have already been accepted into the adult world
B. are not likely to win over the adults
C. have a desire to be independent
D. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults
5. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be .
A. obedient

B. responsible

C. co-operative

D. independent

X. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
There are many types of family systems around the world. In North America and
northern Europe, the nuclear family (with two generations - a father, a mother and one or
more children) is often seen as the most typical. In contrast, in most other parts of the
world, extended families, which include other family members such as grandparents,
aunts, uncles and cousins, are seen as the norm.
The common view is that the nuclear family has become the norm in many Western
societies as a result of industrialization and urbanization. This trend began in the late
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when people were forced to move to cities to find

work in the factories that sprang up during the Industrial Revolution. In the twentieth
century, greater industrialization resulted in even more people leaving their large
extended families. Urbanization also meant that people lived in much smaller houses,
which were not big enough for an extended family.
The trend towards nuclear families meant that many of the duties and responsibilities
of a family, such as providing food and shelter, cleaning the home, preparing the food,
caring for children and their education, and caring for the sick and elderly are no longer
shared among the members of the extended family. The parents (or parent) now have to
do this, with some help from the state. However, this is the price that people pay for the
higher standard of living that may come from living in a city.
We may think we know what we mean by a ‘nuclear’ family and an ‘extended’
family, but reality is more complicated than most people believe. Most nuclear families
are part of extended families: children have grandparents and, in many cases, aunts,
uncles and cousins as well. Part of what makes them ‘nuclear’ is that they live in their
own separate household, but it is not the whole story. In Greece or Italy, for example, a
nuclear family may live in its own flat, but the extended family may live in the same
apartment block or in the same street and family members see each other and even eat
together every day.
There is at least one more factor to consider. Family members may be separated from
each other by geographical distance, but they may have close emotional ties. Even in
North America and northern Europe, grandparents usually have close bonds with their
grandchildren, and families often travel long distances so .that they can see each other.
Grandparents often help their adult children, for example, by cooking and looking after
their children in emergencies. In the same way, when their parents become too old to live
on their own, adult children may take them into their own homes. As a result, they turn
their nuclear family into an extended family.
The structure of families changes over time. The effects of urbanization and
industrialization are enormous, but they are not the only reasons for the changes. People
marry, have children, become widowed, divorce and die. Children grow up and adults
grow old. Nuclear families become extended families and extended families become

nuclear families. Family ties stay strong or become weak. One thing is certain: in a
changing world, the family will continue to change, but ultimately, it is likely to continue
to be the basic unit of society.
