II. Read the text below. For questions 1 - 5 you are to choose one best answer (a), (b), (c), or (d) to
each question. (1.0 pt)
During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to
dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal
development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming
independent, of teenagers trying to be adults while they are still growing up. Young people are usually
more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are
trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their son or daughter about school work and future plans but
should not push them to talk if they don't want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some
young people in trying to be adults may experiment with alcohol or smoking. Parents need to watch for
any signs of unusual behaviors which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.
1. This is from a.........
a) parent's handbook b) teenage magazine

c) school timetable d) children's book

2. What is the writer trying to do?
a) to be helpful

b) to be amusing

3. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult?
a) because most teenagers are quiet.

c) to be questionable

d) to be sorry

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

b) because teenagers don't want to talk to their parents.
c) because teenagers think adults are not honest.
d) because most teenagers hate adults.
4. When can you expect a young person to be more talkative than usual?
a) When adults give them a lot of money to spend.
c) When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school.
d) When adults talk to them about alcohol and smoking.
d) When people talk to them because they are really interested and not yet checking up on them.
5. Some teenagers experiment with drinking or smoking because……
a) cigarettes and alcohol are cheap.
b) women like a smoking and drinking man.
c) they regard it as a mark of adulthood.
d) cigarettes and alcohol are available everywhere.
III. Fill in each space with a suitable words to complete the following passage: ( 2.0 points)
