Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions (1.25 points) Sometimes our parents don’t understand us. They don’t understand some problems and things which are very important in teens’ life; for example, the lifestyles of young people, piercing, tattoos, drugs, sex, and relationship with friends and teachers. So, sometimes teens can’t tell them about their private life. Some parents don’t want to understand modern views, ideals systems of values. Elderly people usually compare their childhood and youth with the present, and regard old times as better, always talking about “the good old days”. Young people, on the other hand, tend to think of their times as the best. Teens look at the world with fresh eyes. Everything is new, and interesting to them. Sometimes they cannot solve their everyday problems. But they want to cope with them by themselves. So, adults shouldn’t prevent them from making their own mistakes. People are said to become wiser with age. Sometimes, it is true and sometimes it is not. I think that you can meet a wise man among the old as often as among the young. It is false that when old age wisdom has come, useless illusions have disappeared. Sometimes when we talk to adults, a monologue is a preferred form of expressing our ideas in such talks. That’s why some teens don’t like to talk to adults. I think that it’s in people’s nature to give advice. It seems to people that by giving advice they can help somebody or put somebody on the right track. But if a person takes their advice and fails, he can blame an adult all of his life. Our parents have their own ideas and views that their children don’t share and understand. They think that their children won’t find their place in life. They often say that now teens are very difficult to socialize with and dumpy. But children should settle all problems peacefully because they are their parents. They brought them up with loving care. And if children come to their parents for advice and help, they will do their best and help children to cope with problems and difficulties. Question 26: The passage mainly discusses ______.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions (1.25 points) Sometimes our parents don’t understand us. They don’t understand some problems and things which are very important in teens’ life; for example, the lifestyles of young people, piercing, tattoos, drugs, sex, and relationship with friends and teachers. So, sometimes teens can’t tell them about their private life. Some parents don’t want to understand modern views, ideals systems of values. Elderly people usually compare their childhood and youth with the present, and regard old times as better, always talking about “the good old days”. Young people, on the other hand, tend to think of their times as the best. Teens look at the world with fresh eyes. Everything is new, and interesting to them. Sometimes they cannot solve their everyday problems. But they want to cope with them by themselves. So, adults shouldn’t prevent them from making their own mistakes. People are said to become wiser with age. Sometimes, it is true and sometimes it is not. I think that you can meet a wise man among the old as often as among the young. It is false that when old age wisdom has come, useless illusions have disappeared. Sometimes when we talk to adults, a monologue is a preferred form of expressing our ideas in such talks. That’s why some teens don’t like to talk to adults. I think that it’s in people’s nature to give advice. It seems to people that by giving advice they can help somebody or put somebody on the right track. But if a person takes their advice and fails, he can blame an adult all of his life. Our parents have their own ideas and views that their children don’t share and understand. They think that their children won’t find their place in life. They often say that now teens are very difficult to socialize with and dumpy. But children should settle all problems peacefully because they are their parents. They brought them up with loving care. And if children come to their parents for advice and help, they will do their best and help children to cope with problems and difficulties. Question 21: The passage mainly discusses ______. A. solutions to problems in relationships between teens and adults B. how difficult it is for teenagers to communicate with adults C. causes of troubles in relationships between teens and adults D. how to improve communication between teens and adults Question 22: According to the passage, the writer will NOT agree with which of the following statements? A. When people get old, they no longer have useless illusions of life. B. Parents and children cannot share all their ideas and viewpoints. C. It is not always true that a person's wisdom grows with his/her age. D. Many teens think that it is no use talking to adults about their problems. Question 23: The word "settle" in the passage is closest in meaning to ______. A. repair B. resolve C. reduce D. react Question 24: The overall tone of the passage is ______. A. informative B. concerning C. commanding D. pleasant Question 25: It is implied in paragraph 2 that ______. A. the young have better way to look at the world that that of the elderly people B. opposite ways of looking at the world make teen-adult relationships get worse C. elderly people do not have good way to communicate with the young ones D. the difference in viewpoints always result in conflicts among people of all ages READING 2.
