29. Read the passage and do the tasks below.

      The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another, especially between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts. Such family conflicts can seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times.

      It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as small kids and keep in mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or have wise choices. Therefore, they tend to make a great attempt to help their children to discover the outside world.  Nevertheless, they forget that as children grow up, they want to be more independent and develop their own identity by creating their own opinions, thoughts, styles and values about life.

      One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen on wearing fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who value traditional clothes believe that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of the society. It becomes worse when the expensive brand name clothes teens choose seem to be beyond the financial capacity of parents.

      Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education between parents and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at their feet and that dazzling future opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However, their parents try to impose their choices of university or career on them regardless of their children's preference.

      Indeed,  conflicts between parents and children are the everlasting family phenomena. It seems that the best way to solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and understanding.

Task 1. Decide whether the following statements are True, False or Not Given.

 

TRUE

FALSE

1. According to the passage, the relationship between parents and children is not easily destroyed by the family conflicts.

3. Teenagers try to please their parents by wearing traditional clothes.

4. Parents want children to follow their wishes in deciding the education and future jobs.

5. Some parents indulge their children with expensive brand name clothes.

6. In order to bridge the gap between the old generation and the younger one, open communication to promote mutual understanding is the vital key.

    

Task 2. Choose the best answers for the following questions.

1. Why do most parents still treat their teenage children like small kids?

A. Because children usually make mistakes

B.  Because they think that children are too young to live independently.

C. Because they think that children can't protect themselves well.

2. The word "offspring" in the second paragraph refers to ____.

A. parents                               B.  children                          C. mind

3. What do parents usually do to help their children as they are young?

B.  Teenagers' clothes are too short and ripped

C. Teenagers' clothes are contrary to the accepted standards and values of the society.

6. Why do teenagers want to choose their university or career?

7. The word "seize" in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.

A. catch                                   B.  choose                            C. find

8. Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Where do parent-child conflicts come from?

B.  How are children different from their parents?

C. How do we bridge the generation gap?

30. Read the following text and choose the best answer

    The family dynamic evolves as a teen matures, and can test the parent-teen relationship. With both sides feeling mixed emotions, this time can be challenging.

    Puberty brings lots of emotions for teens, and is a time of readjustment for the whole family. Parents have a huge influence on a young child’s values and interests, and so it can often feel hard for them to separate from their teen, who wants to develop their own identity and to have new freedoms. This may lead to conflict, as both parents and teens need time to figure out how to adapt the relationship.

    As teens get older, it is important for them to take on responsibilities. This highlights the valuable contribution each family member makes to a home, and teaches teens about what it’s like to be an adult. Setting clear rules about routine and home life helps teens to know what’s expected of them—even if they do complain or resist. Expectations go both ways, however, and so constant communication and flexibility when necessary will help avoid conflict.

   It is important for parents and teens to overcome life’s many distractions in order to spend quality time together. For parents, maintaining a close relationship with a teen who is preprogrammed to separate from them can be tricky, but it helps to be present and willing. Talking about the things that are going well is as helpful as discussing areas of conflict

31. Read the following passage and mark the letter A.  B.  C. or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

   If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one the biggest mistakes, which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.

   However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of their child

Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

   Winston Smith, Michael’s friend,  however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held.  They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

Question 2. : Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they ______.

   A. force their children into achieving success         B.  themselves have been very successful

   D.  parents should spend more money on the child’s education.

32. Read the text and questions below, Mark the correct letter A.  B.  C or D for each question.

IS THERE REALLY A GENERATION GAP?

   According to the results of a survey in USA WEEKEND Magazine, there isn't really a generation gap. The magazine's "Teens & Parents" survey shows that today's generation of young people generally get along well with their parents and appreciate the way they're being raised.  Most feel that their parents understand them, and they believe their parents consider family as the No. 1 priority in their lives. Although more than a third of teens have something in their rooms they would like to keep secret from their parents, it is usually nothing more harmful than a diary or a CD. 

   Such results may seem surprising in the context of the violent events that people hear about in the media. Maybe because of the things they hear, parents worry that their own kids might get out of control once they reach the teenage years. However, the facts in the survey should make us feel better. The survey shows us that today's teens are loving and sensible. They are certainly happier than the angry people in the teenage stereotypes we all know about. True, some teenagers are very angry, and we need to recognize their needs, but the great majority of teens are not like that at all.

   In contrast to some stereotypes, most teens believe they must be understanding about differences among individuals. Many of them volunteer for community service with disadvantaged people. When they talk about themselves, their friends and their families, they sound positive and proud.  Generally, these are very nice kids.

   Is this spirit of harmony a change from the past? Only a generation ago, parent-child relations were described as the "generation gap". Yet even then, things were not so bad.  Most kids in the 1960s and 1970s shared their parents' basic values.

   Perhaps, however, it is true that American families are growing closer at the beginning of this new millennium. Perhaps there is less to fight about, and the dangers of drug abuse and other unacceptable behavior are now well known. Perhaps, compared to the impersonal world outside the home, a young person's family is like a friendly shelter, not a prison. And perhaps parents are acting more like parents than they did 20 or 30 years ago.

  1. What did the survey find out about teenagers in paragraph 1?

A. They get along well with their parents.                        B.  They appreciate good CDs.

C. They keep secrets from their parents.                           D.  They stay in their rooms.

  1. What is the stereotype referred to in paragraph 2?
  1. Teens are people who recognize their needs.
  2. Teens are loving and sensible.
  3. Teens are much happier than we think.
  4. Teens are angry people.
  1. What does the word 'them’ in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. stereotypes                       B.  individuals                     C. teens                                        D.  families

  1. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

A. Differences between teens.                                              B.  Stereotypes about teens.

C. The positive attitude of teens to others.                       D.  Volunteering for disadvantaged people.

  1. In the last paragraph, according to the writer, one reason why American families are closer is that ___

A. the dangers of drug abuse are less.                                B.  there is no generation gap.

C. parents are friendlier to children.                                  D.  the world is an unfriendly place.

33. Read the following passage and mark the letter A.  B.  C. or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

   In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been halved since the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared with 25 percent in 1985. Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also good for their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men who let their wives do all the nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive and daughters who are more likely to do well in school - especially in math and science.

   In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the population was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 per cent of the U.S. population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults must plan for the needs of both their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable grace. One in four households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are less likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past, and have more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandchildren.

   Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce rates are likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for both adults and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained.  And many families are doing this. More non-custodial parents are staying in touch with their children. Child-support receipts are rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced families are exhibiting problems than in earlier decades. And stepfamilies are learning to maximize children's access to supportive adults rather than cutting them off from one side of the family.

  1. Which of the following can be the most suitable heading for paragraph 1?

A. Men's involvement at home

B.  Benefits of men's involvement at home

C. Drawbacks of men's involvement at home

D.  Children studying math and science

  1. Nowadays, ____ of men help take care of children.

A. 50%                                    B.  41%                                 C. 25%  D.  20%

  1. According to the writer, old people in the USA ____.

A. are experiencing a shorter life expectancy

B.  receive less care from their children than they used to

C. have better relationships with their children and grandchildren

D.  may live in worst living conditions

  1. Which of the following is NOT true about divorce rates in the USA?

C. More problems are caused by children from divorced families.

D.  Children are encouraged to meet their separate parents.

  1. The word "equivalent” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.

  1. The word "manageable” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ____.

A. difficult                              B.  challenging                    C. demanding   D.  easy

  1. The word “this” in the paragraph 3 refers to ____.

A. getting divorced                                                                 B.  minimizing conflict

C. causing problems to kids                                                  D.  maintaining bonds

  1. According to the writer, the future of American family life can be ____.

A. positive                              B.  negative                         C. unchanged   D.  unpredictable

34. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

The generation gap between the parents and the children is due to the fact that the parents have experienced real life and whatever they have learned from personal experiences becomes a true knowledge for them. Suppose that they have succeeded in life by following a path, they may want their children to follow the same path for success. For example, if they have worked very hard in studies and got a good government job.  they may advice their children to do the same for a having a good life as them. This also happens in other dimensions. The parents tend to treat their personal experiences as universal knowledge, which is false. What work for one person may not work for any other person because people have different talents and aptitudes. Moreover, the times have changed in the new generation and now a number of new avenues and challenges have come about which your parents have no idea or experience.

The children have no experience of the real life, hence they take a fresh look of everything in life. They may be guided by the experiences of their parents but they are also guided by the experiences of other people and by their own desires, talents and aptitudes. They want to experiment with their life and discover their own path. However, parents love their children so much that they don’t want them to suffer failure. They want them to be safe by following their path which is tested by them. This difference of opinion gives rise to the so-called generation gap.

1. What is the reason of the generation gap mentioned in the passage?

A. The parents assume that their personal experience in real life is true for them.

B.  The parents want their children to get a good government job 

C. The parents succeeded in life by following a path.

D.  The parents give wrong advices to their children.

2. The word “universal” in line 6 means_________.

A. deserving respect, admiration, or support                  B.  existing everywhere or involving everyone

C. clealy very much better than what is usual                 D.  necessary or of great value

3. Why is treating personal knowledge as universal knowledge not reasonable?

A. Because people have different talents and aptitudes.

B.  Because people gain knowledge from different contexts and apply it in different fields.

C. Because times have changed in different generations.

D.  Both A and C are correct.

4. According to the passage, which factor does not guide the children in life?

A. Their own desires, talents and aptitudes.                    B.  Their parents’ experiences.

C. Their own real life experiences.                                     D.  The experiences of other people.

5. What do the children want to do?

A. They want to suffer failure.

B.  They want to be safe by following the path tested by their parents.

C. They want to experiment with their life and discover their own path.

D.  They want their parents to love them so much.

35. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).

A generation gap refers to the chasm that separates the thoughts expressed by members of two different generations. More specifically, a generation gap can be used to describe the differences in actions, beliefs, and tastes exhibited by members of younger generations, versus older ones.

The subjects at hand may be vast and varied but can include politics, values, and pop culture. While generation gaps have been prevalent throughout all periods of history, the breadth of differences of these gaps has widened in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Generation gaps play big roles in businesses because, in order to succeed,  companies must find ways to balance the needs and views of individuals from different age groups. Businesses must be cognizant of the fact that changing demographics of their client base, including the typical genders of their patrons, can drastically affect their business cycles and bottom lines.

The term “generation gap” was first used in the 1960s. During that time, the younger generation in question— commonly referred to as “baby boomers”—showed a significant difference in their beliefs and opinions, compared to that of their parents’ generation.

Sociologists use nomenclature to refer to different generational segments. For example, millennials, which are those individuals born between 1982 and 2002, are called “technology natives” because they have lived with digital technology their entire lives, and this is all they’ve ever known.

By contrast, older generational members, known as “digital immigrants,” tend to be less comfortable with personal usage of technology. Consequently, technology companies market products differently to each group.

 

TRUE

FALSE

1. Generation gap can be used to describe the differences in actions, beliefs, and tastes.

2. The breadth of differences of generation gaps remains unchanged in the 20th and 21st centuries.

3. Changing demographics of the client base affects slightly bottom lines

4. During the 1960s, the younger generation had different beliefs and opinions compared their parents.

5. Individuals born between 1982 and 2002 are called “baby boomers”.

6. Older generational members don’t feel comfortable with personal usage of technology
