Exercise 4: Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions. 

Is the generation gap in America no longer a severe problem as it used to be? Dating back to the 1960s when teenagers tended to lash out the values and goals of their parents as well as rebel against the authority figures, the incendiary conflicts between older and younger generations increased sharply. It’s because teenagers' world wasn’t any longer limited in a narrow society that wasn’t mobile, and instead of going to church every weekend, they were exposed to various forms of social media like television and radios. They got access to huge sources of new ideas, which liberated them from old-fashioned and boring lifestyles whereas many older people were conservative and didn’t accept differences disturbing their normal life. Over time, however, the tension between generations has been alleviated due to the improved mutual understanding of baby boomers, Millennials and even Zillennials in many fields of life. According to recent research, the largest generational discrepancies between young and old in the United States are the use of technology and taste in music. Nevertheless, in terms of technological use, many older people gradually learn how to use a laptop or smartphone to surf the Internet from their children and especially their grandchildren due to their recognition of huge technological benefits. Regarding the musical differences, unlike in the past, older generations nowadays appear to give fewer critical remarks on what type of music teens should listen to and begin to accept the variety of music tastes when living under the same roofs. 

1. What is the passage mainly about? 

A. The development of the generation gap in America nowadays.

C. Parents.         D. Older generations 

3. According to the passage, what types of social media provided young people with new ideas in the 1960s? 

A. The Internet and television. 

B. The Internet and radios. 

C. The television and printed newspaper. 

D. The television and radios. 

4. Why did the older generation refuse to access new things? 

A. Because they thought those things were tedious. 

B. Because they loved to go to church every weekend. 

C. Because they didn’t want to change their normal life. 

D. Because they weren’t able to learn technological devices. 

5. What can be inferred from the passage? 

A. Nowadays there is no longer a generation gap. 

B. The generation gap didn’t remain after the 1960s. 

C. Teaching older people to use modern devices can bridge the gap between generations. 

D. Younger Americans are forced to change their taste in music nowadays. 

Exercise 5: Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the passage. 

Everyone knows that exercise is good for the body and the mind. We all want to keep fit and look good, but too many of us take (1) _______ the wrong sport and quickly lose interest. So now fitness experts are advising people to choose an activity that matches their character.

Green spaces above our heads 

Roof gardens, or gardens built on the top of city buildings, have become very popular in recent years, particularly in developed cities. It is even predicted that they will be the future of city architecture. This is because lack of space and overpriced land in cities makes it difficult to increase the number of parks and other green areas. So, what makes these ‘green roofs’ so attractive to city dwellers? 

Roof gardens can improve air quality in cities. Plants take in and keep heat and light, and help to cool the environment around them. This way, green roofs help reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to heating and cooling buildings. They also help decrease dust pollution and the formation of smog, a mixture of smoke and fog, which is common in big cities. Moreover, green roofs can provide new habitats for wildlife. They can help reduce the impact of urban development on habitat loss. For example, the City Hall in Chicago, the USA, has become home to more than 20,000 plants of over 150 different kinds. The living roof of Vancouver Convention Centre in Canada hosts 400,000 plants and 60,000 bees. Roof gardens also attract birds and insects, which increases the biodiversity in the area.

In summary, roof gardens can reduce pollution and improve human interaction with nature by introducing green space into the built environment. Connecting with nature is beneficial to our physical and mental health, and can increase quality of life. 

Question 18. What is the text mainly about? 

A. Advantages of roof gardens        B. The biodiversity of plants 

C. Importance of green initiatives    D. The future of smart gardens 

Question 19. The word ‘overpriced’ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________. 

A. too expensive    B. reasonable    C. valuable    D. overdue 

Question 20. Which of the following is NOT true about roof gardens? 

A. They are built on the top of buildings.    B. They reduce dust pollution. 

C. City dwellers think they are a waste of space.   D. They improve air quality. 

Question 21. What is on top of Vancouver Convention Centre? 

A. 150 birds and 400,000 plants    B. 400,000 bees and insects 

C. 20,000 plants and 150 bees       D. 400,000 plants and 60,000 bees
