Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions from 24 to 28.

Always a sure source of affection, my grandparents were hugely important figures in my life. They would shower my sister and me with sweets, indulgences and stories, telling tales about my parents as naughty children. When the last of them died, we all wondered who would hold the family together.

People have relied on grandparents in Britain since the Industrial Revolution, when whole families moved into cities from the country to get work in the new factories, taking grandmother along to look after the children. Despite the fact that more grandmothers are working now, grandparents are still the backbone of childcare in Britain. They provide 44% of full-time care for pre-school children, which makes you wonder how the country would manage without them.

The traditional image of a grandparent is a smiling old person surrounded by a cohort of happy children, but this doesn't match the facts. What we have now is the so-called 'beanpole family, thinly stretched over several generations, with fewer family members in each and with growing numbers of single-parent families. Grandparents are getting younger - more than 50% of grandparents have already had their first grandchild by the age of 54.

For many of them, grandparenthood means juggling a job, involvement with grandchildren and, sometimes, the care of their own parents. It is up to us to balance the demands we make on them if we don't want to wear them out. Grandparents are such a valuable part of the family that we just cannot do without them.

A. Looking after old-aged grandparents

D. Children prefer to stay with their grandparents during their summer holiday.

B. They become grandparents at younger age.
