Read thefollowing passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive
force that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that
79% of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the
world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
     Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as
divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young
and old, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents
are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young
adults.
     If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is
twofold.
     First, the two largest areas of difference—technology and music—are less emotionally charged than
political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in
technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its
own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire.
     Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation—clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust
anyone over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in
moral values, work ethic and respect for others.

In this day and age, it's inevitable that your kid will need a cell phone at some point. Buying a
phone for your kid is a big decision. Not only is it a financial investment, but you also need to consider
Internet safety and how kids can use electronics in a healthy way. 'Today's parents are both blessed and
cursed by technology options made available to their children,' says Titania Jordan, the chief parenting

When considering which cell phone to buy for your child, consider their age, the intended users of the
phone, and the parental control options. If your teen just started driving, a smartphone with a built in GPS

need a phone quite yet but can instead use a smart watch to text you and make short phone calls with
approved contacts. To find the best cell phones for kids, we surveyed nearly 500 parents to learn about the
phones they have bought for their own kids, as well as how their families navigate technology use. We also
spoke to the Internet safety experts that specialize in kids' safe use of phones. Additionally, we reviewed
guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) regarding when to give your child a cell phone.
