V. Cloze Test. Read the passage and choose the best answer to fill in the gap
To put it in simple terms, the generation gap-a broad (1)__________ between one generation and another,
especially between young people and their parents-leads to a problem which is as (2)__________ as the hills. One
may wonder why this problem has been unresolved throughout the ages. There are some reasons for that.
Psychologists believe that most young people experience conflict during their adolescence. They are
(3)__________ children anymore nor yet adults, but individuals who are desperately searching for self-identity. As
they grow up, they adopt values that differ from those held by their parents, and develop an unfavorable attitude
toward the adult world because it symbolizes “the skin they hope to shed away.”
Conflicts actually (4)__________ because young people feel that they have a right to be independent. They look
at parents as “enemies” who do not let them live the way they want to-staying out late, wearing fashionable clothes,
or choosing their own friends. (5)__________ makes things even worse is that teenagers suffer a sense of
incapability and rage as they realize that financially they still depend on their parents, and they would not have a
nice party or a holiday (6)__________ their parents' approval and support.
The period of adolescence is closely connected to making important life (7)__________ , such as choosing a
career path. That is precisely where the trouble lies. Young people are told that they have the world at their feet, that
dazzling future opportunities are just waiting to be seized. However, when they finally decide that they want to
work, say, as music players instead of majoring in medicine or law, their parents tear out hair and seem to be
heartbroken.
Difficulties in relationships with parents may in certain cause lead to such serious (8)__________ as drinking
alcohol or taking drugs, refusing to attend school, running away from home, or even turning to violence. In such

cases, parental threatening and yelling usually don't work. It seems that the best way to put matters straight is to
take a middle course. Parents should take the (9)__________ to start a calm, serious discussion with their children
in which they treat the latter more or less as “partners” in decision-making. They should also keep in mind that if
teenagers feel neglected in the most agitated time of their lives, they may lose them (10)__________ .
1. A. different
B. differently
C. difference
D. differ
2. A. age

VI. Read the passages and choose the best answer for each question.
Passage 1
The generation gap refers to the difference in attitudes or behaviour between a younger generation and the
older one. In my opinion, different attitudes towards life, different views about certain problems, and a lack of
communication can cause a generation gap in most societies.
The first factor is that parents and children generally see things from different perspectives. Choosing a career
is a good example for this. Many parents try to impose certain careers they favor on their children, based on their own
perceptions. However, young people don't always understand their parents' points of views. Instead, they prefer to be
free to make their own decisions on their future career. Another factor lies in differences in musical tastes, fashion, and
political views between young people and their parents. For example, having a pierced nose might be viewed as
fashionable by some teens, but for many parents, it is considered to be an act of rebellion against social norms. Some
parents may also find their children's behaviour unacceptable and disrespectful to traditional values.
The major factor causing the generation gap is lack of communication between parents and their children.
Parents tend to be dominant and not to trust their children to deal with crises. Also, they keep talking too much about
certain problems. That is the reason why young people seldom reveal their feelings to their parents. When facing
problems, young people prefer to seek help from their classmates or friends.
The above mentioned factors could lead to a generation gap. In order to bridge the gap between the old
generation and the younger one, mutual understanding is the vital key. The wisest solution would be for parents and
their children to treat each other as friends.
1. How many causes of the generation gap are mentioned?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
2. How do young people usually react when their parents impose career choices on them?
A. They want to make their own decisions.
B. They follow their parents' advice.
C. They try to understand their parents' goodwill.
3. What do parents often think about nose piercing?
A. They think that it is acceptable.
B. They think that it is fashionable.
C. They think that it is against social norms.
4. What do young people often do when they face problems?
A. They share the problems with their parents.
B. They ask their classmates or friends for help. C. They ask their parents for help.
5. What would be the best way to narrow the generation gap?
A. Parents and children should try to be friends and understand each other.
B. Parents should be tolerant and let children do what they want.
C. Children should follow their parents' advice.
6. What is best title for the passage?
A. Generation Gap Consequences B. How to Solve Generation Gap Conflicts
C. Causes of Generation Gap
Passage 2
Different relationships affect teenagers in various ways. Friends impact teenagers almost the same amount as
their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask questions that they could not ask their parents about. Most
of the time their friend give them good advice. In most cases, they tell their friends how to dress and act when being
around certain people.
Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to fail in school
because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of doing their work.
Parents have a big influence on teenagers because their children look up to them and the mojority of them
grow up to act and do things just like their parents did with them. Children who have experienced a family break-up
may have lower achievements then children brought up in an intact family.
As previously stated, teenagers are affected by many relationships which involve their friends, family, and
their love relationships. The relationships affect them so much that most teenagers change their ideas about how they

should live their lives in a different way and to change their future goals. They should be influenced to help
themselves or to help others.
