Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions
A survey into the media habits of teenagers in the USA reveals some surprising
statistics. The average teenager spends an incredible eleven hours each day on their mobile
phones, computers, games consoles or TVs. That's more hours than they are awake outside
school time! How are they able to do this? The answer, of course, is multitasking.
The results of the survey came as no surprise to fifteen-year-old participant Jake
Kendall. He told researchers that he multitasked every second that he was online. He said that
he was completing their survey at the same time as watching a TV show, chatting to friends
online and reading reviews of the latest film releases. For sixteen-year-old Marisa Sanchez,
the survey simply confirmed the facts. She said that she had watched two hours of TV in the
three hours since the end of school, and also researched her homework about volcanoes,
played an online game for two hours, and arranged her weekend plans by texting friends.
Some experts are worried about the survey results. Sylvia de Lupis of the Family
Action Institute told our reporter that teenagers would have difficulties because of their
multitasking habits. She added that, as adults, they would struggle to focus their attention.
However, Dr. Michael Rich from the Center on Media and Child Health said that worries
about multitasking had become pointless a long time ago, and that high levels of media use
were now a part of young people's environment, 'like the air that they breathe, the water that
they drink and the food that they eat'.
Question 31 : Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Teens: More Media Use Than Hours in The Day
B. The Art of Multitasking: A to Z for Teens
C. Teens: Learning through Media
D. Multitasking - of Teens' Everyday Life
Question 32 : According to paragraph 1, which device may not be used daily by teens?
A. game consoles B. televisions C. e-book readers D. phones
Question 33 : The word “reviews" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______________
A. comments B. plots C. discussions D. complaints
Question 34 : The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to __________
A. habits B. adults C. difficulties D. teenagers
Question 35: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. An average teen in America spends nearly half a day using media.
B. Marisa Sanchez could complete her school assignment and relax at the same time.
C. Dr Michael Rich expected teenagers to get distracted due to multitasking.
D. Frequent media use is possibly a matter of course to young people
Question 36 : Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Family Action Institute must work to stop multitasking.
B. Young people should concentrate on only one medium at a time.
C. Jake Kendall and Marisa Sanchez got good academic results.
D. Youngsters' multitasking habits in media use meet with mixed reactions from the public
