that they are putting their mental and physical health at risk. Adults can easily survive
on seven to eight hours' sleep a night, (23)__________teenagers require nine or ten
hours. According to medical experts, one in five youngsters gets anything between
two and five hours' sleep a night less than their parents did at their age. This (24)
__________ serious questions about whether lack of sleep is affecting children's
ability to concentrate at school. The connection between sleep deprivation and lapses
in memory, impaired reaction time and poor concentration is well
(25)__________Research has shown that losing as little as half an hour's sleep a night
can have profound ef fects on how children perform the next day. A good night's sleep

Orbis is an organisation which helps blind people of everywhere. It has built an

medico team. Samantha Graham, a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl from England, went
with the plane to Mongolia. Samantha tells the story, of the Eukhtuul, a young
Mongolian girl. 'Last year, when Eukhtuul was walking home from school, she was
attacked by boys with sticks and her eyes were badly damaged. Dr. Duffey, an Orbis
doctor, said that without an operation she would never see again, I thought about all
the things I do that she couldn't, things like reading schoolbooks, watching television,
seeing friends, and I realised how lucky I am.'
'The Orbis team agreed to operate on Eukhtuul and I was allowed to watch,
together
with some Mongolian medical students. I prayed the operation would be successful.
The next day I waited nervously with Eukhtuul while Dr. Duffey removed her
bandages. "In six months your sight will be back to normal," he said. Eukhtuul smiled,
her mother cried, and I had to wipe away some tears, too!'
Now Eukhtuul wants to study hard to become a doctor. Her whole future has
changed thanks to a simple operation. We should all think more about how much our
sight )means to us.’

Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too
busy to listen to their stories from the olden days. A study of 1,000 five to 18 year-olds
reveals just 21 per cent will visit their older relatives to hear about how their lives
were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was living in the war,
and how they met the love of their life. More than half of youths have no idea what
job their grandparent did beforeretirement - admitting they'd never thought to ask.
Sadly, one in 10 admitted theyare simply not interested in their grandmother's or
grandad's previous job or talents and interests, and a quarter only turn up to see them
for pocket money. But 23 percent claim the reason they don't know anything about
their older relatives is
because they don't really get the chance to talk properly.
Geoff Bates, spokesman for McCarthy 8/. Stone's Inspirational Generation
campaign, said: We know this generation have lived full lives with heroic tales to tell
and so much to offer, but how many of us have actually thought to ask these questions
of our older family members? We want to shout about the amazing feats retirees have
achieved in their lifetime and put the spotlight on the wonderfully colorful lives of
today's older people. We are calling on parents and children to talk to their
grandparents, to find out what they have done in their lives - and continue to do, and
tell us all about it so we can give them the credit they deserve."
Researchers found that although 65 per cent of youngsters do see their
grandparents every single week, 37 per cent claim this is only because their parents
want them to. And while 39 per cent talk to their grandparents on the phone,
Facebook or Skype at least once a week - 16 per cent once a day - conversation is
rarely focused on what they are doing or have done in the past. Four in 10 kids have
no idea what their grandparents proudest achievements are, while 30 per cent don't
know if they have any special skills or talents. And 42 per cent don't spend any time
talking about their grandparent's history -and are therefore clueless about what
their grandmother or grandad was like when they were younger. Perhaps due to this
lack of communication and respect, just six per cent of children say they look up to
their grandparents as a role model and inspiration. However, grandchildren are
agreed their grandparents are both loving and friendly, while 43 per cent think
they're funny - with 23 per cent admitting they often have more fun with their elderly
relatives than their parents.
Question 32: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?

B. Young people now do not concern much about their grandparents.

superannuation.

D. Nearly a quarter of young people don't have proper opportunities to converse with
their older relatives.

A. accomplishments B. failures
C. difficulties D. differences

Scientists have known about the greenhouse effect since 1824, when Joseph
Fourier calculated that the Earth would be much colder if it had no atmosphere. This
greenhouse effect is what keeps the Earth's climate (24) _________. Without it, the
Earth's surface would be an average of about 60 degrees. Fahrenheit cooler. Scientists

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
In most families, conflict is more likely to be about clothing, music, and leisure
time8 than about more serious matters such as religion and core values. Family
conflict is rarely about such major issues as adolescents' drug use and delinquency.
Nevertheless, it has been estimated that in about 5 million American families (roughly
20 percent),parents and adolescents engage in intense, prolonged, unhealthy conflict.
In its most serious form, this highly stressful environment is associated with a number
of negative outcomes, including juvenile delinquency, moving away from home,
increased school dropout rates, unplanned pregnancy, membership in religious cults,
and drug abuse (Steinberg & Morris, 2001).
Many of the changes that define adolescence can lead to conflict in parent-
adolescent relationships. Adolescents gain an increased capacity for logical reasoning,
which leads them to demand reasons for things they previously accepted without
question, and the chance to argue the other side (Maccoby,1984). Their growing
critical-thinking skills make them less likely to conform to parents' wishes the way
they did in childhood. Their increasing cognitive sophistication and sense of idealism
may compel them to point out logical flaws and inconsistencies in parents' positions
and actions. Adolescents no longer accept their parents as unquestioned authorities.
They recognize that other opinions also have merit and they are learning how to form
and state their own opinions. Adolescents also tend toward ego-centrism, and may, as
a result, be ultra-sensitive to a parent's casual remark. The dramatic changes of
puberty and adolescence may make it difficult for parents to rely on their children's
preadolescent behavior to predict future behavior. For example, adolescent children
who were compliant in the past may become less willing to cooperate without what
they feel is a satisfactory explanation.
Question 27: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence.
B. How to solve conflict in family.
C. The conflict in parent-adolescent relationship.
 D. A satisfactory explanation for family conflict.
Question 28: According to the passage, what is probably TRUE about the
conflict often arising in a family?
A. adolescents’ drug use and delinquency B. clothing, leisure time and
music
C. religion and core values D. children‘s behavior

Question 29: The word “unplanned” the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
________?
A. unintended B. designed C. developed D. shaped

Question 30: Adolescents become less likely to comfort to parents' wishes the
way they did in the past because ________.
A. the environment is highly stressful
B. their critical-thinking skills is growing
C. it is related to drug abuse
D. parent-adolescent relationships lead to conflicts

Question 31: According to the passage, the word “it” may refer to ________.
A. remark B. adolescent

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the answer to each of the question from 35-42
Educating children at home as an alternative to formal education is an option
chosen by families in many parts of the world. The homeschooling movement is
popular in the United States, where close to one million Children are educated at
home. In Canada, 1 percent of school-age children are homeschooled, and the idea
also enjoys growing popularity in Australia, where 20,000 families homeschool their
children. The movement is not limited to these countries. Homeschooling families can
be found all over the world, from Japan to Taiwan to Argentina to South Africa.
Homeschooling is not a novel idea. In fact, the idea of sending children to
spend most of their day away from home at a formal school is a relatively new
custom. In the United States, for example, it was not until the latter part of the
nineteenth century that state governments began making school attendance
compulsory. Before that, the concept of a formal education was not so widespread.
Children learned the skills they would need for adult life at home from tutors or their
parents, through formal instruction or by working side by side with the adults of the
family.
In the modern developed world, where the vast majority of children attend
school, families choose homeschooling for a variety of reasons. For people who live
in remote areas, such as the Australian outback or the Alaskan Wilderness,
homeschooling may be their only option. Children who have exceptional talents in the
arts or other areas may be homeschooled so that they have more time to devote to their
special interests. Much of the homeschooling movement is made up of families who,
for various reasons, are dissatisfied with the schools available to them. They may have
a differing educational philosophy, they may be concerned about the safety of the
school environment, or they may feel that the local schools cannot adequately address
their children's educational needs. Although most families continue to choose a
traditional classroom education for their children, homeschooling as an alternative
educational option is becoming more popular.
Question 32: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?

Question 33: What does the word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?

C. the former part of the 19th century D. the end of the 19th century
