Exercise 2
Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy
varies greatly between genders and cultures. It used to be that women had a lower life
expectancy than men (1 in every 4 women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of
four to five years longer than men. Life expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last
centuries. With the advent of such modern miracles as sewers, medicine and a greater
understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased by 25-30 years.
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/ AIDS rate, life
expectancy is as low as 32.6 years. In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates are
as high as 81 years. There are an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the
disadvantages you have. The one that we are looking at now is how your career can affect your
life expectancy. Choosing the wrong career can result in a shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made
of money. That's right. Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer
than the people in poorer areas. Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of
hard work is stress.
Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety,
fatigue, tension and aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an
increase in serious injuries at work. They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks
which seriously affect life expectancy.
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need
to avoid careers on "dangerous jobs" list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers,
roofer, truck drivers.
So if you don't want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something
other than timber cutting, but above all, remember to relax.
1. The passage mainly discusses ___________.
A. The definition of life expectancy B. The comparison of life expectancy between

REVISION UNIT 1,2 ,3

A. Swaziland B. France C. Australia D. England
3. Why does an increase in stress lead to an increase in workplace accidents?
A. Workers like to take sick leave and stay home
B. It leads to a decrease in concentration and depression
C. Workers don’t care as much as about their jobs
D. Workers are too busy to observe safety regulations
4. What does the “ they” refer to?
A. men B. women C. childbirth D. life expectancy
5. The phrase “kick the bucket” in the passage is closest in meaning to ___________
A. die B. relax C. live D. succeed
Exercise 3
The first thing that is included in the "living together” notion is the expected good
relations (1) _______ your family. This also involves sharing equally the housework. Lots of
people think that everyone should share the housework equally, but in many homes parents
do most of it. To certain minds, many families can't share the housework whereas they

together. For this they can establish a housework planning.

should share the housework because (4) ________ will help them when they have to
establish their own family in the future. Too many teenagers and young adults leave home
without knowing how to cook or clean, but if parents delegate basic housework to teens as
they are old enough to do it, they won't be destabilized by doing the housework in their new
grown-up life.
It can be possibly (5) _________that many parents don't really prepare their children for
future, because they don't stimulate them to learn how to run a house. If parents get them

Passage 6
The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and
another, especially between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous
conflicts. Such family conflicts can seriously threaten the relationship between parents and
children at times.
REVISION UNIT 1,2 ,3
It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as
small kids and keep in mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves
cautiously or have wise choices. Therefore, they tend to make a great attempt to help their
children to discover the outside world. Nevertheless, they forget that as children grow up,
they want to be more independent and develop their own identity by creating their own
opinions, thoughts, styles and values about life.
One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen
on wearing fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who
value traditional clothes believe that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of
the society. It becomes worse when the expensive brand name clothes teens choose seem to
be beyond the financial capacity of parents.
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or
education between parents and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at
their feet and that dazzling future opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However,
their parents try to impose their choices of university or career on them regardless of their
children's preference.
Indeed, conflicts between parents and children are the everlasting family phenomena. It
seems that the best way to solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and
understanding.
1. Why do most parents still treat their teenage children like small kids?
A. Because children usually make mistakes
B. Because they think that children are too young to live independently.
C. Because they think that children can't protect themselves well.
2. The word "offspring" in the second paragraph refers to ____.
A. parents B. children C. mind
3. What does “ they” refer to?
A. parents B. indentity C. children
4. Which kinds of clothes do teenagers want to wear?
A. latest fashionable clothes B. casual clothes C. shiny trousers and tight tops
5. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Where do parent-child conflicts come from?
B. How are children different from their parents?
C. How do we bridge the generation gap?
