Read the text and choose the correct answer.
In a big family, different generations generally think and behave differently. Teenagers' experiences
are not the same as their parents'. For instance, teens are really keen on technology which is a bit
strange and even harmful from their parents' viewpoint. Those common differences are examples
of generation gap that lots of families have to deal with. To bridge the gap, parents should keep in
mind these rules.
First, communication matters the most. Teenagers usually avoid serious talks, so parents should
start with friendly chit chat about their hobbies and friends. The more often parents chat with their
kids, the easier it gets. From small topics, parents can move to big topics like the problems that
teenagers are dealing with. For example, parents can ask "What problems are you often stressed
about?" and then listen to their kids with interest, not annoyance. It's important to understand and
help the teens with their problems.
Second, going out with teens is a good way to find out about their world. Parents should let the kids
choose where to go and what to do. Once they feel comfortable and relaxed, they will help their
parents stay up-to-date with the latest trends in entertainment, sports, fashion and technology. It's
a bad idea that parents compare their childhood with their kids' because today's world is
completely different from that of 1970's and 1980's. With the quick development of the Internet,
life is no longer a piece of cake.
Finally, teens always need some privacy and time to grow up. It's not wise to set too many strict
rules without respecting the children's rights at home. Parents need to teach their kids how to do
things independently by setting a good example.
Generation gap is truly a huge obstacle these days. If parents try hard to have good
communication, spend quality time and respect their children's rights, the generation gap can be
overcome with time.
31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Parents refuse to understand today's technology.
B. There are differences between older and younger generations.
C. It's not possible to close the generation gap.
D. Teenagers don't want to get closer to their parents.
33. What does the writer say about the generation gap?
A. It affects relationships beyond the teenage years. B. It also exists between parents
and grandparents.
C. It is common in many families. D. It cannot explain most family
arguments.
34. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Teens are more comfortable with technology than their parents.
B. Parents talking about their teenage time can be helpful.
C. Talking together becomes easier with practice.
D. Parents should try to find out what is popular with teens.
35. Which word is CLOSEST in meaning to "a piece of cake" in the third paragraph?
A. amusing B. wonderful C. entertaining D. simple
36. What can be inferred from the text?
A. It takes time and efforts to solve the generation problems.
B. Good relationships now lead to good relationships in the future.
C. All teenagers face the same problems with their parents.
D. Teenagers depend on their parents too much these days.

Câu 7 : Read the passage and the best answer to each of the following.
The generation gap between the parents and the children is due to the fact that the parents have
experienced real life and whatever they have learned from personal experiences becomes a true
knowledge for them. Suppose that they have succeeded in life by following a path, they may want
their children to follow the same path for success. For example, if they have worked very hard in
studies and got a good government job. they may advice their children to do the same for a having
a good life as them. This also happens in other dimensions. The parents tend to treat their personal
experiences as universal knowledge, which is false. What work for one person may not work for
any other person because people have different talents and aptitudes. Moreover, the times have
changed in the new generation and now a number of new avenues and challenges have come
about which your parents have no idea or experience.
The children have no experience of the real life, hence they take a fresh look of everything in life.
They may be guided by the experiences of their parents but they are also guided by the
experiences of other people and by their own desires, talents and aptitudes. They want to
experiment with their life and discover their own path. However, parents love their children so
much that they don’t want them to suffer failure. They want them to be safe by following their path
which is tested by them. This difference of opinion gives rise to the so-called generation gap.
Câu 7.1What is the reason of the generation gap mentioned in the passage?
A.The parents assume that their personal experience in real life is true for them.
B.The parents want their children to get a good government job
C.The parents succeeded in life by following a path
D.The parents give wrong advices to their children.
Câu 7.2. The word “universal” in line 6 means_________.
A.deserving respect, admiration, or support B.existing everywhere or involving
everyone
C.clealy very much better than what is usual D.necessary or of great value
Câu 7.3. Why is treating personal knowledge as universal knowledge not reasonable?
A.Because people have different talents and aptitudes.
B.Because people gain knowledge from different contexts and apply it in different fields.
C.Because times have changed in different generations.
D.Both A and C are correct.
Câu 7.4. According to the passage, which factor does not guide the children in life?
A.Their own desires, talents and aptitudes. B. Their parents’ experiences.
C.Their own real life experiences. D.The experiences of other people.
Câu 7.5. What do the children want to do?
A.They want to suffer failure.
B.They want to be safe by following the path tested by their parents.
C.They want to experiment with their life and discover their own path.
D.They want their parents to love them so much.
