V. Reading (26–30)
Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
Being a teenager is tough. Tough for the boy or girl and tough for the parents. All sorts of worries that never before existed come to light at this time and without the benefit of the hindsight that parents possess, having lived through it, they may seem insurmountable. The most common worries are: will I like the boyfriend or girlfriend? What am I doing with my life? And last but not least, my parents don't understand me. Coupled to these are stresses created by the pressures of examinations, where once again parents' expectation may be a contributory factor.
Parents notice the signs of stress and often feel guilty, believing that the plight of teenagers is their fault. There is a great deal of well-meaning advice on the subject, encouraging teenagers to speak out and parents to listen but the heart of the problem lies in trust which should have developed earlier in childhood. Teenagers will find it easier to share their thoughts if they sense that their parents went through similar experience: parents need to recall what being a teenager was like, and how they got through it.
Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?
- Parents and children

- Recalling troubled childhood

- easy
- carefree

What reason is given for teenagers feeling they cannot solve their problems?

- their difficult situation at school
What is the writer arguing in the second paragraph?
- Parents are wrong to blame themselves.
- Parents should seek professional guidance.
- Parents can help if a good relationship already exists.
- Parents should put themselves in the teenagers' shoes.

- lack of communication
