IV. Read the passage carefully then choose the correct answers.
Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or no pay, and give
their children to the care of old couple free of charge. Investigations have shown that parents of many
couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for their children. However, this practice shouldn’t
become an accepted social custom.
The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples spend more on
clothing and furnishing and less on food. If this trend continues, many young couples might take these
privileges for granted and become more dependent.
It is not the right for the young to make the use of the old couples’ love, not only because our
nation is well – known for its special respect paid to the elderly , but also because the young must
become independent. What young people should do is to become more considerate towards their old
parents. After years of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration.

A. spend less on clothing and furnishing and more on food
B. look after their children themselves
C. be less demanding and more caring towards their old parents
D. pay for the meals they have in their parents home
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. What troubles young people most is that no one will look after their children except their own parents.
B. The reason why young couples depend on their parents to different degree is that their home is smaller.
C. Old couple should give money to their children instead of providing meals or caring for them.

provide meals and caring for their children when they get married.

Exercise 1
Mrs. Sand was having a lot of trouble with her skin, so she went to her doctor about it.
However the doctor could not find anything wrong with her, so he sent her to the local
hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests direct to Mrs.
Sand’s doctor, and the next morning he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that
he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.
Mrs. Sand carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, which she then left
beside the telephone while she went out to a ladies' meeting.
When she got back home a couple of hours later, she found her husband waiting for
her. He had a big basket full of packages beside him, and when he saw her, he said, "Hello,
sweetheart. I have done all your shopping for you. "
"Done all my shopping?" she asked in surprise. "But how did you know what I
wanted?"
"Well, when I got home I found your shopping list beside the telephone," answered her

Exercise 3
Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or no pay,
and give their children to the care of old couple free of charge. Investigations have shown
that parents of many couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for their children.
However, this practice shouldn’t become an accepted social custom.
The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples spend
more on clothing and furnishing and less on food. If this trend continues, many young
couples might take these privileges for granted and become more dependent.
It is not the right for the young to make the use of the old couples’ love, not only
because our nation is well – known for its special respect paid to the elderly , but also
because the young must become independent. What young people should do is to become
more considerate towards their old parents. After years of hard work, they are worthy of
such consideration.

A. live with their parents
B. have meals regularly in their parents’ home for they have little or no fee

B. look after their children themselves
C. be less demanding and more caring towards their old parents
D. pay for the meals they have in their parents home
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. What troubles young people most is that no one will look after their children
except their own parents.
B. The reason why young couples depend on their parents to different degree is that
their home is smaller.

Exercise 4
Andrea - There are six of us in our family, my parents, me, the twins and my older
brother, Ted. Ted is a good ten years older than me and the twins - they are girls - are two
years younger than me. We had a good childhood out in the countryside. My parents were
always busy with the farm and so we didn't get the help with school work and things like
that that children get today. But my parents were very loving, especially my father. I regret
not helping more around the farm because now I realize that it must have been very hard
for my parents, especially as my grandparents lived so far away.
Bob - Both my parents were in the theatre and they had made quite a name for
themselves on the stage. As a child I remember our house being constantly full of famous
people, laughing and talking. My sisters and me would be brought down by our nanny to
kiss parents goodnight and then we would be packed off to the nursery. That's as much as
we ever really saw of them at that time. It's better now, but it has left a mark on all of us -
we ring each other now and again, but that's about all. I think my father understands this,
but I am not sure my mother does.
Camillia - I left home when I was sixteen to live with my grandparents in Sydney. My
parents had a farm in the outback and I needed to go to college. It was quite difficult for
me to leave my younger brothers and sisters behind as we were quite a tight-knit group,
even though the age gap was fairly wide - as you can imagine there was no one else to play
with out in the middle of nowhere!
When I got fed up I'd give them a ring, and my dad would always put me right - a tower of
strength he was. My grandparents were great too - helped me with my homework, took me
on trips, things like that I'll never forget that.
David - I am always telling my kids - your family is always there for you, whatever
happens. You might think we don't understand you and all that rubbish, but no one else will
look after you the way the family will. Family is important to me. When I was young, I didn't
have much of family life. Our kids were quite close in ages so that helped enormously, but
we didn't see much of our parents. In fact, we saw more of granny and grandpa, but they
were a bit strict. We all got on and we knew that our parents cared for us. But there wasn't
much in the way of trips, treats, things that nowadays people take for granted.

Exercise 5
If your application indicates you are qualified, the employer may request an
interview. The interview enables you to learn more about the job. It also helps the employer
find out if you are the best person for the job. Many people prepare for an interview by
learning about the employer’s business. You can find such information in an organization’s
annual report or on its Web-site. This kind of knowledge can help you ask intelligent
questions during your interview. It also shows the interviewer that you are interested in the
employer’s business.
Most interviewers pay close attention to the way an applicant acts, dresses and
answers questions. You can make a good impression by arriving on time and by being
confident, prepared and well-organized. Your clothing should be clean, comfortable and
professional. Wear the kinds of clothes appropriate to the company, unless the workers
wear uniforms. The interviewer will probably ask about your interests, your work experience
and your goals. Answer all the questions briefly. You should also prepare questions to ask
the interviewer about the company and the position you are seeking. Send a follow-up letter
to everyone who interviewed you no later than two days after the interview.In the letter,
thank the interviewer for the time spent discussing the position with you. Let the interviewer
know if you are still interested in the job.

Exercise 6
If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school,
when you are 17-18. You can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people
choose a university that is not in their own town. So, university students usually live away
from home. Students get a grant from the government to study. At the beginning of your
last year at school, you receive an appication form. On this form you chose up to five
universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with
information from your school about you and your academic record. If the universities are
interested in your application, they will ask you to attend an interview. If they are still
interested after the interview, they will offer you a place.
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take
place several months before students do their A-level examinations. These are the exams
that you do at the end of your time at school. So, when a university makes an offer, it will
tell you the minimum grades that you will have to get when you do you’re a-level exams. If
you don’t get those grades, then, you will not be able to accept the place. It will be offered
to someone else and you must apply again to another university. You don’t have to accept
your place immediately. Some students don’t want to go straight from school to university.
So, after they have taken their A-level, they take a year out to work or travel.

Exercise 7
Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our
jobs. For that reason, we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use
them. We can do this through skill tests, interviews with specialists and study of books in
our field of interest. There are many careers open to each of us. Perhaps we like science,
then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists or biologists. Maybe our
interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel
management or public relations. Many people find their place in government service,
teaching, newspaper work, medicine, and engineering. These and many other fields offer
fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.

Students at the age of 18 always have to face difficult decision to make : some want to go
on with their study at college or university; others prefer to start work immediately. Many
school leavers are eager to go to work in order to make money to live independently and
help their parents. They always do their best to overcome any obstacles they may
encounter. Unfortunately, owing to the guidance poor and bold from their parents and
teachers, most boys and girls are ill-prepared for unemployment. Therefore, they often feel
worried and build up all sorts of fearsome prospects in their minds as the time to start works
gets nearer. It is the duty of the school and family to prepare these young people for their
future jobs.

Exercise 9
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and
offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering
data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine
can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial
the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA
Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the
numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted
when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago.
Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on
the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in
a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems
for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s
responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are
reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction
with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for
advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even
when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from
the office.
1. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned ?
A. The advantages of telecommuting. B. A definition of telecommuting.
C. An overview of telecommuting. D. The failure of telecommuting.
2. How many Americans are involved in telecommuting ?
A. More than predicted in Business Week. B. More than 8 million.
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today. D. Fewer than last year.
3. The phrase “of no consequence” means
A. of no use B. of no good C. unimportant D. irrelevant
4. The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT
A. the opportunities for advancement. B. the different system of supervision.
C. the lack of interaction with a group. D. The work place is in the home.
5. The word “ executives “ in line 10 refers to
A. telecommuters B. managers C. employees D. most people
6. The word “ them” in line 11 refers to
A. systems B. telecommuters C. executives D. responsibilities
7. The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees
A. need regular interaction with their families.
B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office.
C. feel that a work area in their home is away from the office.
D. are ignorant of telecommuting.
8. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is
A. a telecommuter B. the manager C. a statistician D. a reporter
9. The word “reluctant” in line 13 can best be replaced by

B. there was resistance on the part of many managers about telecommuting.
C. the trend for telecommuting was optimistic.
D. most telecommuters were satisfied with their work.
Exercise 10
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must
be done with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not
simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore
your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding
career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one.
Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to
where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision.
You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses.
Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing.
Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel ? Do you want to work with
children ? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work ?” There are no right
or wrong answers ; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job
features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot
accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to
sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector,
supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the
office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in
concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large
cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and
retail sales are found in all regions of the country.
If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting
wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries;
however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training,
promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries
evoke positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant
appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are
not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less
obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas
plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as
you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to
new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.
