PART III. READING

Exercise 8. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions below.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single-parent, blended (more than one family
together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to name a few. No matter the "type" of family you have,
there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. 
Many times, however, families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion.
These emotions are natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with THEM. The worst
time for most families is during a divorce. 
By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible to
create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support; they can be sources of
lifelong strength for all individuals. 
It is never too late to begin the process of improving family relationships - even if they are already of good quality
- by developing some simple skills. 
Whereas in other situations you can step back and assess the relationship, it is often hard to do this with your
family. Your family may be a constant presence in your life, so when an argument or issue arises, it may seem impossible
to HANDLE. 
Remember that communication is key to resolving conflict. While it may seem that your siblings are constantly
present to annoy you or boss you around, they are also there to communicate. 
Use your family's presence to your advantage – communicate with each other, develop ways to value boundaries,
and build trust and respect. 
Question 46. The passage mainly discusses ____.
A. families in the 21st century 
B. how to keep and improve family relationships 
C. what changes to make for a happier family 
D. family problems and solutions in the 21st century 
Question 47. The word "THEM" in the passage refers to ____.
A. families B. emotions C. relationships D. times 
Question 48. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? 
A. All families experience both good and bad times. 
B. Family care and support make individuals strong. 
C. Good family relationships need no improvements. 
D. Normally, it is hard to assess family relationships. 
Question 49. The word "HANDLE" in the passage almost means ____.
A. hold B. share C. control D. solve 
Question 50. According to the passage, which of the following is the best way to deal with family problems? 
A. Making changes to create happier, more stable relationships 
B. Communicating among family members for better understanding

 C. Developing some simple skills to assess family relationships 
D. Valuing boundaries, and building trust and respect among family members 

Exercise 9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or phrase that

from younger generations just don't get it? Maybe you find (51) ____ easier to connect with people who are closer to your
age than those who are older or younger than you. You can probably thank the generation gap (52) ____ these feelings. 
There are currently six (53) ___________ living in the United States: the Greatest Generation, Silent Generation,
Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Each generation has its own unique set of characteristics
and norms. For example, the Greatest Generation (born 1901-1924) is known for its patriotism, hard workers, and loyalty
to institutions. The Millennials (born 1980-2000) are (54) ____ by their dependence on technology, detachment from
traditional institutions, optimism, and open-mindedness. It is no wonder that many people from different generations have
a hard time understanding each other. 
Generation gap refers to differences in actions, (55) ____, interests, and opinions that exist between individuals
from different generations. So, what causes these differences?
