Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
question.
When your child was younger, your role was to lay the foundations for his behaviour. For example, you
probably showed your child how to cooperate and take turns with others. Now your child is in his teens, he can
start taking responsibility for his own behaviour. But you’re still an important role model.
What you do shows your child how you want her to behave. For example, how you cope with feelings
like frustration and distress influences how your child regulates her emotions. What you eat, how much you
exercise, and how you look after yourself all influence your child. What you say is also important. You can help
your child to manage and control his behaviour by talking about how behaviour affects other people. You can
also talk more with your child about the differences between right and wrong. Now’s a good time for this
because your child is developing his ability to understand other people’s experiences and feelings.

2
 You might think that your child’s peers and friends have a stronger influence in the teenage years than
you do. Friends and peers do influence your child, but so do you - it’s just that peer influence is different from
your influence. Your child’s friends are more likely to influence everyday behaviour, like the music your child
listens to or the clothes he wears. As a parent, you influence your child’s basic values, like religious values, and
issues related to her future, like educational choices. And the stronger your relationship with your child, the
more influence you’ll have. That’s because your child values your good opinion, advice and support. In fact, it’s
likely that when your child becomes a young adult, he’ll end up with values, beliefs and behaviour that are
similar to yours.

Question 26 : Which of the following could be the main topic of the passage?

Question 27 : The word “regulates” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. controls B. manages C. conveys D. expresses
Question 28 : The word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. the difference between right and wrong B. behaviour
C. helping your child D. talking to your child
Question 29 : What is the main distinction between the influence of parents and that of friends?
A. Friends may change children’s daily actions while parents affect their essential values.
B. Friends may affect children’s interests whereas parents set up their personalities.
C. Friends may influence children’s choices while parents offer advice and support.
D. Friends’ effects on children are greater than those of parents.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
question.
When your child was younger, your role was to lay the foundations for his behaviour. For example, you
probably showed your child how to cooperate and take turns with others. Now your child is in his teens, he can
start taking responsibility for his own behaviour. But you’re still an important role model.
What you do shows your child how you want her to behave. For example, how you cope with feelings
like frustration and distress influences how your child regulates her emotions. What you eat, how much you
exercise, and how you look after yourself all influence your child. What you say is also important. You can help
your child to manage and control his behaviour by talking about how behaviour affects other people. You can
also talk more with your child about the differences between right and wrong. Now’s a good time for this
because your child is developing his ability to understand other people’s experiences and feelings.
You might think that your child’s peers and friends have a stronger influence in the teenage years than
you do. Friends and peers do influence your child, but so do you - it’s just that peer influence is different from
your influence. Your child’s friends are more likely to influence everyday behaviour, like the music your child
listens to or the clothes he wears. As a parent, you influence your child’s basic values, like religious values, and
issues related to her future, like educational choices. And the stronger your relationship with your child, the
more influence you’ll have. That’s because your child values your good opinion, advice and support. In fact, it’s
likely that when your child becomes a young adult, he’ll end up with values, beliefs and behaviour that are
similar to yours.
(Adapted from https://raisingchildren.net.au/)
Question 15 : Which of the following could be the main topic of the passage?
A. The differences between the parents’ effects and peers’ ones
B. Parents’ influence on children
C. How children grow up
D. Parents’ responsibilities for children’s behavior
Question 16 : The word “regulates” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. controls B. manages C. conveys D. expresses
Question 17 : The word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. the difference between right and wrong B. behaviour
C. helping your child D. talking to your child
Question 18 : What is the main distinction between the influence of parents and that of friends?
A. Friends may change children’s daily actions while parents affect their essential values.
B. Friends may affect children’s interests whereas parents set up their personalities.
C. Friends may influence children’s choices while parents offer advice and support.
D. Friends’ effects on children are greater than those of parents.
Question 19 : According to the passage, in which of the following aspects are children NOT affected by
parents?
A. education B. beliefs C. passion D. behaviour
