X. READING
Read the following passage and Circle A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Super Size Me is a 2004 film by Morgan Spurlock, in which he documents his experiment to eat only
McDonald's fast food three times a day, every day, for thirty days.
Spurlock made himself a short list of rules for the experiment, including an obligation to eat all of the
three meals he ordered. He also had to ‘Super Size’, which means accepting a giant portion every time
the option was offered to him. He ended up vomiting after the first Super Size meal he finished, after
taking nearly twenty minutes to consume it.
After five days Spurlock put on almost 5kg, and he soon found himself feeling depressed, with no
energy. The only thing that got rid of his headaches and made him feel better was another McDonald's
meal, so his doctors told him he was addicted. More seriously, around day twenty, he started experiencing
heart palpitations and one of the doctors detected liver problems. However, in spite of his doctor's advice,
Spurlock continued to the end of the month and achieved a total weight gain of 11kg. His body mass
index also increased from a healthy 23.2 to an overweight 27.
It took Spurlock fifteen months to recover from his experiment and return to his original weight, but
the film also had a wider impact. Just after its showing in 2004, McDonald's phased out the Super Size
option and healthier options like salads appeared on the menu.
Unfortunately, McDonald's denied the connection between the film and the changes, but it is
interesting to note how closely they coincided with the release of the film.

day

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.

IS THERE REALLY A GENERATION GAP?

According to the results of a survey in USA WEEKEND Magazine, there isn't really a generation gap.
The magazine's "Teens & Parents" survey shows that today's generation of young people generally get
along well with their parents and appreciate the way they're being raised. Most feel that their parents
understand them, and they believe their parents consider family as the No. 1 priority in their lives.
Although more than a third of teens have something in their rooms they would like to keep secret from
their parents, it is usually nothing more harmful than a diary or a CD.
Such results may seem surprising in the context of the violent events that people hear about in the
media. Maybe because of the things they hear, parents worry that their own kids might get out of control
once they reach the teenage years. However, the facts in the survey should make us feel better. The
survey shows us that today's teens are loving and sensible. They are certainly happier than the angry
people in the teenage stereotypes we all know about. True, some teenagers are very angry, and we need to
recognize their needs, but the great majority of teens are not like that at all.
In contrast to some stereotypes, most teens believe they must be understanding about differences
among individuals. Many of them volunteer for community service with disadvantaged people. When
they talk about themselves, their friends and their families, they sound positive and proud. Generally,
these are very nice kids.
Is this spirit of harmony a change from the past? Only a generation ago, parent-child relations were
described as the "generation gap". Yet even then, things were not so bad. Most kids in the 1960s and
1970s shared their parents' basic values.
Perhaps, however, it is true that American families are growing closer at the beginning of this new
millennium. Perhaps there is less to fight about, and the dangers of drug abuse and other unacceptable
behavior are now well known. Perhaps, compared to the impersonal world outside the home, a young
person's family is like a friendly shelter, not a prison. And perhaps parents are acting more like parents
than they did 20 or 30 years ago.
1. What did the survey find out about teenagers in paragraph 1?
A. They get along well with their parents. B. They appreciate good CDs.
C. They keep secrets from their parents. D. They stay in their rooms.
2. What is the stereotype referred to in paragraph 2?
A. Teens are people who recognize their needs.
B. Teens are loving and sensible.
C. Teens are much happier than we think.
D. Teens are angry people.
3. What does the word 'them’ in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. stereotypes B. individuals C. teens D. families
4. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Differences between teens. B. Stereotypes about teens.
C. The positive attitude of teens to others. D. Volunteering for disadvantaged people.
5. In the last paragraph, according to the writer, one reason why American families are closer is that ___
A. the dangers of drug abuse are less. B. there is no generation gap.
C. parents are friendlier to children. D. the world is an unfriendly place.
- The end –
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL !
