Everybody likes to feel that she or he is special. Sadly, many of us grow up believing that we're not special
at all. We wish that we could be more attractive or better at sports. We wish we had more money or nicer
clothes. Like the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz, we think we're not
good enough just as we are. In the film, The Tin Man wishes he had a heart. The Scarecrow wishes that he had
a brain, and the Lion wants courage. Eventually, each of them realizes that he already has what he wants.

Nearly all parents want us to be the best we can be. They occasionally attempt to encourage us to do better
by comparing us to others. They mean well, but the message we usually get is that we're not good enough. We
start to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than somebody else, but we are frequently
disappointed. There will always be somebody out there that is better than we are at something. There are a lot
of people around who may not be as intelligent as we are but who are better at sports. Or they may not be as
handsome, but they have more money. It is unthinkable for us to be better than everybody else all the time. Like
the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, we all need what we believe will make us better people.
What we don't understand is that often we already have inside us the very things that we look for. Our parents
often forget to tell us that we are special, that we are good enough just as we are. Perhaps no one told them
when they were growing up, or maybe they just forgot. Either way, it's up to us to remind them sometimes that
each of us, in our own way, is special.

A. We are all good enough just the way we are

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 from 36 to 42.
It is often held that technology in general does little to help family relationships as, in many cases, family
members are more interested in their smartphones and the TV than they are in each other. Before smartphones,
the TV was blamed the most for breakdowns in communication between parents and children. It was argued
that 'the box' stopped them from talking to each other, and clashes between family members over what
programmes to watch created barriers and caused resentment.
However, TV programmes can be both informative and entertaining. They often provide topics for
family members to discuss, bringing them closer together rather than driving them further apart. What is more,
twenty-first century families do not need to watch the same programme at the same time. The fact that people
can watch what they want results in more time for families to be together rather than less.
The smartphone has taken over from the TV as the major reason for a lack of communication between
family members. Parents often do not see why their children spend so much time online and fail to see the
importance of having an online identity while most teens feel their online image is part of who they are. They
often criticise the amount of time their children spend online rather than attempting to understand why they do
it. In fact, adults are often not very good examples themselves. Who has not witnessed a table at a restaurant
where all the family members are silently focused on their mobile devices?
Broadly speaking, smartphones do have some negative effects on family relationships. This technology
is still relatively new, so many families have not yet learned how to deal with it. Parents and children should
discuss how they use technology to help them all make the most of technology instead of blaming it for their
problems.
Question 36: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Deal with Generation Gap in the Family
