Others are wearing headphones, listening to music on their MP3 players. That's just the way life is today. We all spend a fair amount of our time connected to technology. Now imagine living in a world without smartphones, tablets or any of the electronic gadgets we take for granted these days. There's no internet and you go to the library and look at a book when you want to find anything out. You play outside with friends in the real world instead of playing online video games in virtual worlds. There are no texts, no DVDs and no email. Welcome to 1986! That's the world the McMillan family from Ontario, Canada, decided to live in for a year. Blair, 27, Morgan, 28, and their two sons Trey and Denton, aged five and three, got rid of their cable TV, smartphones, internet, new games console, digital camera, DVD player and sat nav, and instead used an old TV, a radio, old telephones, a VHS video player, an old games console and maps. They decided to try it after seeing how their young children were becoming dependent on technology. They aren't alone. More and more parents today worry about the effect technology is having on their children, particularly very young children. The McMillans decided to get back to basics to see how things have changed. So how did they find their year without modem technology? ‘I thought Blair was mad when he suggested doing this whole thing,’ says Morgan, but it's made me realise how much time we wasted. We seem much more relaxed now, not checking in on email or Facebook all
the time.’ The McMillans are now back in the present with a different attitude to today's technology. Blair said, ‘I'm not anti-technology. I wanted to taste, and I wanted my kids to taste what it would be like without it, and to see if we could actually do it.” (Adapted from Optimise by Malcolm Mann and Steve Taylore-Knowles) Question 1.

A. hobby B. impression C. experience D. interest Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet Living on my own When I tell people about the idea of moving out, many people's reaction is like, “what do your parents say?” because they assume parents would not like their children to leave them. I don't know if my parents like it, but they always support and respect my decisions. They think it is good for me to try and live on my own and then I would know it is the best to stay with my family. The most important reason for independent living is to save the travelling time to work. It used to take me one hour fifteen minutes to travel to work from my previous living place. From my new apartment, it just takes me thirty minutes, so I saved forty-five minutes' travelling time. I don't have to get up early, and I save two thirds of my traveling cost. In addition, I gain my personal space and freedom by independent living. I make my own decisions; I don't have to say whether I would go home for dinner; I can invite my friends to come and stay late. Money is the main issue in living on your own. You have to be responsible for all the expenses. Therefore, you've got to be well prepared and save up for your bills. Although I find my transportation time much shorter, the saved time is spent on other things, such as cooking and other household chores. Preparing and cooking the food do occupy a significant portion of my time, therefore I always try to make simple meals. Moreover, I have to regularly tidy up my apartment and wash my clothes, so it doesn't really save much of my time after all. Now I'm getting used to my new life, and I'm enjoying it. I feel that moving out makes it easier for me to strike a balance between my work, my social life, my study and my family. It may be troublesome, but it may be worth it.

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 34 to 40. The age at which teenagers should become independent is a topic of debate and can vary depending on cultural norms and individual circumstances. While there is no set age that universally marks the transition to independence, it is generally recognized that the teenage years are a crucial period for developing autonomy and taking on increasing responsibility. During adolescence, teenagers undergo significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. They begin to form their own identities, explore their interests, and develop a sense of self. This period provides an opportunity for teenagers to gradually take on more independence and learn essential life skills that will prepare them for adulthood. However, it is important to note that independence should be a gradual process and not something expected to happen overnight. Teenagers still require guidance, support, and supervision from parents, caregivers, and trusted adults. The transition to independence should be based on individual maturity, readiness, and the ability to handle increasing responsibilities. Factors such as cultural expectations, family dynamics, and the level of trust and communication within the family also play a role in determining when teenagers should become more independent. Open and honest communication between parents and teenagers is crucial in navigating this transition, as it allows for discussions about expectations, boundaries, and the gradual relinquishing of parental control. It is important to recognize that the journey towards independence is not solely determined by age, but also by the readiness and capabilities of the teenager. Some teenagers may display greater maturity and responsibility at an earlier age, while others may require more time and support to develop these skills. Parental guidance and assessment of the teenager’s readiness are vital in determining when they should gradually assume more independence. It is essential to strike a balance between fostering independence and ensuring the teenager’s well-being and safety. By providing opportunities for growth, encouraging responsible decision-making, and maintaining a supportive environment, parents can help teenagers navigate the path to independence at a pace that suits their individual development.
