II. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer to<br />
each of the questions.<br />
All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent<br />
report by the housing group, Shelter.<br />
Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year, says<br />
Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the “cardboard city” in<br />
London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes – cardboard boxes. Others may<br />
Code 123<br />
<br />
Page 3/5<br />
<br />
find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organisations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them<br />
board up to ten weeks.<br />
But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but<br />
“throwaways” – people who have been thrown out of their homes 0r forced to leave because of parental<br />
divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.<br />
Take the case of one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just<br />
passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics<br />
homework. Her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to do Science<br />
Advanced Level Exams – which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that studying sciences<br />
was unladylike!<br />
Shelter says that the government’s laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of<br />
cheap housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national<br />
problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between<br />
sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim State help if they prove that<br />
they left home for a good reason.<br />
Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced<br />
to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can’t get a job because<br />
employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can’t get a job, you are homeless<br />
because you don’t have any money to pay for accommodation. It’s an impossible situation.<br />
