(1.0 point)<br /> During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They<br /> often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in<br /> school. This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to<br /> understand. It is a part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are<br /> still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions<br /> are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.<br /> Parents should do their best to talk to their son and daughter about school work and future<br /> plans. However, it is not a good idea that parents push teenagers to talk if they do not want to.<br /> Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying to be adult may<br /> experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of<br /> unusual behavior which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.<br /> 1. This passage is taken from a __________.<br /> A. parents’handbook<br /> B. school timetable<br /> C. teenage magazine<br /> D. book for children<br /> 2. What is the writer trying to do?<br /> A. to be amusing<br /> B. to be sorry<br /> C. to be questionable<br /> D. to be helpful<br /> 3. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult?<br /> A. Because teenagers are quiet.<br /> B. Because teenagers don't want to talk to their parents.<br /> C. Because most teenagers hate adults.<br /> D. Because teenagers think adults are not honest.<br /> 4. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?<br /> A. That teenagers do not want to talk to adults is unusual at their age.<br /> B. Teenagers will be unwilling to talk if people try to check up on them.<br /> C. It is advisable for parents to talk to their son and daughter about school work and future<br /> plans.<br /> D. Parents should not force teenagers to talk if they do not want to.<br /> 5.
