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 following questions 31 to 35.

Parents complain that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers say exactly the same thing about their parents! According to a recent survey, the most common arguments between parents and teenagers are those regarding untidiness and household chores. On the one hand, parents go mad over untidy rooms, clothes dropped on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the housework. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents tell them off for dropping the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.

The survey, conducted by St George University, showed that different parents have different approaches to these problems. However, some approaches are much more successful than others. For example, those parents who yell at their teens for their untidiness, but later clear up after them, have fewer chances of changing their teens’ behaviour. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the consequences of their actions are more successful. For instance, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favourite food in the fridge, they are forced to reconsider their actions.

Psychologists say that the most important thing in parent-teen relationships is communication. Parents should talk to their teens, but at the same time they should mull over what their children voice. Parents should tell their teens off when they are untidy, but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and understanding each other that problems between parents and teens can be solved.

A. Issues in parent-teen relationships and solutions    B. Communication among teenagers

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 following questions from 46 to 50.

These days, power is a big concern for many countries. People are using more and more electricity, but our traditional sources of electricity, coal and oil, are getting smaller and smaller. In addition, both coal and oil power plants create a lot of pollution. How will we get enough electricity in the future? Some scientists are looking to the sky for answers.

The sun is an almost endless source of energy. Every minute, the Earth gets enough energy from the sun to provide the world with electricity for a year. The problem is that this energy is in the form of heat and light. To use this energy, we need to change it into electricity. Solar cells already do this for calculators and other electronics. Unfortunately, solar cells only produce a small amount of electricity. We can make larger solar cells, but it is very expensive.

Instead, scientists are now trying to build solar power plants. These power plants would use thousands of huge mirrors to focus the light of the sun on a small place, where it would create a lot of heat. The heat would then be used to create electricity. This creates more electricity than solar cells, but not enough. The biggest solar power plant in the world creates 15 megawatts of electricity. In contrast, most nuclear power plants create about 1,000 megawatts of electricity.
