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.
Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too busy to listen
to their stories from the olden days.
A study of 1,000 five- to 18-year-olds reveals just 21 per cent will visit their older relatives to
hear about how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was
living in the war, and how they met the love of their life. More than half of youths have no idea
what job their grandparent did before retirement. Sadly, one in ten admit they are simply not
interested in their grandmother's or grandad's talents and interests, and a quarter only turn up to
see them for pocket money. But 23 percent claim the reason they don't know anything about
their older relatives is that they don't really get the chance to talk properly.
Researchers found that although 65 per cent of youngsters do see their grandparents every
single week, 37 per cent claim this is only because their parents want them to. And while 39 per
cent talk to their grandparents on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a week - 16 per
cent once a day - conversation is rarely focused on what they are doing or have done in the past.
Four in 10 kids have no idea what their grandparent's proudest achievements are, while 30 per
cent don't know if they have any special skills or talents. And 42 per cent don't spend any time
talking about their grandparent's history -and are therefore clueless about what their grandmother
or grandad was like when they were younger. Perhaps due to this lack of communication and
respect, just six per cent of children say they look up to their grandparents as a role model and
inspiration.
Câu 12. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. Young people's tendency to neglect their grandparents
 B. Grandparents' loneliness in their old age
C. Grandparents' attitudes towards youngsters
D. Young people's disinterest in their grandparents' stories

relatives.
B. Over 50% of the young don't know about their older relatives' past professions.
C. Most of youths visit their grandparents to ask for pocket money.
D. Merely one fifth of people in the survey keep asking about the bygone time of their
grandparents.
Câu 14. According to the last paragraph, the proportion of the young voluntarily visiting their
older family members every week is _______.
A. 39% B. 27% C. 28% D. 65%
Câu 15. The word 'admit' in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.

generation.

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.
Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do
our jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay
healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a home
and needed to lose weight. So he decided to do something about it. He invented the cycle washer.
The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only feels healthier but
he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've
already noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the
cycle washer. I keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full
of energy. Then I generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day."
The green washing machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a
carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20
minutes to dry them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course.
Mr Gadsden, the boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine could become very
popular. With an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your electricity
bill, he may well be right.
