Read the following text and choose the correct answer.

The family dynamic evolves as a teen matures and can test the parent-teen relationship.
With both sides feeling mixed emotions, this time can be challenging.

Puberty brings lots of emotions for teens and is a time of readjustment for the whole
family. Parents have a huge influence on a young child’s values and interests, and so it
can often feel hard for them to separate from their teen, who wants to develop their own
identity and to have new freedoms. This may lead to conflict, as both parents and teens
need time to figure out how to adapt to the relationship.

As teens get older, it is important for them to take on responsibilities. This highlights the
valuable contribution each family member makes to a home and teaches teens about
what it’s like to be an adult. Setting clear rules about routine and home life helps teens to
know what’s expected of them - even if they do complain or resist. Expectations go both
ways, however, and so constant communication and flexibility, when necessary, will help
avoid conflict.

It is important for parents and teens to overcome life’s many distractions in order to
spend quality time together. For parents, maintaining a close relationship with a teen
who is preprogrammed to separate from them can be tricky, but it helps to be present and
willing. Talking about the things that are going well is as helpful as discussing areas of
conflict.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions.

In 2002, several obese teenagers in the USA sued McDonald’s, claiming that the company

was responsible for making them fat. They argued that McDonald’s deliberately misled

them into thinking that their cheeseburgers and other Products were healthy and

nutritious food. They claimed that the company had not warned them about the health

problems that can result from eating too much salty, high-fat food and drinking too
many sugary drinks: diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. The mother of one of the

children, who at the age of 15 weighed more than 180 kilograms, said in her statement: ‘I

always believed McDonald’s was healthy for my son.’ McDonald’s rejected the claim that

they were responsible for these teenagers’ health problems. ‘People don’t go to sleep thin

and wake up obese,’ said McDonald’s lawyer, Brad Lerman. ‘The understanding of what

hamburgers and French fries do has been with us for a long, long time,’ he added. The

judge reed, and dismissed the case, saying: ‘it is not the place of the law to protect people

against their own excesses.’ In other words, if people choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food,

they can’t blame the company that sold it to them.

Other similar lawsuits against fast food companies in the USA have also failed. In 2005,

the US House of Representatives passed a bill which became known as the ‘Cheeseburger

Biir. It made it much harder for obese people to take legal action against the food

industry. However, the bill has not ended the arguments about responsibility. There is

some scientific evidence to suggest that fast food is addictive, and harmful too. So is

selling fast food the same, in a way, as drug-dealing?
