PART 3: READING :
Read the following passages and choose the options that best fit each of the numbered blanks
Passage 1
The generation gap (1) _____ to the difference in attitudes or behavior between a younger
generation and the older one. In my opinion, different attitudes towards life, different views about
certain problems, and a lack of communication can cause a generation gap in most societies. The first
factor is that parents and children generally see things from different (2) _____. Choosing a career is
a good example for this. Many parents try to impose certain careers they favor (3) _____ their children, based
on their own perceptions. However, young people don't always understand their parents' points of views.
Instead, they prefer to be free to make their own decisions on their future career. Another factor lies in differences
in musical tastes, fashion, and political views between young people and their parents. (4) _____, having a pierced
nose might be viewed as fashionable by some teens, but for many parents, it is considered to be an
act of rebellion against social norms.
The major factor (5) _____ the generation gap is lack of communication between parents and their
children. Parents tend to be dominant and not to trust their children to deal with crises. Also, they keep talking
too much about certain problems. That is the reason why young people seldom reveal their feelings to their
parents. When facing problems, young people prefer to seek help from their classmates or friends.
Question 1: A. implies B. refer C. infers D. mentions

career choice - can become a stumbling block between parents and children. And that's normal, (1)_____
generation gap is real. However, we can try to understand each other, to hear each other out.
Our parents and grandparents often remember their youth and (2)_______ it with how they see our teenage
years. But it’s not right, because people almost always tend forget bad things about the past and remember only
good things. So they say that in their youth everything was better.
Sometimes our parents are hovering around their almost adult children, being overprotective. It can annoy
now and then, but they are just worry about our well-being. It’s not good, though, when parents don’t let their
child (3)______ his or her own decisions and mistakes. It’s crucial to learn to cope (4)______ problems on your
own, because parents won’t be around forever. And for the same reason teenagers should spend more time with
family, if possible.
We all have our own experience, ideas, feelings and thought and sometimes it’s really hard to hear
(5)_______ person, because we are too focused on ourselves. Warm and trusting relationship between parents and
children is great and I hope that every teenager could have a person (5)______ wouldn’t turn cold shoulder to
him.

Passage 3
Tom Bloch
At the age of 40, Tom Bloch was the head of H&R Block, a huge company that helps people prepare their tax
forms. Although Bloch earned a lot of money, he wasn’t very happy as he spent too much time at work and didn’t
have enough time to spend with his family. Suddenly, he left H&R Block and became a teacher in a poor
neighborhood. “ I wanted to help people who didn’t have the opportunities I had,” Bloch explained.
Learning to control the students is hard. But the rewards – helping children and hearing them say he’s their
favorite teacher – are great. And Bloch is able to spend more time with his family.
The Neale Family
For 11 years, Tom Neale worked as a lawyer, and his wife, Mel, worked as a teacher. They saved every penny
they could. Finally, they had enough money to buy a boat. That was 17 years ago. Since then, except for occasional
stops, they have been at sea.
For the Neales and their two daughters, the difficulties of their lifestyle are very real: there’s not much money,
so meals are often rice, beans and of course, fish. Storms are dangerous, especially when the boat is far from land.
But Tom Neale says overcoming dangers together as a family is one of the rewards of their way of life. Another,
he says, is “seeing the starfish on the bottom of the sea in the moonlight.”

D. It is a hard job and can bring him a lot of money to support the family.
 3. What does the word “rewards ’ mean ?
A. dangers B. difficulties of their lifestyle C. good things D. overcoming dangers
4. What is the common thing of Tom Bloch and Tom Neale ?
A. They are relatives who love adventure.
B. Earning a lot of money is the only aim in their lives.
C. They appreciate spending time with their families.

THE ASEAN UNIVERSITY NETWORK
It is clear that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, established in 1967, has achieved

became the point of attention of the ASEAN leaders. The idea was later developed into the ASEAN University
Network (AUN). The network was founded in November 1995 with the original number of 13 universities in
ASEAN member countries. After the enlargement of ASEAN by the ASEAN Charter in 1997 and 1999, the
AUN membership increased to 20 member universities, with the addition of two universities from Myanmar,
three from Laos, Malaysia, and Cambodia, and two from Indonesia. The main objective of the AUN is to
strengthen the existing network of cooperation among universities in ASEAN by promoting collaborative
studies and research programmes. Furthermore, the AUN attempts to promote cooperation and solidarity among
scientists and scholars in the region and to develop academic and professional human resources as well as to
spread scientific knowledge and information among the universities in the region.

Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the youngest of three
sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their mother used to do - she works as a
photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines in 1995 when she
graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes were modeled by her friends, Naomi
Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news
around the world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer but she had spent time working in
the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion house Chloe. People
said the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname and her famous parents but Stella
soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which she would like to wear herself, although she's not a
model, and many famous models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house
