Part 2. 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. (1.25pts)
There isn't much variety in TV's portrayal of teenagers. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that images of teenagers are
mostly stereotypical. And when programmes try and show less stereotypical teenagers, they don't always get it
right.

Older actors in their mid-20s frequently play the roles of teenagers, creating the false image that we are all spot-
free, glamorous young adults. It doesn't help anyone's self-image to compare themselves to make-believe stars.
However, the shows' producers think that superstar actors help make 'perfect teenagers' and help make their
programmes big hits. They show lack of interest in how real the teenagers really are.

In many programmes, teenagers lead easy and sometimes wild lifestyles where everyone has a new car and plenty
of money to spend. In reality, we don't always have enough change in our pockets to go and sit in a café or go
shopping every day. But, because it's television, the idealistic lives of these teenagers appear far more interesting
than ours.

The way teenagers are portrayed by adults on television can give us an insight into how our elders perceive us. On
rare occasions, they can get it horribly wrong and make out that most teens are hooligans who steal and fight just
to pass the time. Surprisingly, some of us are actually intelligent individuals, who are fully aware of the world and
its fears. As hard as it may be to believe, young adults aren't defenceless and incompetent. And we are certainly
not naive.
26. TV programmes present teenagers as
A. totally different among themselves B. youngsters who want to take over the world
C. too weak to take action D. more or less the same
27. The author believes that TV producers
A. fail to present the true image of teenagers
B. use superstars to show the teenager life as it really is
C. help teenagers improve their lives
D. help lots of teenagers become popular
28. The text says that TV often shows most teenagers
A. dreaming about fulfilling their ideals B. as stupid
C. as hooligans who steal and fight for fun D. from the adults' point of view
29. The word "incompetent" in the passage is CLOSEST in meaning to
A. having experience B. not having the abilityC. being good at D. not having experience
30. Everyday teenagers
A. find themselves smarter than actors B. find it hard to defend themselves
C. have lots of fears in this world D. believe they are quite competent
