Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap，a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience，while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually，the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. In more traditional societies，when children grow up，they are expected to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and approve of，and often to continue the family occupation. In our society，young people often travel great distances for their educations，move out of the family home at an early age，marry-or live with-people whom their parents have never met，and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our upwardly mobile society，parents often expect their children to do better than they did：to find better jobs，to make more money，and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often，however，the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often，they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally，the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture，elderly people are valued for their wisdom，but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds，separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt，the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society，and in the rapid pace at which society changes.The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.A. the generation gap suddenly appearedB. the generation gap is a feature of American lifeC. how people can reduce the generation gapD. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
In American society，young people often______.A. rely on their parents to make a lifeB. stay with their parents in order to get an opportunity for higher educationC. seek the best advice from their parentsD. have very little in common with their parents

Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.①The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. “We worry more about their safety in the holidays,” explains one mother from North London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room! Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.②Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous?③Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents. “At least our parents can keep tabs on us（keep a tab/tabs on sth/sbkeep account of , keep under observation）,” says 16-year-old Julia. “So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.” Mobiles are not just expensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they make parents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.④Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.31. Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______.A. wander around on bus in the cityB. chat to strangers in Internet chat roomsC. make questionable friends on the netD. are taken little care of by teachers
