We want to shout about the amazing feats retirees have achieved in their lifetime and put the spotlight on the wonderfully colorful lives of today’s older people We are calling on parents and children to talk to their grandparents, to find out what they have done in their lives – and continue to do, and tell us all about it so we can give them the credit they deserve.” Researchers found that although 65 percent of youngsters see their grandparents every single week, 37 percent claim this is only because their parents want them to And while 39 percent talk to their grandparents on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a week – 16 percent 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 grandparents proudest achievements are, while 30 percent don’t know if they have any special skills or talents And 42 percent 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 percent of children say they look up to their grandparents as a role model and inspiration However, grandchildren are agreed their grandparents are both loving and friendly, while 43 percent think they’re funny – with 23 percent admitting they often have more fun with their elderly relatives than their parents 44 Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage? A Grandparents are outdated people in their families B Young people now not concern much about their grandparents C Grandparents are not interested in telling stories about their life in the past any more D Young people are too busy to take care of their grandparents 45 According to the study in paragraph 2, which information is NOT true? A Merely over one fifth of people in the survey keep asking about the bygone time of their grandparents B Over 50% of the young don’t know about their older relatives’ professions before superannuation C Most of youths visit their grandparents to ask for money D Nearly a quarter of young people don’t have proper opportunities to converse with their older relatives 46 The word “feats” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A accomplishments B failures C difficulties D differences 47 What does the word “they” in paragraph refer to? A parents B children C colorful lives D grandparents 48 It can be inferred from paragraph that McCarthy & Stone’s Inspirational Generation campaign _ A encourages people to ask more questions about their grandparents’ jobs B would like to honour the retirees with their remarkable achievements and experienced life C hopes to give recognition to the older family members D intends to retell the heroic tails of the older generation and find out what they have done in the past 49 According to the last paragraph, the proportion of the young voluntarily visiting their older family members every week is A 37% B 65% C 28% D 39% 50 The word “inspiration” in the last paragraph mostly means A disincentive B encumbrance C stimulation D hindrance THE END | Unit 14 – International organizations - Vocabulary - Grammar – Nguyễn Hoàng Anh
