Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been halved since the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared with 25 percent in 1985. Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also good for their children. Handson fathers make better parents than men who let their wives do all the nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive and daughters who are more likely to do well in school especially in math and science. In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the population was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 per cent of the U.S. population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults must plan for the needs of both their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable grace. One in four households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are less likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past, and have more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandchildren. Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce rates are likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for both adults and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained. And many families are doing this. More noncustodial parents are staying in touch with their children. Childsupport receipts are rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced families are exhibiting problems than in earlier decades. And stepfamilies are learning to maximize children's access to supportive adults rather than cutting them off from one side of the family 1.

Read about some alternative schools of thought… One school in Hampshire, UK, offers 24hour teaching. The children can decide when or if they come to school. The school is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., for 364 days a year and provides Online teaching throughout the night. The idea is that pupils don’t have to come to school and they can decide when they want to study. Cheryl Heron, the head teacher, said “Some students learn better at night. Some students learn better in the morning.” Cheryl believes that if children are bored, they will not come to school. “Why must teaching only be conducted in a classroom? You can teach a child without him ever coming to school.” Steiner schools encourage creativity and free thinking so children can study art, music and gardening as well as Science and history. They don” have to learn to read and write at an early age. At some Steiner schools the teachers can’t use textbooks. They talk to the children, who learn by listening. Every morning the children have to go to Special music and movement classes called “eurhythmy”, which help them learn to concentrate. Very young children learn foreign languages through music and song. Another difference from traditional schools is that at Steiner schools you don’t have to do any tests or exams A child learning music with the Suzuki method has to start as young as possible Even twoyearold children can learn to play difficult pieces of classical music, often on the violin. They do this by watching and listening. They learn by copying, just like they learn their mother tongue. The child has to join in, but doesn’t have to get it right. “They soon learn that they mustn’t stop every time they make a mistake. They just carry on,” said one Suzuki trainer. The children have to practise for hours every day and they give performances once a week, so they learn quickly. “The parents must be involved too,” said the trainer, “or it just doesn’t work.” (Source: Adapted from Speak out) 1.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent report by the housing group, Shelter Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twentyfive will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the “cardboard city” in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes – cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organisations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board up to ten weeks But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but “throwaways” – people who have been thrown out of their homes 0r forced to leave because of parental divorce, an unsympathetic stepparent or one of many other reasons Take the case of one sixteenyearold schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics homework. Her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to Science Advanced Level Exams – which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that studying sciences was unladylike! Shelter says that the government’s laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of cheap housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twentyfive are causing a national problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twentyfive gets less than older people and they can only claim State help if they prove that they left home for a good reason Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can’t get a job because employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can’t get a job, you are homeless because you don’t have any money to pay for accommodation. It’s an impossible situation (Source: FCE success workbook) 1. According to a recent report by Shelter, it appears that _ A. Hostels are too full to offer accommodation to homeless young people B.
