What’s the problem with British teenagers? Many British newspapers and TV programmes are asking this question at the moment A lot of people are saying that there are problems with teenagers

at school, on the streets and in their homes Why? What, or who, is responsible for these problems?

A recent BBC television series explores these questions It's called 'The world's strictest parents' Is

that because British parents are very strict? Just the opposite, it seems The director of the programme, Andrea Wiseman, explains why they are making it She thinks that in the United Kingdom teenagers pay no attention to adults They don't want to do well at school They think they can do what they

like and they are only interested in new fashions and Hollywood celebrities Why are British

teenagers like this? Wiseman says it's because their parents give their children everything they can But they give their children no limits, no rules, no discipline because they want their children to be 'free' They don't tell their children to work hard because they don't want their kids to have any stress The problem with this is that parents give their sons and daughters no cultural values When a teenager does something bad and their parents say something, the teenagers immediately say: 'My parents are really strict’ or 'My parents aren't fair' So what happens in the TV programme? Some problematic British teenagers go and live with parents in different parts of the world They live with families that believe in traditional discipline and cultural values In Ghana, Jamaica, Botswana and the Southern

US state of Alabama, the teenagers have the experience of living with parents who want and expect good behaviour and hard work The results are interesting In the end, the British teenagers seem to prefer having strict parents!

D don't give their kids discipline and rules

Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are True or False Write T for True, or F for False

The family in Britain is changing The once typical British family headed by two parents has undergone substantial changes during the twentieth century In particular there has been a rise in the number of single-person households, which increased from 18 to 29 percent of all households between 1971 and 2002 By the year 2020, it is estimated that there will be more single people than married people Fifty years ago this would have been socially unacceptable in Britain

In the past, people got married and stayed married Divorce was very difficult, expensive and took a long time Today, people's views on marriage are changing Many couples, mostly in their twenties or thirties, live together (cohabit) without getting married Only about 60% of these couples will eventually get married

In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in Britain are born to unmarried (cohabiting) parents In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain Cohabiting couples are also starting families

Trang 11

without first being married Before 1960, this was very unusual, but in 2001 around 23 percent of births in the UK were to cohabiting couples

People are generally getting married at a later age now and many women do not want to have children immediately They prefer to concentrate on their jobs and put off having a baby until late thirties

The number of single-parent families is increasing This is mainly due to more marriages ending

in divorce, but some women are also choosing to have children as lone parents without being married

(http://projectbritain.com)

6 In Britain, the number of single-person households has decreased from 1971 to 2002

7 It is estimated that there will be more married people than single people by the year 2020

8 In the past, there were few divorces because getting a divorce is difficult, expensive and

time-consuming

9 Today, nearly all cohabiting couples will get married later

10 In the past, British people got married before childbirth

11 Approximately 60% of children in Britain are born to cohabiting parents

12 More women don't want to give birth at an early age because they want to spend much time on

their jobs nowadays

Staff Sgt Nicholas Lanier has entered what he calls the "vast unknown." A combat veteran and father to four daughters, he can't remain in the military because of a serious back injury earned in Iraq

However, he can't yet accept a civilian job because he doesn't know when the military will discharge him He has no clue how much the government will pay him in disability compensation related to his injury, so he can't make a future budget He just waits

Thousands of troops are like Lanier: not fully fit to serve but in limbo for about two years waiting

to get discharged under a new system that was supposed to be more efficient than its predecessor And the delays are not only affecting service members, but the military's readiness as well New troops can't enlist until others are discharged

Trang 22

21

The government determines the pay and benefits given to wounded, sick or injured troops for their military service Under the old system, a medical board would determine their level of military compensation and the service member would be discharged Then the veteran essentially would have

to go through the process again with the Veterans Affairs Department to determine benefits

Under the new system, which started in 2007 and will be completely rolled out at military bases nationwide by the end of September, the service member essentially goes through both disability evaluation systems at the same time before leaving the military But the new, supposedly streamlined, system is still such a cumbersome process that it's leaving many service members in Limbo, they say

7 Why can’t Sgt Lanier serve in the military anymore?

A Because of his injured back

B Because of his hand

C Because his vision has deteriorated

D Because of his broken leg

8 Under the old system, an injured soldier would have to go through the claims process _

C Three times D More than three times

9 How long does it take to get discharged under the current system?

C A couple of months D Up to two years

10 How much will the government pay Sgt Lanier in disability compensation?

A They won't pay him anything

B He doesn’t know

C They will pay him about $2,500 per month

D They will pay him more than 2,500 per month

The youngest of five siblings of a family from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Hugh Herr (born October

25, 1964) was a prodigy rock climber: by age eight, he had scaled the face of the 3,544m Mount Temple in the Canadian Rockies, and by 17 he was acknowledged to be one of the best climbers in the United States

In January 1982, after having ascended a difficult technical ice route on Mount Washington in New Hampshire, Herr and a fellow climber, Jeff Batzer were caught in a blizzard, became disoriented

Trang 25

and passed three nights in -29 °C temperatures By the time they were rescued, the climbers had suffered severe frostbite Both of Herr's legs had to be amputated below the knees

Following months of surgeries and rehabilitation, Herr was doing what doctors told him was unthinkable: climbing again Using specialized prostheses that he designed, he created prosthetic feet that made it possible to stand on small rock edges, and titanium-spiked feet that assisted him in ascending steep ice walls As a result of using the prostheses, Herr climbed at an advanced level as

he had before the accident, making him the first person with a major amputation to perform in a sport

on par with elite-level, able-bodied persons

After his climbing career, Herr began to focus on academics, previously an area of little interest to him He earned an undergraduate degree in physics at his local college and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering at MIT, followed by a PhD in biophysics from Harvard University

After this, at MIT, he began working on advanced leg prostheses that imitate the functionality of the human leg

Currently, Herr is an associate professor in MIT’s Program in Media Arts and Sciences and in the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology As head of the Biomechatronics research group at the MIT Media Lab, he focuses on developing wearable robotic systems that serve to augment human physical capability

Hugh's invention is already making an enormous difference to the lives of people with disabilities

"Once you get used to it, it feels like you have your leg back," said Garth Stewart, a pleased soldier who lost a leg in the Iraq war Thanks to Hugh, people like Garth can overcome their disabilities and enjoy a better quality of life

The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to wreak havoc in low-lying, densely-populated delta regions around the globe

The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued

Trang 28

Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say But up to now, there has been a perplexing gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans

The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reconcile the models with observed data Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 metres (2,300 feet) from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC

6 What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?

A It causes sea levels to rise

B It causes sea levels to remain constant

C It causes sea levels to decrease

7 The rise in water levels is especially dangerous for small island nations and

A low-lying urban areas

B all coastal cities

C people who live on the beach

8 The new study _

A shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.32 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels

B did not reveal anything that scientists didn’t already know

C used new techniques to assess ocean temperatures

9 Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to

A lower water levels

B better predict climate change

C bury sea-level cities like Dhaka and Shanghai

10 What was the main finding of the study?

A That not enough is being done about global warming

B That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought

C That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an American reality Of course, the so called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups, but today diversity is even more obvious

The most recent government census statistics reveal that only about one third of all current

American families fits the traditional mold of two parents and their children, and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home An analysis

of the remaining one third of the population reveals that about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, the most common descriptor being women over sixty-five years of age A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; the rest, about 7 percent, are single parents, with at least one child

There are several easily identifiable reasons for the growing number of single-parent households First, the sociological phenomenon of single-parent households reflects changes in cultural attitudes toward divorce and also toward unmarried mothers A substantial number of adults become single parents as a result of divorce In addition, the number of children born to unmarried women who choose to keep their children and rear them by themselves has increased dramatically Finally, there

is a small percentage of single-parent families that have resulted from untimely death Today, these varied family types are typical and, therefore, normal

In addition, because many families live far from relatives, close friends have become a more important part of family life than ever before The vast majority of Americans claim that they have people in their lives whom they regard as family although they are not related A view of family that only accepts the traditional nuclear arrangement not only ignores the reality of modern American family life, but also undervalues the familial bonds created in alternatives family arrangements Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one

6 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

A The traditional American family

B The nuclear family

C The current American family

D The ideal family

7 The word "current" in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by which of the following?

8 How many single people were identified in the survey?

A One third of the total surveyed

C One fifth of the total surveyed

D Less than one tenth of the total surveyed

A A single man in his twenties

B An elderly man

C A single woman in her late sixties

D A divorced woman
