II READING
1 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 following questions. (1.0 pt.)
Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision about their children's careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and women? For many children it means starting very young and school work, going out with friends and other interests have to take second place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is, of course, money In many countries money for training is available from the government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, and etc. can all be very expensive.
Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed.
Professional trainers; however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach the top as a successful
sports person. What is clear is that very few people do reach the top and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of corporations from the industrial countries to the Third World

computers, biotechnology and information technology
However, there can be seen weaknesses in the newest of industrial revolutions. The technology is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a big problem. Because of the
loss in jobs, caused largely by this new, technology, there will not be enough people with money to buy all these products

A People will not be able to keep up with technology

C There will be too many products
