Task 1
Read the text and do the tasks below.
Parents and
teens at peace
Most young people say their
home lives are carefree, according to a new survey
Тhe evidence may not be obvious in some households. But four out of
five young people in Britain now get on with their parents, contradicting the
popular image of angry teenagers locked in their room after endless family
rows.
A new study into teenage
attitudes reveals that their family life is more harmonious than ever before:
more than half of 13 to 18-year-olds get on with their brothers and sisters;
and one in three has not argued with parents during the past 12 months. 85% of
13 to 18-year-olds agree with the statement ‘I’m happy with my family life'. A
majority said their lives were 'happy', 'fun' and 'carefree'. Only one in 10
said they had a very poor relationship with their parents. However some
arguments do still occur. The most common family flashpoints are 'tidying up'
and 'household chores'.
'We were struck by just how
positive today's young people seem to be about their families,' said Nick Rand
of the Future Foundation. They're expected to be rebellious, but actually they
want a car and material goods and worry about whether their school is serving
them well. There's more discussion and negotiation between parents and children
and a greater expectation of children's right to participate in the family
decision-making process. This generation of parents is much more likely than 30
years ago to treat their children as "friends".' 'My parents are
happy to discuss things with me and make compromises,' says 17-year-old Daniel
Lazell from Billericay. They know I go to the pub or which girl I'm going out
with. As long as they know what I'm doing they're fine. I'm happy with family
life. When we sit down to dinner in the evening we all chat.' Relaxation of
controls on young people is reflected throughout society. In the 1960s
newspapers were scandalised when Prince Charles, then a schoolboy, ordered a
cherry brandy in a pub. Forty years later Prince Harry had to confess to drug
use to generate a similar level of anxiety.
Psychologist Oliver James comments: 'Our surprise that teenagers
say they get on well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our
history when they were identified as different beings. The idea of teenagers
rebelling and breaking away from their parents is a very 1960s thing.'
Are the following sentences true (T) or false (F)?
1. Most teenagers in the survey had not argued with their
parents during the past year.
2. Parents and teenagers continue to have disagreements about
doing jobs at home.
3. Young people are less materialistic than they used to be.
4. Nowadays there is more equality in the relationship between
parents and children.
5. What Prince Charles did in the 1960s would not be a scandal
in Britain now.
6. According to Oliver James, teenagers have always rebelled
against their parents.
Fill in the following percentages with reference to teenagers.
10% - 15% - 33% - over 50% - 80%
7…..get on with their parents.
8.___get on with their brothers and sisters.
9.___get on very badly with their parents.
10.___have not argued with their parents for a year.
11.___are not happy with their family life.

Task 2
Read the text. Six sentences have been removed from the article.
Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (8-13). There is one
extra sentence which you do not need to use.
The
most famous schools in Britain are private boarding schools, such as Eton
College, Harrow School, Rugby School, and Winchester School. These famous
private schools, founded during the Middle Ages, are theoretically open to the
public, but in reality are attended by those _______1________.
Many
of Britain’s leaders have attended these private schools, which cater to the
wealthy and influential _______2________. A variety of other schools are
also private, including kindergartens, day schools, and newer boarding schools.
Private schools that take pupils from the age of 7 to the age of 11. 12, or 13
are called preparatory schools. Private schools that take older pupils from the
age of 11, 12, or 13 to 18 or 19 are often referred to as public schools. Only 7
percent of British students attend those schools.
In
England, Wales, and Northern Ireland the education systems are similar. The
majority of the students attend schools ________3______.
These include state schools, voluntary schools, and self-governing or
grant-maintained (GM) schools that receive funds directly from the government
rather than local authorities.
At
the age of sixteen, _______4________ students are tested in various
subjects to earn a General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). They
should take Advanced Level examinations, commonly known as “A" Levels
________5_______.
Scotland
has comparable qualifications. About a third of British students leave school
as soon as possible after turning 16, usually taking lower-level jobs in the
workforce.
Those
_______6_______ may pursue either further education or higher education.
Further education is largely vocational. Students may also stay in school until
age 18 to prepare for higher education.
A. who stay in school past
the age of 16
B. if they wish to go on to
higher education at a university
C. which are called
comprehensive schools
D. who can afford the fees
E. prior to leaving school

G.
Which is an idea being
explored by NASA
Will we all
have to leave home?
(Brian Clark takes a look at what the
future holds for mankind)
The idea that human beings will eventually colonise space has been
at the heart of science fiction 1____ . Lovers of this type of fiction have
always been captivated by the idea of travelling through space and discovering
the perfect unspoilt planet to colonise and create the ideal existence for
humanity, the idea has never been taken but seriously - until now.
Professor Stephen Hawking has recently argued that, if the human
species is to survive, then we should start planning for the ultimate move. He
fears that life on Earth is facing an increasing risk of being wiped out by a
disaster such as sudden global warming or a genetically engineered virus. It is
a prospect that hardly bears thinking about.
Other experts have echoed Hawking's beliefs, 2____. They point out that we are rapidly
exhausting the Earth's resources while the population continues to grow. Within
one hundred years or so, if present trends continue, they predict that our
planet will have been reduced to a barren wasteland. With nothing left in the
larder, we shall all have to leave home, and there will be no return.
However, just how realistic is such a move? Given the known laws
of the universe, travelling to a planet capable of supporting human life
remains an impossibility. Even the journey to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star
beyond our sun, would take about 100,000 years,3____.
To make matters worse, no planets matching the conditions required
for human survival have been identified orbiting our nearest neighbour. To find
such a planet we will have to go even farther afield. One possible candidate
has been discovered circling a star 15 light-years away. Unfortunately, it
would take more than 300,000 years to get there, and there are no guarantees
that it can support life as we know it.
Cleary then, unless scientists come up with a for us way to travel
faster than the speed of light, we shall have to look for alternative
solutions. One idea, first proposed by scientist Gerald O'Neill in the 1970s,
would be to construct gigantc aluminum tubes 4_____.
This seems an unlikely option. The only space station to have been built so
far, at enormous cost, can support only six people at a time, and they require
supplies from Earth.
A more realistic possibility is to build a permanent base on the
moon, perhaps as a stepping stone for voyages to other planets, 5____. Unfortunately, it would be difficult
to sustain life on an airless, lifeless rock. Specialists also note that bones
and muscles would, in the long term, waste away in the low gravity.
There is no doubt that our planet is struggling under the burden
of humanity. Some experts claim that we are living on borrowed time already, 6____. However, that does not mean
that we should just wring our hands in despair. History shows that man has an
incredible capacity to adapt and survive. It is worth remembering that only a
few years ago things that we now take for granted, such as instant
communications through the Internet, would have seemed impossible. Perhaps we
shall soon see the dreams of science-fiction writers become reality after all.
