Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits
couldn’t be more different.
Sheila, aged 59, says, ‘I join to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of
them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post.
Ironically, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are
leaving it – only 2.2 million users are under 17 – but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even
sleeps with her phone. ‘It’s my alarm clock so I have to,’ she says. ‘I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake
up.’
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that
they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old
friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. ‘We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,’ she
says, ‘It’s changed my social life completely.’
Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. ‘I was always
connected and I felt like I was always working,’ he says. ‘How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in
front of a screen myself?’ So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it
into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. ‘I’m not completely cut off from the
world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I’m setting a better example to my kids and spending more
quality time with them.
26. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Digital Devices in Education B. Digital Habits of Parents
C. Digital Devices in Teenagers’ Study D. Digital Habits across Generations

Family meals are an important part of living with a family. A recent survey showed that most American children and
teenagers share a meal with their family at least four times a week. This is a very positive sign. This is because there are
many benefits for families that dine together.
First, sharing a meal together can help a family stick together. It helps to reinforce each family member’s sense of
belonging. Family meals can teach younger people about their culture by eating traditional foods. Family members can
also relax together during this time and enjoy each other’s company. Routine socializing helps family members learn
patience and respect for each other.
Family meals also play an important part in child development. Parents can keep an eye on their children’s moods
and emotions at this time. They can discuss problems. Studies show that eating together helps to reduce the risk that a
child will smoke, get into fights, or commit suicide. Children who eat with their families are more likely to earn high grades
and make more friends than those who do not eat family meals.
Through family meals, parents can also ensure that their children are eating healthy food. Children who eat together
with their families are less likely to become obese. Families who dine together tend to eat more fruit and vegetables.
These families also don’t eat at fast food restaurants as often as families that do not eat a shared meal.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need of reform. Private
schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that
children who would grow up to be laborers should not "waste" their time on education but should instead prepare
themselves for their life's work. It was in the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task.
Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be
uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various
changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He extended the school year from five to
six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although
these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public
awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.
