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 questions from 31 to 35.
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force that it
was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of Americans see
major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a
smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive. That is
partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according to the Pew
Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed these differences
in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold. First,
the two largest areas of difference - technology and music - are less emotionally charged than political issues. The older
generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to view it as a problem. As
for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to
that desire. Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation—clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone over
thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work ethic and
respect for others.

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 questions from 36 to 42.
Times are tough. The nightly news is filled with stories of people who have lost their jobs due to the economic
crisis, or lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster. Have you ever seen people who have just endured an awful
situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But other people focus on what they did not
lose, and they start thinking about a better future.
One good piece of advice to remember is that you cannot always control situations or other people. The only
thing you can control is your own personal reaction to bad situations. Sometimes a situation may really be
overwhelming. However, in many cases, you really can influence our own moods by the way you think about negative
situations.
Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One family
cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They cannot imagine how they will
ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life seems to have been completely lost. In contrast, a
second family is crying with joy. All of the people in their family are unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that
everyone has survived. This family is already trying to figure out how they can recover. You can’t really blame the first
family for experiencing a very normal reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems to be
better off. They are thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events.
Though this scenario is extreme, everyone experiences setbacks that seem just awful at the time. This could be a
job loss, illness, or problems with family members. Nobody gets through life without having some bad things happen. In
these situations, try to focus on the steps you can take to remedy the situation, instead of how awful the setback is. By
doing this, you will be laying the foundation for a better tomorrow. And you will not suffer as much pain today.
Actually, controlling how you feel and trying to maintain a positive attitude can help you through many tough
situations. The bottom line is, no matter what the problem is, you are more likely to fix it if you can stay positive and
work out a plan. Also, never be afraid to seek help when you need it. The advice of a friend, family member, or even a
professional may be all it takes to get back on track.
It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can certainly give
you an advantage in surviving most of life’s minor setbacks.
