VI. Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False
(F).
Many teenagers become stressed when their teachers and parents expect too much from them as
far as school grades. According to the New York Times, when some teenagers study hard for an
exam but receive a poor grade, they feel defeated and hopeless because they know they haven't
only disappointed themselves, but also the people they care about the most.
Teenagers from a dysfunctional home life where abuse or alcoholism are problems can suffer
from extreme stress. Teenagers need to feel safe and cared for at home. When they do not
receive this from their safe place, they may take the stress of home, bring it to school, and act
out.
Getting along with friends or getting into the "in" crowd can be very stressful for teenagers,
according to a recent survey. A teen's social group means everything to some teens. When
arguments happen or a teen feels awkward around peers, it's normal to feel sad or anxious.
Popular teens experience just as much stress. “They” need to keep up a certain image within
their social group. It's hard to make it into the "in" group, but it can be even harder to stay in it.
31. ___T__ Teenagers feel stressed because their teachers and parents expect too much from
them as far as their grades at school.
32. ___T__ Teens feel exhausted when they study hard for an exam but get bad marks.
33. ___T__ Teens from a home life with abuse or alcoholism can suffer from extreme stress.
34. ___F__ When their friends move to another city, it’s normal to feel sad or anxious.
35. ___F__ The word “they” in the passage refers to parents.
