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.
Modern technologies have changed the way that people communicate with one another. These
technologies provide new and innovative ways for people to communicate - text messaging, email, chat and
social networks. They allow faster and more efficient communication and can help build relationships.
However, modern technologies can also have negative effects such as limiting personal contact and straining
relationships. The nature of the effect depends in large part on the type of relationship.
Modern technologies limit the amount of separation between work and home. With the advent of
computers, the Internet and cell phones people can - and are often expected to - address work issues from
home. This can limit family interactions and cause conflict between family members. The use of Internet and
television by children and teenagers also limits the amount time spent with family and can increase conflict
between children and their parents.
Young people use modern technologies in increasing numbers to communicate with their friends. Text
messaging and online chats have become the preferred method of youth communication. A California State
University and UCLA study indicates that for young people face-to-face interactions are less desirable than
modern modes of communication. This preference could cause an inability to form lasting friendships or
difficulty understanding social cues. Others believe that modern technologies increase communication and
therefore strengthen friendships.
Starting new relationships - romantic and otherwise - can be difficult. Modern technologies allow people
to make new connections without the fears characteristic of face-to-face contact. The anonymity and low risk
are what makes Internet dating and social networks popular ways of meeting people. However, this anonymity
can also be dangerous. In April 2011, a woman sued an online dating site after allegedly being raped by a man
she met online.
Modern technologies allow couples to be in contact with each other more than ever before. This can
lead to increased expectations and conflict. With the increasing use of cell phones and email, people often
expect an instant reply to communication. A delayed reply - or none at all - can lead to suspicion and anger.
The use of social networks can also affect relationships. Information that was once private - such as
relationship conflicts - is now part of the public sphere.
(Adapted from https://oureverydaylife.com/)
Question 34: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The advantages and disadvantages of social networks on communication
B. The positive and negative effects of modern technologies on communication
C. The differences between the way people communicate in the past and now
D. How people’s relationships have to change to keep up with the development of modern
technologies
Question 35: The word “They” in the first paragraph refers to ______.
A. Emails B. Relationships C. Social networks D. Modern technologies

7
Question 36: According to paragraph 2, why do modern technologies cause conflict between family
members?
A. Because people often take advantage of these technologies to work from home.
B. Since parents spend so much time on TV and the Internet that they can’t take care of their children.
C. As the pressure of work in modern time is too heavy for parents to solve at the workplace.
D. Because people prefer spending time on the Internet to talking with each other.
