Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate 
thecorrect answer to each of the questions. 
 In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been halved 
since the 1960s. Today, 41 percent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared with 25 percent 
in 1985. Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also 
good for their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men who let their wives do all the 
nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive and daughters who are more likely to 
do well in school - especially in math and science. 
 In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four percent of the population 
was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 percent of the 
U.S. population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults must plan for the needs of 
both their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable grace. One in four 
households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are less likely to be 
impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past, and have more opportunity to develop a 
relationship with their grandchildren. 
 Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce rates 
are likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for both adults 
and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained. And many families are 
doing this. More non-custodial parents are staying in touch with their children. Child-support receipts are 
rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced families are exhibiting problems than in earlier 
decades. And stepfamilies are learning to maximize children's access to supportive adults rather than 
cutting them off from one side of the family.
Question 30: Which of the following can be the most suitable heading for paragraph 1?
A.Men's involvement at home B.Benefits of men's involvement at home 
C. Drawbacks of men's involvement at home D. Children studying math and science
Question 31: Nowadays, ____ of men help take care of children. 
A. 50% B. 41%C. 25% D. 20% 
Question 32: Which of the following is NOT true about divorce rates in the USA?
A.They will still be high. 
B. They can cause problems for both parents and children. 
C. More problems are caused by children from divorced families.
D. Children are encouraged to meet their separate parents. 
Question 33: The word "equivalent” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. comparable B. opposed C. dissimilar D. contrasting 
Question 34: The word “this” in the paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A. getting divorced B. minimizing conflict C. causing problems to kids D. maintaining bonds
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate 
thecorrect answer to each of the questions. 
 One of the factors contributing to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress is our continual 
exposure to media – particularly to an overabundance of news. If you feel stressed out by the news, you 
are far from alone. Yet somehow many of us seem unable to prevent ourselves from turning into an 
extreme degree. 
 The further back we go in human history, the longer news took to travel from place to place, and the 
less news we had of distant people and lands altogether. The printing press obviously changed all that, as 
did every subsequent development in transportation and telecommunication.
 When television came along, it proliferated like a population of rabbits. In 1950, there were 100,000 
television sets in North American homes; one year later there were more than a million. Today, it’s not 
unusual for a home to have three or more television sets, each with cable access to perhaps over a 
hundred channels. News is the subject of many of those channels, and on several of them it runs 24 hours 
a day. 
 What’s more, after the traumatic events of September 11, 2001, live newscasts were paired with 
perennial text crawls across the bottom of the screen – so that viewers could stay abreast of every story 
all the time. 
 Needless to say, the news that is reported to us is not good news, but rather disturbing images and 
sound bytes alluding to disaster (natural and man-made), upheaval, crime, scandal, war, and the like. 
Compounding the problem is that when actual breaking news is scarce, most broadcasts fill in with scare 
stories about things that possibly might threaten our health, safety, finances, relationships, waistline, 
hairline, or very existence in the future. This variety of story tends to treat with equal alarm a potentially 
lethal flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream that over- promises smooth skin.
 Are humans meant to be able to process so much trauma – not to mention so much overblown 
anticipation of potential trauma – at once? The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into alarm 
mode when danger looms. Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment. Exposing ourselves 
to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a source of chronic 
stress. Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following has contributed to the intense nature of 
twenty-first-century stress? 
A.The degree to which stress affects our life B. Our inability to control ourselves
C. An overabundance of special news D. Our continual exposure to the media

Question 37: The pronoun “them” in paragraph 3 refers to _________________. 
A. cable access B. TV news C. television sets D. TV channels
Question 38: The word “traumatic” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. upsetting B. fascinating C. exciting D. boring
Question 39: As stated in the passage, a flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream tend 
to______. 
A. involve natural and man-made disasters B. be scarce breaking news 
C. be treated with equal alarm D. be warmly welcomed by the public 
Question 40: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? 
A. Many people are under stress caused by the media. 
B. Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news. 
C. The only source of stress in our modern life is the media. 
D. The news that is reported to us is not good news.

A. fall B. bring C. release D. fail
