Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY

            One of the more difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of funds. During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away. For example, traveling to Australia from Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.

            For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-known for offering them. When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money.

            Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people are unlikely to have, such as being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn’t discourage you, though, because there is always something to be found if you search hard enough.

            There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket you were looking for.

      1.   Where can people find working holidays advertised?

            A. On the Internet                                        B. In magazines

            C. On the radio                                             D. In travel guidebooks

      2.   What can seem out of reach for young people?

            A. Being able to get time off from schoolB. Being able to earn money

      3.   Why would a student NOT want to take a working holiday?

            A. To show how fearful he is                      B. To earn money

            C. To see the world                                      D. To visit a new place

      4.   Which students are in luck according to the passage?

            A. The ones who have airline tickets

            B. The ones who are on holiday

            C. Some working holidays are not paid.

VIII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each question.

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems - and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.

I think it is true that parents often, underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.

Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.

Sometimes you are resistant and proud, because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parent's control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.

If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You cancharm others, especially your parents, into doing things the! ways you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
