THE GENERATION GAP IN MY FAMILY
The members of my family have a wide range of opinions. My father and my brother Jack are two members of my family who are totally different.
My brother is artistic and creative while my father focuses on facts and technical details. One of the more humorous differences between them is their taste in music. My father loves listening to classical music, but my brother prefers EDM. Also, my brother bought many CDs to support his favorite band, and this made my father disappointed. My father told my mother that Jack shouldn't have spent a lot of money on those useless things.
Another difference is that my brother is studying Visual Arts at university, but my dad was really angry when he found out about that. He said Jack should have studied business or marketing. My father said that learning arts couldn't help my brother to earn money. They didn't talk to each other for two years after my brother started his university studies. However, we are a loving family now.
My father has become more understanding, and he regretted not being a good father. He said that he should have listened and encouraged Jack to do what he liked. My brother also said sorry. He said that he should have respected our father's opinions. It is amazing because my father and my brother are best friends now.
Next week, we are going to Hawaii for our summer vacation, and I am really excited. We planned to take the trip in 2019, but it was canceled because my father and Jack did not talk to each other. However, everything is alright now, and I hope when something wrong happens in the future, our family can respect and listen to each other to find good solutions.

Apart from regular exercise, the food we put in our bodies can have both instant and life-long effects on our health, and too much of everything is also bad. Leftover food may create stress because it can hurt our stomach badly. Too much salt, sugar, fat and pepper also makes us less calm. Overconsumption of some kinds of foods, such as onion, garlic, tea, coffee, tobacco, soda, alcohol, chocolate, sour apples, pickles and refined sugars encourages aggression, and consumers tend to have more worries than happiness. More importantly, the relationship between food and stress is about what or how much we eat and how the food is eaten. For example, stress is probably created when we eat food in a great hurry or when we are angry. The way the food is served is also a matter of importance. Not only does the presentation of the dish play a role but the love and affection with which the food is provided are also essential. It is considered a bad habit to give too many negative comments on the food that we are eating. It is better not to eat the dish we do not like than look for something wrong in it.
Bear in mind that we should maintain regular eating habits. Workaholics who do not arrange a time to eat food at proper meal time may suffer from serious stomachache. One must try to enjoy their food, so frequently eating business lunches or dinners is not a really good idea. Every bite of food should be enjoyed with relaxation. Food and discussions should not be mixed. There are accepted ways to charge our daily food. Prayer could be the best method for energizing the food, and it usually has a useful effect.

Read the text and choose the correct answer.
In a big family, different generations generally think and behave differently. Teenagers' experiences are not the same as their parents'. For instance, teens are really keen on technology which is a bit strange and even harmful from their parents' viewpoint. Those common differences are examples of generation gap that lots of families have to deal with. To bridge the gap, parents should keep in mind these rules.
First, communication matters the most. Teenagers usually avoid serious talks, so parents should start with friendly chit chat about their hobbies and friends. The more often parents chat with their kids, the easier it gets. From small topics, parents can move to big topics like the problems that teenagers are dealing with. For example, parents can ask "What problems are you often stressed about?" and then listen to their kids with interest, not annoyance. It's important to understand and help the teens with their problems.
Second, going out with teens is a good way to find out about their world. Parents should let the kids choose where to go and what to do. Once they feel comfortable and relaxed, they will help their parents stay up-to-date with the latest trends in entertainment, sports, fashion and technology. It's a bad idea that parents compare their childhood with their kids' because today's world is completely different from that of 1970's and 1980's. With the quick development of the Internet, life is no longer a piece of cake.
Finally, teens always need some privacy and time to grow up. It's not wise to set too many strict rules without respecting the children's rights at home. Parents need to teach their kids how to do things independently by setting a good example.
Generation gap is truly a huge obstacle these days. If parents try hard to have good communication, spend quality time and respect their children's rights, the generation gap can be overcome with time.
31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Parents refuse to understand today's technology.
B. There are differences between older and younger generations.
C. It's not possible to close the generation gap.
D. Teenagers don't want to get closer to their parents.
33. What does the writer say about the generation gap?
A. It affects relationships beyond the teenage years.
B. It also exists between parents and grandparents.
C. It is common in many families.
D. It cannot explain most family arguments.
34. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Teens are more comfortable with technology than their parents.
B. Parents talking about their teenage time can be helpful.
C. Talking together becomes easier with practice.
D. Parents should try to find out what is popular with teens.
35. Which word is CLOSEST in meaning to "a piece of cake" in the third paragraph?
A. amusing B. wonderful C. entertaining D. simple
36. What can be inferred from the text?
A. It takes time and efforts to solve the generation problems.
B. Good relationships now lead to good relationships in the future.
C. All teenagers face the same problems with their parents.
D. Teenagers depend on their parents too much these days.
