SECTION B:
Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow.
Passage 1
During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem
to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school.
This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to
understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are
still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions
are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and
future plan but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for
the danger signs: some young people trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol
or smoking. Parents need to watch for any sighs of unusual; behaviour which may be connected
with these and get help if necessary.

1- Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to?

Passage 3
Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland in 1847, but when he was a young man of
twenty-three he moved with his parents to Canada. Before the year was over, young Graham
had left his family and gone to Boston. Though Bell was a dreamer, he was also a practical
thinker and a man of action. In Boston, where he worked by day as a teacher of the deaf, he
worked far into the night experimenting with the electrical transmission of sound. "You can't
make an owl sleep at night," he once wrote in a letter. "The more I explore the wonderful
subject of electricity, the more boundless seem the prospects before me."
Questions
1. When and where was Bell born?

Passage 4
The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made
enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to
eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet
and forty percent of cancers are related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon.
Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is

Passage 6
Among the more than 1.5 million species of living things that have been described and
named, the human species is unique in that its members adapt to the environment primarily by a
complicated form of learned behavior called culture, which is transmitted from generation to
generation by the symbol system of language. For all practical purposes, geographic variation in
our species is now irrelevant because people adapt to the environment primarily by means of
behavior, whose biological basis is in the brain and is not reflected in superficial differences in
body surfaces. When they first evolved, people who had dark-colored skin were better adapted to
climatic conditions near the equator than those who had light-colored skins, but few human
beings now live under natural conditions. Also, technological advances have assured that at the
present time, human beings of various races are as likely to reproduce in one environment as in
another. The superficial differences between existing human races are thus largely relics of the
past and are not of much functional significance today.

To be successful, a business traveler must be able to maintain contact with the office, no matter

telecommunications products and services now on the market make staying in touch easier than
ever before.
The most widespread device is the cellular telephone, the price of which has dropped from
several thousand dollars to a few hundred, including installation. There are over two million
mobile cellular phones in use today, including both car phones and cordless transportable units.
Car phones have proven indispensable for road emergencies as well as routine business
transactions. Phone service is also available on airplanes and on the rails.

track of clients. These are tiny computers that can store all kinds of information. They can serve
