Read the text about generation gaps and circle the best answer A, B, C, or D for each of
the following questions.
The generation gap refers to the differences between the young and the old and can
lead to conflicts between the two. Generation gaps occur when two age groups have
different views towards life. The old generation always wonders what has gone wrong
with the new generation. They feel that during their time, young boys and girls were
better-behaved, more obedient and had more respect for elders. Young people, on the
other hand, feel that they are able to learn on their own. They also don't need to rely on
the older generation for advice.
We can solve generation gap issues through more discussion and interaction. Older
people should admit to the ability of the young, whereas youngsters should express their
opinions respectfully. Therefore, people from both age groups should realize that every
individual has positive and negative characters, as well as some limitations.

Read the text about Adele and answer the questions that follow. Circle the best answer
A, B, C, or D for each of the following questions.
Adele has been one of the world's most well-known singers and songwriters in
recent years. Born in North London in 1988, Adele started singing at a young age and
she was mostly influenced by the Spice Girls. At the age of 16, Adele composed her first
hit song, "Hometown Glory".
When she was a student at the British School for Performing Arts and Technology,
she recorded three songs for a class project. All these songs later were posted on
MySpace.com and became very popular. As a result, she was offered a record deal from
XL Recordings after her graduation. Her first album "19" debuted at number one on the
British charts in 2008.
In March 2008, she did a short tour in America and soon her international career
began. In 2011, her second album, "21", came out. The music on this album was
different from the soul music of "19". It was influenced by American country music,
which Adele was listening to during her tour. In 2012, she wrote and recorded "Skyfall"
for the James Bond film of the same name. The song sold more than two million copies
worldwide and for it Adele won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Since
2012, Adele has won many more awards. She has many fans including other famous
singers because they admire her unique voice and her passion for music.
