V. Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question. 
More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the 
evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great 
advantages. 
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be 
useful for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job 
and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep 
a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress 
of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and 
police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school 
students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the 
job market at a later age with no work experience. 
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their 
friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might 
not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When teenagers 
make money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to spend it 
foolishly. 
Question 25. Which of the following is a good title for the passage? 
A. Why teenagers should work 
B. Advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs 
C. Part-time jobs cause stress 
Question 26. According to the passage, what is NOT an effect of part-time jobs? 
A. Teenagers become organized. 
B. Teenagers become stressed. 
C. Teenagers are more likely to have successful careers. 
Question 27. The word “cope with” in the passage is closest in meaning to 
______. 
A. fight against 
B. deal with 
C. suffer from 
Question 28. According to the passage, when teenagers have jobs, they are more 
likely to _______. 
A. spend foolishly 
B. want expensive things 
C. appreciate money 
Question 29. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? 
A. Only some US students do part-time jobs. 
B. US students suffer part-time job stress. 
C. Part-time jobs are somehow good for teenagers. 
VI. Read the following passage. Match the paragraphs with the headings. 
TEENS’ SOURCES OF STRESS 
Question 30. In adolescence, teens experience so many physical and psychological 
changes that they may not know how to deal with. Many boys feel obsessed with 
their voice or appearance. Girls feel annoyed with unwanted spots on their faces. 
_____ 
Question 31. As teens reach adolescence, they have more friends and come in 
contact with many more people. They now have to learn to interact socially and 
they may find it is not easy to adjust in the complicated world or to gain social 
acceptance. ______ 
Question 32. Many teenagers start to have emotional feelings for another boy or 
girl, or feel the need to be loved. If a teen fails to get love from the one he/she likes 
or loves, they may find it is hard to get over the painful experience. ______ 
Question 33. Pressures to do well academically can be a source of stress. If teens 
are academically strong, they can perform well. If not, they suffer from endless 
stress. ______ 
Question 34. Being under pressures of a number of things, teenagers become 
constantly anxious. If they are unlucky to fail in anything, they may fall into the 
feeling of self-doubt and low self-esteem. ______

 It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids a

place.

two-thirds of the students said they had been bullied in more than one way over the

missed school at least once during the school year because of fear of being bullied,
