SECTION B: Read the passage and then choose the best answer for each question.(10pts.)

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. 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 son or daughter 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 in trying to be

adult may experiment with'drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behavior which

may be connected with these and get help if necessary.
