The family dynamic evolves as a teen matures, and can test the parent-teen relationship. With both sides feeling mixed emotions, this time can be challenging. Puberty brings lots of emotions for teens, and is a time of readjustment for the whole family. Parents have a huge influence on a young child’s values and interests, and so it can often feel hard for them to separate from their teen, who wants to develop their own identity and to have new freedoms. This may lead to conflict, as both parents and teens need time to figure out how to adapt the relationship. As teens get older, it is important for them to take on responsibilities. This highlights the valuable contribution each family member makes to a home, and teaches teens about what it’s like to be an adult. Setting clear rules about routine and home life helps teens to know what’s expected of them—even if they do complain or resist.

A NEW CAPITAL When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However, it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner. Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be? The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park. Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for education, recreation, and agriculture. Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people.

However there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences of the greenhouse effect. A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world may improve conditions for agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others. However, they do not balance with overall negative impacts. The social, economic and ecological disorders brought about by such climatic changes worldwide are projected to greatly outweigh regional benefits. The impacts of global warming and climate change could become a source of increased tension between nations and regions. While the developed, industrialized world is responsible for 75% of all CO2 emissions, these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of the world. For example, as sea levels rise countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss of valuable and populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have emitted only a tiny fraction of the greenhouse gases. The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Where will these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will seriously worsen the already critical refugee problem in the world. A severe disorder of the world's food supplies through floods, droughts, crop failures and diseases brought about by climate change would lead to famines, wars and civil disorder in many countries. 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Greenhouse effect brings us more benefits than negative impacts. B. Greenhouse effect brings us more negative impacts than benefits. C. Current reports on the greenhouse effect are not accurate. D. Reports should focus on suggestions of positions consequences of the greenhouse effect. 2. Which of the following will suffer most from the impacts of climate change? A. The developed countries B. The developing countries C. The countries with valuable and populated lands D. European or North American countries 3. Why will there be an increased tension between countries? A. The developed countries are a source of disasters upon the underdeveloped countries. B. The developed countries head lots of climate refugees to the underdeveloped countries. C. The developed countries will suffer more than the underdeveloped countries. D. The European or North American countries will lose more valuable and populated lands. 4. The word "tiny" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____. A. large B. small C. much D. considerable 5. According to the passage, climate change will result in all of the following EXCEPT ____. A. coastline disorder B. refugee problem C. famine D. crop failure PASSAGE 6 Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions. Carbon footprint is one of the main contributors to global warming. As mentioned in the media, members of the public are widely advised to reduce their carbon footprint and the specific steps to cut it down can be followed easily. First, carbon dioxide is largely emitted from fossil fuel combustion in transportation, so people can shift away from petro used cars to eco-friendly vehicles running on electricity or clean ethanol. Driving less is another
7. way to lessen a significant amount of exhaust fumes. It’s encouraged to ride electric bikes to work for short distances and take a train or a bus for long journeys.

In addition, it’s wasteful to set your fridge and freezer temperatures lower than necessary, staying between 35° and 38°F to keep fresh food and 0 degrees for freezers. Last but not least, about 268 million tons of trash a year is produced by the U.S. Reducing energy consumption by recycling, therefore, can help slash greenhouse gas emissions substantially. Besides, shoppers should take reusable bags or canvas to the stores and avoid single-use containers. In short, through these simple tips and concerted efforts, this environmental issue is no longer pressing. 1. What is the passage mainly about? A.

A NEW CAPITAL When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However, it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner. Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be? The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park. Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for education, recreation, and agriculture. Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people.

However there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences of the greenhouse effect. A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world may improve conditions for agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others. However, they do not balance with overall negative impacts. The social, economic and ecological disorders brought about by such climatic changes worldwide are projected to greatly outweigh regional benefits. The impacts of global warming and climate change could become a source of increased tension between nations and regions. While the developed, industrialized world is responsible for 75% of all CO2 emissions, these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of the world. For example, as sea levels rise countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss of valuable and populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have emitted only a tiny fraction of the greenhouse gases. The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Where will these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will seriously worsen the already critical refugee problem in the world. A severe disorder of the world's food supplies through floods, droughts, crop failures and diseases brought about by climate change would lead to famines, wars and civil disorder in many countries. 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Greenhouse effect brings us more benefits than negative impacts. B. Greenhouse effect brings us more negative impacts than benefits. C. Current reports on the greenhouse effect are not accurate. D. Reports should focus on suggestions of positions consequences of the greenhouse effect. (chú ý đoạn 2, câu "they do not balance with overall negative impacts") 2. Which of the following will suffer most from the impacts of climate change? A. The developed countries B. The developing countries C. The countries with valuable and populated lands D. European or North American countries (chú ý đoạn 3, câu "these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of the world.") 3. Why will there be an increased tension between countries? A. The developed countries are a source of disasters upon the underdeveloped countries. B. The developed countries head lots of climate refugees to the underdeveloped countries. C. The developed countries will suffer more than the underdeveloped countries. D. The European or North American countries will lose more valuable and populated lands.

As mentioned in the media, members of the public are widely advised to reduce their carbon footprint and the specific steps to cut it down can be followed easily. First, carbon dioxide is largely emitted from fossil fuel combustion in transportation, so people can shift away from petro used cars to eco-friendly vehicles running on electricity or clean ethanol. Driving less is another way to lessen a significant amount of exhaust fumes. It’s encouraged to ride electric bikes to work for short distances and take a train or a bus for long journeys. Second, lowering energy waste at home can make a big difference. Considering household appliances like lights or TVs, when they are not in use, homeowners should switch off them and better to remove their plugs from the sockets to save more energy. According to a report, homeowners can save between $100 and $200 each year by doing so. In addition, it’s wasteful to set your fridge and freezer temperatures lower than necessary, staying between 35° and 38°F to keep fresh food and 0 degrees for freezers. Last but not least, about 268 million tons of trash a year is produced by the U.S. Reducing energy consumption by recycling, therefore, can help slash greenhouse gas emissions substantially. Besides, shoppers should take reusable bags or canvas to the stores and avoid single-use containers. In short, through these simple tips and concerted efforts, this environmental issue is no longer pressing. 1. What is the passage mainly about? A. Easy ways to reduce the negative impacts of global warming. B. Carbon emissions originating from the households. C. Intelligent ways to consume environmentally friendly products. D.
