II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
Is the generation gap in America no longer a severe problem as it used to be? Dating back to the
1960s when teenagers tended to lash out the values and goals of their parents as well as rebel
against the authority figures, the incendiary conflicts between older and younger generations
increased sharply. It’s because teenagers' world wasn’t any longer limited in a narrow society
that wasn’t mobile, and instead of going to church every weekend, they were exposed to various
forms of social media like television and radios. They got access to huge sources of new ideas,
which liberated them from old-fashioned and boring lifestyles whereas many older people were
conservative and didn’t accept differences disturbing their normal life. Over time, however, the
tension between generations has been alleviated due to the improved mutual understanding of
baby boomers, Millennials and even Zillennials in many fields of life. According to recent
research, the largest generational discrepancies between young and old in the United States are
the use of technology and taste in music. Nevertheless, in terms of technological use, many older
people gradually learn how to use a laptop or smartphone to surf the Internet from their children
and especially their grandchildren due to their recognition of huge technological benefits.
Regarding the musical differences, unlike in the past, older generations nowadays appear to give
fewer critical remarks on what type of music teens should listen to and begin to accept the variety
of music tastes when living under the same roofs.
