Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 16 to 20.

The generation gap refers to the difference in opinions, values, and behaviors between younger and older generations. In modern society, this gap seems to be widening due to the rapid development of technology and shifting cultural norms.

One major source of conflict between teenagers and their parents is technology usage. Today's youth, often referred to as digital natives, have grown up with smartphones, social media, and instant communication. They tend to spend hours online studying, entertaining, or socialising. In contrast, many parents and grandparents view excessive screen time as a waste of time and a threat to face-to-face interaction and mental well-being. This divergence in perspective frequently results in heated arguments about house rules and screen limits.

Another area where generations clash is lifestyle and career expectations. Traditional parents often expect their children to follow well-established paths, such as becoming doctors, engineers, or civil servants, which guarantee job security. Conversely, modern teenagers value personal passions, self-expression, and work-life balance. Many aspire to pursue unconventional careers in digital arts, online content creation, or entrepreneurship.

To bridge this gap, both sides need to practice active listening and mutual respect. Parents should show empathy and try to understand the unique challenges their children face in the digital era. At the same time, young people should recognize that parental advice often stems from love and life experience rather than an intention to control.

Câu 16. What is the main idea of the passage?

Câu 17. According to paragraph 2, parents often worry about teenagers' technology usage because they believe it ______.

Câu 18. The word divergence in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

Câu 19. The word They in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

Câu 20. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

D. AUDIO TRANSCRIPT (NỘI DUNG BÀI NGHE)

Part 1 (Questions 1 – 5):
Hello everyone! I'm Dr. Sarah Evans, a nutritionist. Today, I'd like to share some simple daily habits that can help you live a longer and healthier life. First of all, pay close attention to what you eat. A balanced diet doesn't mean you have to buy expensive superfoods. Instead, you should focus on eating plenty of fresh vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, while cutting down on processed foods and sugary drinks. Second, regular physical activity is key to longevity. You don't need to train like a professional athlete; just spending at least 30 minutes a day walking, cycling, or swimming can greatly improve your heart health and boost your mood. Finally, never underestimate the power of good sleep. Getting 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep every night allows your body to repair itself and strengthens your immune system. Try to turn off your electronic devices an hour before bedtime, as the blue light from screens can negatively affect your sleep quality.

Part 2 (Questions 6 – 10):
- Kevin: Hi Mai, you look a bit upset today. What's wrong?
- Mai: Oh, hi Kevin. I had a big argument with my mom last night. She's always complaining about my clothes and hairstyle. She thinks ripped jeans and dyed hair are inappropriate for a high school student.
- Kevin: I totally understand. My parents are quite traditional too. We often disagree about my future career. They want me to become a doctor or a bank manager for a stable income, but my real passion is graphic design.
- Mai: Really? How do you deal with that? Whenever I try to explain my point of view, my mom just says I'm too young to understand.
- Kevin: Well, I used to get angry, which only made things worse. Now, I try to stay calm and listen to their concerns first. Last week, I showed my dad my design portfolio and explained the job opportunities in the creative industry. He's starting to respect my choice now.
- Mai: That sounds like a great approach. Maybe I should sit down and have an honest talk with my mom after dinner tonight, and promise her that my fashion style won't affect my studies.
