Passage 3
I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time. I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn't speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school. On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer. I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing. On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style buildings, and learned some stories there. Finally my efforts paid off. At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.

Passage 4
Most companies expect IT (Information Technology) managers to lead an IT staff of computer technicians. But IT managers can also specialize in other areas. Some managers are also responsible for keeping their company's Internet safety. They protect both their company and their online customers from thieves. Other managers focus more on the business rather than the technical part of computing. They become project managers, helping companies reach as many online customers as possible. Some companies also look for IT managers who can act as trainers. These trainers help a company's computer technicians keep up-to-date on computer skills. Most companies require their IT managers to have both a bachelor's degree and experience in the computer field. Often, companies hire IT managers out of their existing staff of computer technicians. The world will be watching to see just how quickly e-commerce replaces the old ways of doing business. And as computers change the way the world does business, IT managers will be in the middle of it all. Few companies can survive without them.

Passage 5
A few years ago, it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their parents. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society. One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, most leave the family home at an early age, and many choose occupations different from those of their parents. In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and opportunities of our society, and in the rapid pace at which society changes.
62. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
the generation gap suddenly appeared
the generation gap is a feature of American society
how people can reduce the generation gap
many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
63. The word "around" in the first paragraph means ______.
on all sides
in existence
in every direction
near
64. Which one is NOT the cause of the generation gap?
Young people like to choose their own lifestyles
American society is changing very fast
Parents place high hopes on their children
Modern education makes them think differently
65. In American society, young people often ______.
rely on their parents to make a living
stay with their parents in order to get an opportunity for higher education
have very little in common with their parents
seek the best advice from their parents
66. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
Parents should be more tolerable towards their children
The young generation should value the older generation for their wisdom
The generation gap is partly created by the older generation
The generation gap should be avoidable in American society
