SECTION C: READING COMPREHENSION (10 marks)

"YOUTH PROBLEMS."
Youth is a beautiful time. The faces of young people, the young souls and young love - everything is
beautiful. We can describe all the amazing attractions of this only period in life, which is usually
remembered during all lifetime, but many youngsters say that their life is followed by numerous troubles.
Really, there is no life without problems, but we can't make little account of youth problems. Unfortunately,
most of the problems are connected with family relations.
Moms and dads say that teenage rebels just growing up normal. Their parents said it, just as parents say it
today. "Damn kids these days". This phrase is the fad of the adults of all times. To my mind, each new
generation of kids receives negative reviews because of two entwined social dynamics: surliness and
rebellion in youth; fear and loathing by parents, whose youth has passed them by.
It's called the generation gap, which pits the impertinence of youth against the attitudes of people over 30,
who forget what a pain in the butt they were as kids.
If you look at history, youth has always looked bad from the adult perspective. Sometimes it's because they
don't remember all the stupid, dangerous things they did as kids.
Adults always tend to glorify their own past. It explains the reason why they often look down their noses at
the next generations. Basically, what these critical adults are saying is, "why can't these kids be like us." It is
amazing, but every generation goes through this.
I'm deeply convinced that if some parents are ready to write off the next generation, they should remember
how they behaved as young teenagers and recognize rebellion as a sign of growing up.
But we should admit, there are some dangerous temptations of the youth and only parents can preserve their
children from such social evil as alcohol, smoking and even early sex and killing oneself by using drugs.
For example, the former Soviet Union admitted that it had over 200,000 drug addicts. Because of this the
government opened several special hospitals for these addicts. There's a big anti-drugs campaign in the
country's schools too. Usually drugs come from several places including Western Europe and Afghanistan.
Also, some addicts use glue or steal medical drugs from hospitals.
This problem is closely connected with gang-violence. As well as gangs of punks, rockers and hippies, there
are ultra conservative gangs, too. They want to stop "the dangerous" influence of teenage culture in our
country. But actually they follow the ideas of nationalism and even fascism.
One more acute problem for many young people is smoking. Millions of teenagers know it's bad for them,
but they still do it.
Many people offer their way out. Some of them say that teenagers should not be let to the discos because of
the danger of drugs; others say that young people should be given more money and more freedom, because
everything that is forbidden astonishes.
