(20 points)Passage OneA public opinion poll published by The Childrens Society reveals increasing concern about childrens mental health and well being. When asked to rate childrens happiness today compared to when they were growing up, only one in ten respondents felt children nowadays were happier.Adults concerns echo what children themselves have told The Good Childhood Inquiry. In a survey of 8,000 14-16 year olds, carried out by The Childrens Society as part of the inquiry, 27% of young people agreed with the statement I often feel depressed.A number of children submitting evidence commented on the importance of being free from stress, pressure and worry. In some cases they explicitly linked pressure to school, the influence of peers, family expectations. Interestingly when asked what has the most negative impact on childrens well-being generally, adults responding to the poll rated family breakdown and conflict and peer pressure highly.Considering the issue of how to promote better mental health and well being for children, Professor Stephen Scott, Institute of Psychiatry and an inquiry panel member said, Many respondents to the inquiry shared the belief that well being depends on good relationships, especially within the family; on a sense of purpose and on freedom. To achieve this, child mental health and well being must be everybodys business. Support for parents is crucial; schooling has a key part to play; and providing the effective treatments now available for children with mental health problems takes time, skill and resources.There is a growing recognition of the true cost of neglecting childrens mental health and well being. Too often mental health and well being have been dismissed as being of little importance but there is now an understanding that if we want to give children a better childhood these matters must be addressed. We now need to translate this growing concern into action and investment in the necessary support services. 21. What is the purpose of the public opinion poll published by The Childrens Society?A.

This phenomenon is often referred to as the generation gap. What then are the causes of the generation gap? One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their way of life. In more traditional societies, when children grew up, they were expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents knew and agreed to, and to continue the family occupation. In modern society, young people often travel a great distance for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents. In the easily changing 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 strong expectation that parents have on their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in the modern society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people were valued for their wisdom, but in modern society, the lifetime knowledge may become out of date 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 problem of our future life for some time. Its causes are rooted in the changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which the society changes. 26. Which of the following phenomena can be referred to as the generation gap?A.
