Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises: that they talk too much about certain problems-and that they have no sense o humor, at least parent-child relationships.

Furthermore， the average winter temperature has increased by 8℉. Presently， an estimated 24 cubic miles of ice is disappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year.
