Mandy Naylor writes an e-mail about her progress so far working as a social worker in Kazakhstan:

As for work—we have just come back from the cold North of Kazakhstan from a conference and I will go back next year to lecture with my counterparts and hopefully, parents and disabled children, on the new social work course that we are busy developing.

[单项选择] Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example is a bit oversimplified. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other ’ example. Therefore we must turn to a more subtle theory than "Monkey see, monkey do".
Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When
A. who do not criticize them
B. who bring them unexpected rewards
C. whom they want to be like
D. whose social status is high

[单项选择] Questions 57 to 61 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 misunderstandings 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 crisis, that they talk too much about certain problems — and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, it turns out that their music or ente
