questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark
the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the
centre.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
I’m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either
happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago.
While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove
scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are
significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed,
normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who
were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America’s kids so stressed?
