Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.

Family life has been changing across some Southeast Asian countries over the past few decades. Many years ago, most of teenagers lived with their families, spending several hours at school and the rest of time at home enjoying family atmosphere. Besides their studying, adolescents could do some housework like doing the dishes, cooking, taking care of younger children or supporting their family business. These days, studying takes up such a lot of time that they cannot help much with household chores and sometimes they even hardly have time to relax. This can lead to suffering worse health and losing the bond with their family. In families with higher income, parents are often so busy with their work that they send their children to private boarding schools, and the time these students share with families is shortened more and more. In many cases, high-schoolers meet their siblings and parents at weekends only. It’s believed that there are some advantages to live and study in academic places, but other benefits that schools are unlikely to provide should be taken into consideration. For example, these young learners can learn a lot from their parents about social skills and doing domestic chores. On one hand, some people think that teenage students prefer to have privacy than to be controlled by adults, which may be true. On the other hand, nothing can compare or replace the parents’ affection in terms of nurturing their children’s souls and their behaviours. Changes often bring positive results but how people consider what is important to maintain and preserve is worth thinking again.

What is the passage mainly about?

What does the word ‘this’ in line 10 mean?

Long time ago young learners could help their parents with ___________.

What are the benefits of family education?

What is the most important thing in terms of raising a child?

Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, is a small island in the Pacific Ocean. This little island is famous for some very old and very large statues. These statues, called moai, are hundreds of years old. They are enormous. The largest is 33 feet tall and weighs 80 tons. Even the smallest statue is big-it's 4 feet tall.

About a thousand years ago, people sailed from Polynesia to Rapa Nui. They settled on the island and made the statues from volcanic rock. They made eyes from white coral and used a black or red stone for the pupil. Some statues have headpieces, which could be hair or hats, made from red volcanic rock.

Researchers say the statues probably honor the ancestors of the Polynesian settlers. Rapanui legend says the statues have their ancestors' spirits inside them. There are many different ideas about how the statues came to be standing up.

The statues are located all over the island, usually close to the water. The rock used to make the statues came from miles away from where they stand. How did people move huge, heavy statues hundreds of years ago? Rapanul legend says they walked, and that the spirits of powerful ancestors inside the statues made it happen.

Researchers have different ideas about how the statues moved. Some think that people rolled the statues using cut wood. Other researchers think that people pulled and rolled the statues onto their rounded front sides. In fact, research teams have tried to recreate moving artificial statues to test their ideas. They were able to move the statues, but they were exhausted from the hard work.
