Read the passage then choose the correct answer to fill in each blank.
According to a recent study of teenagers, most of them do not do housework just for pocket money. While many do household chores because they see it as a way of getting ready for adult life, others feel they have a to help their parents because it is fair, especially if their parents work.
More than two-thirds of the young people that were surveyed clean floors at least once a week and more than 80% set the table for meals or the washing-up. Girls are more likely than boys to wash their own clothes.
There are, , a few teens who only do the housework because they are made to by their parents. They argue that they should not be expected to help out at home because in their view, their teenage years are a period which should be enjoyed rather than with household responsibilities.

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
PLASTIC AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal, and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the Earth's supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo, and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last for a long time without wearing out and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed. They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.
Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibers (strands of material) for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than thrown them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.
