Official data shows that the unemployment rate for workers aged 15-29 was 7.6% in the first quarter of this year.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

1. To find different opinions, I just need to look at my own family. My family has members with very different views, which often leads to interesting talks and sometimes disagreements during family gatherings. Although these disagreements may seem small, they can last for hours.

2. A funny difference between them is their music tastes. My brother loves soulful music and studies Jazz at the University of North Texas. In contrast, my father listens to “muzak” and has no musical talent. This creates problems during long car trips, where some family members want to listen to Mantovani, while others prefer different music. They usually compromise by listening to Mantovani first because my father owns the car.

3. Their differences also show in their hairstyles. My brother has long hair, while my father prefers short hair, which reflects their different upbringings. My father grew up in a conservative town where men had short hair, while my brother grew up in a more liberal time.

4. Despite their disagreements, my brother and father get along well. They are open-minded and appreciate each other's differences. They both enjoy fishing and working on cars, and they like to discuss topics where they have different views. If everyone were the same, life would be dull. Our long car rides would be much less fun without their friendly arguments about music.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how children learn and communicate, bringing advantages and challenges. As AI continues to develop, it is essential to use it wisely to ensure it helps young minds without causing harm.

2. One of the main benefits of AI in education is that it personalizes learning. AI tools can assess a child's strengths and weaknesses and offer exercises tailored to improve specific skills. For instance, adaptive learning platforms and interactive educational games make lessons more engaging. These tools allow students to experience history firsthand or conduct virtual science experiments, making learning much more exciting. Additionally, AI improves accessibility for children with disabilities. Speech recognition and text-to-speech tools help these children engage with educational content. AI can also translate material for non-native speakers, ensuring all children have equal learning opportunities. Moreover, AI-driven smart toys and robots can aid social and emotional development. For example, these tools can create a comfortable environment for children with autism to practice social skills without the stress of real-life interactions.

3. However, there are concerns about excessive AI use, especially regarding screen time. While AI apps and games support education, over-dependence on technology can reduce creativity and critical thinking. AI companions might replace human interaction, leading to social isolation and challenges in building real relationships. There is also the risk of AI chatbots engaging in inappropriate conversations with children. Social media platforms that use AI algorithms can expose children to harmful content, which can lead them down dangerous paths.

4. Therefore, parents, educators, and policymakers should set boundaries to limit screen time and encourage face-to-face interactions.
