Read, translate this passage and choose the best answer for the question below.
Today’s Youth
…And one of the most important factors is that the children of today differ from previous generations, and differ a lot. They grow up quicker – physically and mentally. They sometimes lack knowledge, but they know what they want in this life. They are personalities even at the age of 14-15. Unfortunately some grown-ups don’t understand this and try to show teens “the right way of life”. It’s stupid for children don’t want to listen to them; very often grown-ups loose contact with teens.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A the children of today differ a lot from previous generation
B very often grown-ups loose contact with teens because the young are personalities even at the age 14-15
