A. handbook for parents 	B. school timetable

B. Because teenagers don't want to talk to other people.
C. Because teenagers think adults are not honest. 
D. Because most teenagers hate adults.
3. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual?
	A. When people talk to them because of their real interest and not just checking on them. 
B. When adults give them a lot of money to spend.
C. When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school.
D. When adults talk to them about sex, alcohol and drugs.
4. Some teenagers experiment with drinking or smoking because 
A. cigarettes and alcohol are available everywhere.
B. cigarettes and alcohol are cheap.
