In the end we gave in. “All right,” we said, “but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbors when you play.” That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport, the other members of Jack’s band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical instruments. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing. At least Jack’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practicing, my husband and I go for a long walk. And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill – after all I didn’t expect my parents’ generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager. Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet.

The neighbors don’t mind the noise. C. Jack’s parents enjoy listening to them. D. They can leave their equipment there. 79. What does the writer say about the band members? A. Their influence on her son worries her. B. Their taste in music is different from hers. C. They play their instruments well. D. They avoid any contact with her. 80. What might the writer say to her son? A. Your teacher has just phoned. He wants to know why you weren’t at school today. B. When are you playing at the club next? Dad and I would love to come along again. C. If you don’t know what to do with yourself, there’s a good program on the television in a few minutes. D. Are you sure you’ve finished your homework?
