Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 9 to 15.

All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent report by the housing group, Shelter. Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the "cardboard city" in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organizations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board up to ten weeks.

But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but "throwaways" - people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.

Take the case of one six teen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics homework. It turned out that her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason than she wanted to do Science Advanced Level Exams - which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that studying sciences was unladylike!

Shelter says that the government's laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of cheap housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left home for a good reason.

Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can't get a job because employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can't get a job, you are homeless because you don't have any money to pay for accommodation. It's an impossible situation.

Chuseok is one of the most important festivals in Korean calendar. It takes place in the eighth month of the lunar calendar (in either September or October), on the night of the full moon. Chuseok is a time for family reunions and for people to honour and give thanks to their ancestors. It is also meant to celebrate nature and the large harvest that it has given them.

At the family home, the day before Chuseok is spent cleaning the home and preparing food for ceremonies and family dinners. Women make songpyeon – moon-shaped rice cakes with a sweet filling – using new rice from the recent harvest. It is said that the woman who makes the most beautiful songpyeon will find a good-looking husband or give birth to a beautiful daughter. The songpyeon can take days to make, but now people can buy them easily in stores. The next day is Chuseok. People make an effort to dress nicely and wear traditional costume like the hanbok, although this is more common among the older women. In the morning, food is placed on a special table dedicated to their ancestors, and families pay a visit to their graves. Later, traditional games like yut nori (a game of throwing sticks) and hwa-tu (a card game) are played. At night, the whole family goes outdoors under the full moon, and everyone eats and drinks until late. The third day is usually spent traveling back home and preparing to return to work or school. Like Thanksgiving and Lunar New Year, Chuseok is a time for families to reconnect with past traditions, as well as spend time with each other.
