Those people who fear that
three decades of significant
technological (351) breakthr
oughs have produced a
generation
of (352) workshy and
unhelpful Internet addicts will
be (353) uplifted by a survey
showing that some teenagers
are better trained than they
ever were, domestically
speaking. Nearly 60% of
parents said that their
teenagers
were(354) thorough at
looking after themselves,
agreeing with the statement
that ‘My son/daughter can
organise a meal and cook it.’
Those parents with children
aged 14–18, were most likely
to be in agreement with this.
The aim of the survey was
to (355) evaluate the
attitude of parents towards
their teenagers.
About 1,000 parents were
asked if they agreed
with (356) mixed-up views
on typical teenage behaviour
and lifestyles in the early years
of the 21st century. In the
analysis of responses it was
found that, while teenagers
regarded weekends as a time
of (357) unwinding, most
parents considered them a
time for study or
family (358) reunion.
However, the contention that
it’s useful to have a teenager
because of their
seemingly (359) unbearable
ability to know how the TV and
computers work was a point
that almost
everyone (360) subscribes t

The medieval crusades, when
Western European knights and
adventurers attempted to seize
Jerusalem from the hands of
the Seljuk Turks, are widely
(361) misunderstood by
most people in the West, who
think of them as
(362) glamorous and heroic
(363). True, displays of
(364) bravery were
occasionally
(365) impressive but in fact
the crusaders were for the
most part (366) ignorant and
(367) misguided. For
example, they viewed the
Byzantine Emperor, through
whose lands they had to
travel, as an annoying
(368) irrelevance, denying
him even so much as a
(369)consultative role in the
(370) proceedings. In reality,
his long experience of the
Saracens had given him a not
(371)inconsiderable knowled
ge of their ghting methods
and politics. His advice, had
the crusaders chosen to follow
it, would have been absolutely
(372) invaluable. Instead,
they
(373)repeatedly dismissed it
as (374) worthless with the
result that, despite initial
success, the crusaders
eventually dwindled to
(375) ignominious failure.
