Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
There has always been a problem with teachers being from a different generation to their pupils, particularly older educators. But the dominance of digital technology has spread that generation gap even wider, as young people become conversant with mobile digital devices, games and social media that didn't exist when their teachers were growing up. Teachers now face pupils using devices and online systems that they don't use themselves, and don't really understand either. The generation gap is more prevalent than ever, but teachers can bridge that gap if they receive the right guidance with appropriate technology.
Some schools and teachers have particular trouble grasping the role of social media and mobile devices in teenage life. They consider Facebook a threat and warn parents against it at parent-teacher evenings, without realizing that preventing teenagers from using social media like this, or messaging apps such as Snapchat and Instagram, is nearly impossible. Online social media and network gaming are now such an integral part of teenage behavior that any attempt to prize the mobile devices out of the hands of young people is likely to widen the generation gap rather than narrow it.
The generation gap in education isn't just between pupils and teachers – it exists within the staffroom, too. A teaching career can span more than 40 years, and those towards the end of their working life will not have grown up with digital technology, whereas teaching staff in their 20s and 30s could well be "digital natives".
Keeping up with the latest online trend is like a dog chasing its tail; every time you think you've caught up, kids move on. However, it's not beneficial to get fixated on how young people are using social networks that are, in the case of Snapchat, hard for the older generation to understand. The key factor to consider is that today's school students now take for granted that a lot of their communication with their peers will be online, and predominantly using smartphones and other mobile devices. Young people expect their educational experience to be similarly interactive, and partially delivered via these kinds of devices.

The generation gap exists even in the staffroom mostly because ______________.
A. the teaching career span is too long to adapt new technology.
B. the older teachers are not as familiar with digital technology as the younger.
C. many young teachers prefer using digital devices to operating others.
D. the older teachers are less unaffected by the development of technology than the younger.
Khoảng cách thế hệ tồn tại ngay cả trong phòng nhân viên chủ yếu là do ______________.
A. khoảng thời gian sự nghiệp giảng dạy quá dài để thích ứng với công nghệ mới.
B. những giáo viên lớn tuổi không quen thuộc với công nghệ kỹ thuật số bằng những người trẻ tuổi.
C. nhiều giáo viên trẻ thích sử dụng thiết bị kỹ thuật số hơn vận hành những người khác.
D. những giáo viên lớn tuổi ít bị ảnh hưởng bởi sự phát triển của công nghệ hơn những giáo viên trẻ hơn.
=> Theo thông tin trong đoạn 3 như sau:
"The generation gap in education isn't just between pupils and teachers – it exists within the staffroom, too. A teaching career can span more than 40 years, and those towards the end of their working life will not have grown up with digital technology, whereas teaching staff in their 20s and 30s could well be "digital natives"."
(Khoảng cách thế hệ trong giáo dục không chỉ giữa học sinh và giáo viên - nó còn tồn tại trong phòng giáo viên. Sự nghiệp giảng dạy có thể kéo dài hơn 40 năm và điều đó sẽ tiếp diễn cho đến cuối cuộc đời làm việc của họ sẽ không trưởng thành với công nghệ kỹ thuật số, trong khi đội ngũ giảng viên ở độ tuổi 20 và 30 có thể là "người bản địa kỹ thuật số".)
=> Như vậy, những giáo viên lớn tuổi không thành thạo công nghệ kỹ thuật số bằng những người trẻ tuổi.
Đáp án B.
