2 . Growing Pains

The term "adulting started as a sort of joke 一一 whenever a millennial(千禧一代)would do something age-appropriate, this was an act of "adulting." Now, though, millennials obviously require training in being an adult.

Rachel Flehinger has co-founded an Adulting School, which includes online courses on simple sewing, conflict resolution and cooking. The cause for such classes is that many millennials "haven’t left childhood homes" 一一 in America 34 percent of adults aged 18 to 34 still lived with their parents as of 2015, up from 26 percent a decade before.

There's a good deal of truth to this. If you're living at home, with Mom and Dad doing their best to spoil((溺爱)you, you're less likely to know how to do laundry, cook or balance a checkbook. Dependency breeds enervation.

But here's the catch: Living at home doesn't necessarily lead to dependency. As of 1940, more than 30 percent of 25- to 29-year-olds lived at home with parents or grandparents. They were adulting, even while living at home. Parents expected their kids to do chores, to prepare for life. Instead of blaming living at home, then, we have to blame our style of parenting. The truth is that we've simply become lazier as parents.

So what's the real problem?

We're more likely to let our kids crash on our couches(长沙发)than tell them to get a job and pay rent. We don't push our kids to build families of their own, as life expectancy has increased, so has adolescence. Americans aren't expected to start building a life, particularly middle- and upper-class Americans, until they're nearing their 30s. Then the question is how we can encourage young people to "'adult" in non-circumstance-driven fashion.

1. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph "Dependency breeds enervation." mean?
A.Parents would like to do housework by themselves
B.Present kids are too lazy to do housework.
C.Dependency makes kids unable.
D.Kids depend on their parents.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Millennials would like to be trained in being an adult.
B.Parents are too lazy to do chores.
C.Millennials don't adult because they still live in their childhood homes.
D.In the 1940s kids were adulting even when they were living at home.
3. Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage?
A."Adulting" is hard, but only because parents are too lazy to teach their kids.
B.Millennials should leave home early to adult.
C.Americans aren't expected to start building a life until they're nearing their 30s.
D.Adulting schools with online courses are popular.
4. According to the passage, what will be written about next?
A.The government should push off the age of adulthood.
B.Parents should leave kids in charge of society.
C.Parents should put responsibility on young people.
D.Pushing kids to adult is painful for parents.
3 . 假定你是李华,你和你的同学们将在下周末举办一次活动,针对“低头族”这一问题, 提醒过往的人们不要在行走时看手机,尽量抬起头来,注意安全与健康。请给你的英国朋 友Henry写封邮件,邀请他一起参加。开头和结尾已经给出,不计入总词数。
