“There is an out – of – date idea that children grow up and leave home when they’re 18,and the truth is far from that,” says Mr.Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents.“There is a great change in the middle class,” declares Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months.
Scientists show a number of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce (离婚) rate and a low remarriage rate make some differences.For some, the expense of an away - from - home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation, young people find their wings tied by terrible housing costs.
Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give security (安全保卫) and moral(道义的) support.Her mother agreed.“Its strange for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home.” But sharing the family home requires changes for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy.Some families, however, manage the careful balancing act.But for others, it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times and left three times.“What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol (酒精) problem,” she explains.“He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends' houses.”
Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children, can end up with a sense of defeat and failure.And aging parents, who should be enjoying some freedom, find themselves stuck with too many things.Many agree that brief visits, however, can work well.
1.According to the author, there was once a trend in the U.S.________.
A.for young adults to leave their parents and live separately
B.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents
C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence
D.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents
2.Which of the following does not lead to young adults returning to the nest?
A.Young adults find housing costs too high.
B.Young adults are not old enough.
C.Young adults look for parental comfort and support.
D.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.
3.The underlined word “hassles” in the passage probably means _________.
A.agreements B.worries
C.disadvantages D.quarrels
4.According to the passage what is the best for both parents and children?
A.They should share the family expenses.
B.Children should leave their parents when they are grown up.
C.Adult children should live away from their parents and visit their parents from time to time.
D.Parents should support their adult children when they are in trouble.
5..One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to slay with their parents is that ______.
A.there will certainly be inconveniences in even-day life
B.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family going
C.the young adults try to be overprotected by their parents
D.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents

The $ 11 billion self – help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “ I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.
The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students' self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."
Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.
1.What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?
A.It is a highly profitable industry.
B.It is based on the concept of positive thinking.
C.It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.
D.It has yielded positive results.
2.What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?
A.Encouraging positive thinking many do more harm than good.
B.There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.
C.Unhappy people cannot think positively.
D.The power of positive thinking is limited.
3.What does the author mean by "you're just underlining his faults" in the third paragraph?
A.You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.
B.You are pointing out the errors he has committed.
C.You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.
D.You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.
4.It can be inferred from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic that ________.
A.it is important for people to continually keep their self - esteem
B.self – affirmation can bring a positive change to one’s mood
C.forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self - esteem
D.people with low self – esteem seldom write down their true feelings
