32、lege years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are 10becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of todays students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college

33、was a decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents

34、 go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy

35、 and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves trying on new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面)and personally. While we should provide safe spaces within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and chal

36、lenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on

37、administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults:

38、the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, pa

39、rticularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the 11conflict between adolescents desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be

40、 replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discov

43、. B. C. D. C12To start a conversation about the secret to happiness, ABC News health editor Dr. Richard Besser hosted a Twitter chat Tuesday. Experts from the National Institutes of Health, Mayo Clinic, Harvard University and TEDMED, as well as clinicians and people from across the country, joined t

44、he one-hour discussion. There are countless ways to measure happiness. With research on the topic increasing, researchers have carried out surveys to study peoples sense of well-being.Angela Haupt, health and wellness editor for U.S. News and World Report, said, “Happiness indicators include life sa

45、tisfaction, health and community engagement.”toddkashdan added that, “despite problems with self-reports, there is no better way to measure happiness than focusing on personal thoughts and feelings.”While scientists try to find out what caused happiness, others often believe that true joy doesnt exi

46、st. Dr Friedman, a psychiatrist at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Hospital, said that “happiness is hard to measure, but easy to recognize.”Still, common themes about satisfaction come up in these conversations. Finding meaning in daily work was important. Indeed, researchers have found that ha

47、ving creative and purposeful work to do is a key factor in happiness. But people were quick to state the importance of balancing work and family obligations.Chat participants(参与者) agreed that money does not surely bring happiness. And studies agree once peoples basic needs like food and housing are

48、met, higher incomes do little to improve your happiness. At last, people found value in their connections with others. Research shows that having support through friends, family, and social networks can bring happiness. Many agree with drmommy, who said “I measure my happiness by the loving people that are around me.”So, can we increase our happiness? Expressing gratitude(感激) is a 13possible way of feeling happiness. Researchers have
