24、is a senseless notion that children grow up and leave home when they re 18, and the truth is far from that,“ says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin. Today, unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents. “ There is a major shift in the middle class,“ declares
25、 sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months. Analysts cite a variety 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 peopl
26、e. A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters. For some, the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so excessively great that many students now attend local schools. Even after gradu
27、ation, young people find their wings clipped by skyrocketing housing costs. Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give her security and moral support. Her mother agreed, “ It s ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent. It makes sense for kids to stay at home. “
28、But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult. Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times-and left three times. “What I
29、considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol problem ,“ she explains. “ He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends house. “ Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings ar
30、e a mistake. Children, struggling to establish separate, identities, can end up with “ a sense of inadequacy, defeat and failure. “ And aging parents, who should be enjoying some financial and personal, freedom, find themselves stuck with responsibilities. Many agree that brief visits, however, can
31、work beneficially. 56 According to the author, there was once a trend in the U. S. _. （ A） for middle class young adults to stay with their parents （ B） for young adults to leave their parents and live independently （ C） for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence （ D） for you
32、ng adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents 57 Which of the following does not account for young adults returning to the nest? （ A） Young adults find housing costs too high. （ B） Young adults are psychologically and intellectually immature. （ C） Young adults seek parental comfor
33、t and moral support. （ D） Quite a number of young adults attend local schools. 58 One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to stay with their parents is that_. （ A） most parents find it difficult to keep them at home （ B） there will inevitably be inconveniences in everyday life （ C） the yo
34、ung adults tend to be overprotected by their parents. （ D） public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents. 59 The word “hassles“ in the passage(Line 4, Para. 3)probably means _. （ A） agreements （ B） worries （ C） disadvantages （ D） quarrels 60 According to the passage what is the b
35、est for both parents and children? （ A） They should adjust themselves to sharing the family expenses. （ B） Children should leave their parents when they are grown-up. （ C） Parents should support their adult children when they are in trouble. （ D） Adult children should visit their parents from time t
36、o time. 60 The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illness may be preventable if individuals would make second personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like t
37、o see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire , we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever food we w
38、ant, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager
39、 may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health - related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this
40、text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choice. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo dr
41、ew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is Similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should r
42、eflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity. 61 The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because_. （ A） personal health choices help cure most illness （ B） it helps raise the level of our medical knowledge （ C） it
43、 is essential to personal freedom in American society （ D） wrong decisions could lead to poor health 62 To “ live a completely sedentary life-style“(Lines 7, Para. 1)in the passage means （ A） to “live a decent life“ （ B） to “live an inactive life“ （ C） to “live a life with complete freedom“ （ D） to
44、“live a life of vice“ 63 Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because_. （ A） current medical knowledge is still insufficient （ B） there are many factors influencing our decisions （ C） few people are willing to trade the quality of life （ D） people are usually influenced by the beh
45、avior of their friends. 64 To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits, is compared by Fried and Crapo to （ A） improving the quality of one s life （ B） limiting one s personal health choice （ C） breaking the rules of social behavior （ D） deliberately ending one s life 65 According to Fries
46、 and Crapo sound health choices should be based on_. （ A） personal decisions （ B） societys laws （ C） statistical evidence （ D） friends opinions 65 If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations; you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of ski
47、n cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman. There are many reasons for this typically, men take more risks than women and are more likel
48、y to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don t go to the doctor. “ Men aren t seeing doctors as often as they should,“ says Dr. Cullotta. “ This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike. Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker s cough for a year. “When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,“
