Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.
Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.
Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found.
From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining pro and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.
Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those "just getting started in life "face a tougher climb than earlier generations in reaching such signpost achievements as securing a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt,and finding affordable housing.
Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-year-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs, says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said, "I can’t afford to pay my monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to make that happen. "Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young. " I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’t have college degrees, "Schneider said. "I don’t think people are capable of that anymore. "
The priorities and expectations defined by the young will______.
选项
A、depend largely on political preferences
B、reach almost all aspects of American life
C、focus on materialistic issues
D、become increasingly clear
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题目定位到第四段第二行“…those just starting out in life are defining priorities pro and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects ofAmerican life,from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.”……刚开始人生的美国年轻人在为他们的生活重心和期许下注解,这些变化将会快速传播并渗透到美国人生活的各个方面。由此可确定答案为B,基本属于原文再现。错误选项A属于偷换概念。错误选项C和D无中生有,是无关选项。
