Youth Emancipation in Spain
The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.
Around 55 percent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents’ home, says the latest report from the country’s state-run Institute of Youth.
To coax(劝诱)young people from their homes, the Institute started a "Youth Emancipation(解放)" programme this month. The programme offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.
Economists blame young people’s family dependence on the precarious labour market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.
Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists(社会学家). Family ties in south Europe—Italy, Portugal and Greece—are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth Key for Understanding".
"In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized," said Minguez.
In Spain—especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.
Parents’ tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules.
"A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he’ll put up a fight and call the father a fascist," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.
Mothers’ willingness to do children’s household chores worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso, a 60- year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with Mum is good.
"His Mum does the wash and cooks for him, in the end, he lives well." Masso said.
The phrase "wary of" in paragraph 8 could be best replaced by
选项
A、tired of.
B、afraid of.
C、worried about.
D、cautious about.
答案
D
解析
短文第八段提到“父母对孩子的容忍是另一个因素。西班牙的父母可以接受孩子们的深夜派对,小心翼翼地制定就寝时间”。A项意为“厌倦了”;B项意为“害怕”;C项意为“担忧,担心”;D项意为“谨慎于”,故选D。
