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. "
both young and old agree that______.
选项
A、good paying jobs are less available
B、the old made more life achievements
C、housing loans today are easy to obtain
D、getting established is harder for the young
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题目定位到第五段第一句:Young and old converge on one key point:Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today toget started in life than it was for earlier generations.老年人和年轻人也有看法一致的地方:老青两代人中绝大多数都认为现在的年轻人想要起步比上一代人更难了。由此可以确定答案为选项D。错误选项A和C为无关选项。错误选项B错在范围,原文是as,意思为如老年人达到的人生标志性成就一般,近似等量,而选项为more,扩大了范围。
