问题     Young people legally become adults at the age of 18. They can【B1】______ and sign contracts. But adulthood is more than a legal【B2】______. Many Americans do not really consider young people "adults" until they【B3】______ their parents’ home and start a career.
    These days, people in their 20s are often criticized for delaying adulthood. Yet some researchers say this criticism may be misplaced(错放). Jeffrey Jensen Arnett is a research professor of 【B4】______ at Clark University in Massachusetts. He studies people in their 20s—or "20-somethings." Mr. Arnett says 20-somethings today are different than their parents and grandparents were at that age. He says now that people stay in education longer, they get married later, they have their first child later, the 20s are a period of really trying out different 【B5】______ and moving from one thing to another. As a result, the 20s are no longer about【B6】______. Instead they are increasingly about【B7】______.
    Journalists and researchers have been looking for new ways to describe the changes in the lives of Americans in their 20s. Some say today’s 20-somethings are living an "【B8】______ adolescence(青春期)." In other words, they are still like teenagers. Others say they are having a "delayed adulthood." Mr. Arnett calls the 20s a "【B9】______ decade of life." He says Americans should consider the【B10】______ aspects.
