The rise of the so-called “boomerang generation” is revealed in official figures showing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.
By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago. It also found that grown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a “generation of mummy’s boys”.
Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the “boomerang generation” because of the trend toward returning to the family home having initially left to study. Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to choose to live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.
Rising property prices, mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the job market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally be moving out. But commentators warned that the phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing “dire” prospects than simply a desire to save money.
While the proportion of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has been reversed. Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more than 760,000 in their late 20s. In 1988, 22.7 per cent of men aged 25 to 29 were still living with their parents but last year the proportion was 24.5 per cent.
【小題1】 What is the main idea of the passage?

A．The economic crisis has shown its effect on the young generation.
B．More young professionals are returning home to live.
C．British parents are suffering more loads from their grown-up children.
D．Britain is suffering more than any other country in Europe.

B．Eighty percent of university graduates were able to live independently two decades ago.
C．The grown-up children choose to live with their parents only to save money.
D．More and more children are moving out at university age.
【小題3】 What does the underlined word “dire” probably mean?
A．promising.B．inconvenient.C．very bad.D．hopeful
【小題4】 The following factors may account for the phenomenon except _____.
A．that living prices have risen a lot.

Computer programmer David Jones makes 35,000 pounds a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.
The 16-year-old boy works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm puts two new games on the home market each month.
But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. In spite of his salary, made by inventing new programs within a quite short period of time, the bonus payments and profit-sharing (獎(jiǎng)金和分紅), he cannot drive a car, get some money from a bank to buy a house, or get credit cards.
He lives with his parents in their house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His firm has to pay ￡150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.
David got his job with the firm a year after leaving school with six 0-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said.
“I suppose 35,000 pounds sounds a lot but actually that’s not good enough. I hope it will come to more than that this year.” He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 20 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I know what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.”
David added, “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”
【小題1】Why is David different from other young people of his age?

A．He earns a very high salary.B．He has not a job.
C．He does not go out much.D．He lives at home with his parents.
【小題2】David’s greatest problem is ____________.
A．making the banks treat him as a grown-up B．inventing computer games
C．spending his salaryD．learning to drive
【小題3】He was hired by the firm because ____________.
A．he had worked in a computer shopB．he had written some computer programs
C．he worked very hardD． he had learned to use computers at school
【小題4】He left school after taking six 0-levels because ____________.
A．he did not enjoy school
B．he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him
C．he was afraid of getting too old to start computing
D．he wanted to earn a lot of money
【小題5】Why does David think he might retire early?
A．One has to be young to write computer programs.
B．He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.
C．He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.
D．He thinks his firm might go bad.

Grandparents might be known for spoiling grandchildren, but a new study says they might also be helping the kids improve their social skills and behavior.
Spending time with grandma and grandpa especially appears to help children from single-parent, divorced/separated or stepfamily households, according to the report, published in the February Journal of Family Psychology.
"Grandparents are a positive force for all families but play a significant role in families undergoing difficulties," the study's lead author, Shalhevet Attar-Schwartz, of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said in an American Psychological Association news release. "They can reduce the negative influence of parents separating and be a resource for children who are going through these family changes."
In interviewing 11- to 16-year olds from England and Wales, Attar-Schwartz and her team found that the more conversations the youths had with a grandparent, including asking for advice or even money, the better they got along with their peers and the fewer problems they had, such as hyperactivity and disruptive behavior.
"This was found across all three family structures," she said. "But adolescents in single-parent households and stepfamilies benefited the most. The effect of their grandparents' involvement was stronger compared to children from two biological parent families."
The study did not look at children who lived solely with their grandparents, though.
The findings have great implications for people in the United States, the authors said, because American grandparents are increasingly sharing living space with their grandchildren. A 2004 U.S. Census Bureau survey found that more than 5 million households include a grandparent and a grandchild under 18, up 30 percent since 1990, according to background information in the news release.
【小題1】It is generally believed that a grandmother __________ .

A．can help a child through hard times
B．can help kids develop social skills
C．can spoil a child

【小題2】 According to the passage, grandparents will be of least benefit to a child __________ .
A．from two biological parent families
B．from a single—parent household
C．from a divorced household
D．from a stepfamily household
【小題3】A child who asks his grandmother for money will __________ .
A．have difficulty in getting along with his peers
B．still get along well with his peers
C．be easier to be spoiled than his peers
D．not be popular with peers
【小題4】 We can learn from the last paragraph that ___________ .
A．there are more families in America undergoing difficulties
B．American parents are much busier than those from other countries
C．American grandparents are much better at bringing up their grandchildren
D．American kids like to share more living space with their grandparents
【小題5】 The passage implies that __________ .
A．children who live solely with their grandparents may benefit the most
B．grandparents are a source of comfort to children from families undergoing difficulties
C．grandparents play a more positive role than parents in children’s growth
D．a(chǎn)ll families should leave their children to be brought up by grandparents
