Many of America's young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old bedrooms. For the first time on record, living with parents is now the most common choice for millennials (bon from the early 1980s to late 1990s), a study by the Pew Research Center has found. And the percentage of older millennials those aged 25 to 34 who are living at home has reached its highest point (19 percent) on record, Pew analysts said.
Nearly one-third of all millennials live with their parents, slightly more than the proportion who live with a spouse(配偶). It's the first time that living at home has outpaced living with a spouse for this age group since such record-keeping began in 1880. The remaining young adults are living alone, with other relatives, in college dorms, as roommates or under other circumstances.
Jennifer Post, 26, has been living with her parents in Villas, New Jersey, since dropping out of law school two years ago. A law career wasn't a good fit for her, Post decided, and now she's seeking a job in digital media or marketing. Post spends her days on her computer, sending resumes（简历） and refreshing LinkedIn and other job sites. To her parents, it looks as though she's slacking off. "It's definitely a generation gap thing," she said. "I think they literally think I just sit down and watch movies all day."
Declining employment is a factor (因素 ) keeping many 18- to 34-year-olds at home. The share of young people with jobs fell to 71 percent in 2014 from 84 percent in 1960 the year when the percentage of young adults living outside the home reached the highest point. Other factors contributing to more millennials living with parents range from rising apartment rents to heavy student-debt loads to longer periods in college.
Casey Marshella moved back in with her parents in Fairfield, Connecticut, after graduating from Boston University last year. Just this week, she moved into an apartment with her sister. Within weeks, she and a friend — who also lives with her parents — expect to find their own place. Because many people her age share the same circumstances, most sympathize with her. Marshella, 22, says. Still their first question is usually, "So when are you planning on moving out?"

The other day I came across an Instagram post from my friend and colleague Danielle. It was a photo of a review of Danielle s recent photography exhibit. The review was positive, but also critical. That’s why Danielle posted it. She was proud of her work, no matter what her critics thought.
I was shocked by the post- -- it was one of the most honest things I've ever seen on social media! Usually when I scroll (滚读) through Facebook or Instagram, everything I see is perfect. Perfect vacations, perfect babies, perfect birthday cakes…
I' m guilty of it too. I only post photos of happy stuff. If someone saw my Instagram, they’d probably think, “Wow, this girl doesn’t have a care in the world.... and also she must really, really love ice cream.”
Danielle s post didn’t show a perfect world. And yet that didn’t make me think less of her. Quite the opposite, I respected her even more as an artist. That got me thinking. Maybe social media could be more meaningful if we showed off our mistakes or our struggles. And not a world where everything’s perfect, ice cream never melts and the lighting s always just right.
I’m going to try it out. Start with this blog post, which I’ll share on social media. I’ve included a photo here. It’s about a story I worked on for Guideposts magazine. See all those cross- outs and rewrites? That’s just the first of five pages of edit after edit from Guideposts editor- in-chief Edward Grinnan.
I remember the horrible day it happened like it was yesterday. I admit that I wept some tears over it. I considered giving up writing for a career. Eventually, though, I faced the music. I talked to Edward and asked him to explain the edits in detail so I could do better next time. The whole situation was rough. But, looking back now, it was a great learning experience.
1.Why was the author surprised at Danielle' s post?
A.It showed a perfect exhibit
B.It showed a beautiful photo
C.It included a strange picture
D.It included an objective review
2.What was the influence of Danielle s post on the author?
A.She realized the world is not perfect.
B.She was no longer afraid of mi stakes.
C.She stopped posting ice cream photos.
D.She began changing her posting habit.
3.What is the author's newly- posted photo about?
A.Her artworks B.Her happy times
C.Her failures as a writer D.Her favorite magazines
4.Which can replace the underlined part faced the music in the last paragraph?
A.Listened to music B.Stuck to my opinions
C.Accepted the criticisms D.Played a piece of music.

It was fine in March 12, 2019. All the students in our school went to a hill to plant trees. The teacher asked each of us to plant at least six tree. Then we started to digging, planting and watering. We both worked so hard that we could finish our tasks ahead of time. Among them, Wang Lin, our monitor sets a good example. Because he was ill, he worked even harder. When he finished his task, he went on to help others without little rest. He was wet all over after work. “I must learn from him,” I said to myself. Look at the lines of the young trees, we smiled happy, forgetting our tiredness.
