While income worry is a rather common problem of the ahead, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face.Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one.This phenomenon(现象) is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”.

In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home.Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them.The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries.Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do.This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response(回应) in time for their aged parents living by themselves.

The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries.Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.

       B.they can give some help to their parents back home

     C.they cannot do what they should for their parents.

     D.they believe what they actually do is right

A typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, favors news, music and games sites and seldom makes online purchases(购物).According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news — often entertainment-related — or for online games.About half download music and movies.

They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests.Online purchases still remain unpopular in China.Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month.Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.

“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday.“If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”

The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha.Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities.Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated.Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24.Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.

China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.

       A.likes to send e-mails                       B.likes to buy goods online
