Youth of Today
— No savings, no pension, huge debts —
Leaving school or university means financial independence —but does it also mean debt? Some experts say the young should take some care.
It is life, but not as we know it. As this year’s school leavers and graduate s in Britain move on to further education or work, tasting financial independence for the first time, they show signs of being entirely different to previous generations in their attitudes to money, according to information collected by Cash. Used to debt but more affluent than previous generations, the current crop of 16- to 24-year-olds is a complex sector of society. But if they can handle their debts, these million young adults have the potential to become quite sophisticated on money matters.
Cash looked for the financial hallmarks of this group.
They are going to be big spenders and will be targeted heavily by retailers. “The market for products and services aimed at this group has continued to thrive,” concludes research organization Mintel in its recent report for retailers “Selling to and Profiting from the Under 25s”. This is “partly because the period during
which people are young, free and single, unencumbered（不受妨碍的）by parents and /or children has expanded to the late twenties and early thirties,” it says. While 13 percent of the population regularly pays their utility（公共设施）, credit card and other bills late, this proportion rises to a remarkable 64 percent for 18- to 24-year-olds, according to research conducted among 1,000 adults by . In theory, this suggests that more than 4 million of them are heading for such poor credit ratings that they will find it difficult to borrow in the future. But lenders may become more flexible in their lending terms rather than lose out on this huge sector of the consumer market.
Nearly one in three (28 percent) of people under 35 “do not consider their future financial position”, according to research from Accenture HR Services.
Although half of 18- to 25-year-olds want to own their home some day, they see almost insurmountable hurdles, according to Mintel: “For those who had not yet bought their own property, the prospect of trying to do so seemed daunting — if not impossible —financially.” Or could it be that their future prosperity will depend on whether they inherit property from their parents?
They regard as necessities many items which were seen as luxuries by their parents at the same age. More than nine out of 10 have their own mobile phone. “Some looked on their phone as a kind of security blanket, feel ing lost without it,” says Mintel.
A car is seen as “vital” by 64 percent of 18- to 25-year-olds, and designer clothes are worn by 44 percent of men and 35 percent of women in this age group, adds Mintel. Computer equipment is a high priority for many twenty-year-olds. Audio-visual equipment is particularly valued by young men.
Credit card ownership is increasing. Nearly two thirds of young adults have a card. More than half (58 percent) of the under-25s do not pay off their credit card bill in full each month, according to Mintel — including 16 percent who owe more than ￡500. With credit card ownership predicted to increase nearly 20 percent by 2009,
the younger age group could be increasingly targeted, as they are more accustomed to borrowing than older groups.
Debt is commonplace in this age group. Barclays predicts that graduate debt will average ￡17,500 in 2006, rising to nearly ￡34,000 by 2010.
A third of this group believe they are “too young” to start thinking about a pension, according to Accentur e. “There is a sea change in behavior going on here,” says Mervyn Kohler of Help the Aged. “For recent graduates who are saddled with debt and struggling to buy a home, the last thing they would care about is pension planning. They have also heard the message that they will have to work until they drop, so they wonder why they should bother with a pension. But when they retire, they will expect the state to bail them out.”
There is evidence to back up their instincts. More than 73 percent of the current crop of forty–year–olds are on course to be on Pension Credit and other means —tested benefits when they retire, according to the Institute of Fiscal Studies. Unless changes are made to the system, this proportion will increase.
Despite these disturbing findings, there is light at the end of the tunnel for the young. Helen Bowman, welfare officer at De Montfort University’s Student Finance Advice Centre, believes that many 18-year-olds get into financial difficulty out of ignorance but that “they tend to be very, very good” at dealing with problems when they face up to reality.
Part of the problem is that many have received little financial education from their parents. Some young adults do not even know how to shop for food and many do not realize that convenience food from corner shops will be more expensive than fruit and vegetables and other basic ingredients bought in markets or by looking for bargains, value ranges and discounts in supermarkets.
The generosity of parents can also backfire. “There does come a point where parents have to stop helping,” says Bowman.
Credit card companies have made debt far too accessible, she believes.
It could be that lending is more strictly regulated by the authorities in future. The Liberal Democrats are increasingly concerned at the easy availability of credit and this issue could well move up the political agenda. The location of cash machines in pubs does not help, especially for a generation that drinks heavily. Budgeting is hard for students who have to pay mobile phone and many other bills monthly but whose income in the form of Student Loans comes in at the start of term.
But there are many cases of students getting into debt and then finding a way out of the mess, usually by getting a job. Along the way, they learn how to budget and how to avoid temptation by, for instance, leaving their plastic at home. Parents may not even be aware, in many of these cases, that their children have got into debt and then scraped their way out. And people like these, who learnt the hard way, have an understanding of money which is probably deeper than that of people who have never had difficulties.

2. There are 13 percent of young adults who regularly pay their bills late.
3. Over ninety percent of 18- to 25-year-olds have got their own mobile phones.

parents.

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
“Home, sweet home” is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude in the United States. Whether the ____47____of life in the family house in sweet or not so sweet, the cherished (珍爱的) ideal of home has great importance for many people.
This ideal is a ____48____ part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century Europe settlers of the American West, was to find a piece of land, build a house for one’s family, and start a farm. These small ____49____ were portraits of independence: the entire family — mother, father, children, even grandparents — living in a small house and working together to support each other. Everyone understood the ____50____ importance of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, the ideal of home ____51____ is just strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When . soldiers came home after World War II, for example, they dreamed of buying houses and ____52____ families. So there was a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically in the suburbs, were often small and nearly ____53____, but they satisfied a deep need. Many saw the single-family house as the basis of their way of life.
As more women entered the labor force, the family spent even less time together. But the picture is changing: people can now telecommute, or work at home, while being ____54____ to the office by means of their computer. More and more people can now stay at home. So the old ____55____ could change from “Home, sweet home” to “Home, sweet office”, but the ____56____ on the cherished home will most likely stay the same.

I) identical
B) complex
J) ownership
C) reality

M) vital

Section B
Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Perhaps the most important defining characteristic of a human being is culture. The term culture as used here is not limited to operas, paintings, and other artistic endeavors. These are seen by anthropologists (人类学家) as examples of culture: culture itself is the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behavior and thought in relation to their environment. Defined in this manner, culture has three principal aspects: behavioral, perceptual and material. The behavioral component refers to how people act, especially how they interact with each other. In child rearing (养育) , for example, parents and children tend to interact in a relatively patterned fashion. Then there is the manner of perception, the ways people perceive the world. For example, parents have a limited range of ideas about how they should act, and what significance parenthood carries in the scheme of things. Finally, there is the material component of culture —the physical objects that we produce.
Most of what goes into making up culture is a result of learning —modifying behavior in response to experience within an environment. Learning is practically universal among organisms. But no other organism has a greater capacity for learning than a human, or depends as much on learned behavior for its survival.
While the survival of most other organisms is to some extent safeguarded by instincts, humans rely heavily on culture for their survival. People must learn how to live in a particular social and physical setting, biology playing but a minimal (最小限度的) role.
The ideas and modes of behavior that constitute culture are transmitted largely by a complex system of symbols that includes language. Humans have evolved an extremely complex system of communication that is unique to our species. Without it the creation of human culture as we know it would be impossible.
57. What is the definition of culture by anthropologists?
A) Operas, paintings and may other artistic activities as a whole.
B) Customary manners of behavior and thought related to the environment.
C) Behavioral, perceptual and material components interacting with each other.
D) The different ways people perceive the physical world.
58. According to the passage, the behavior of making tools for producing material objects should fall within the category of _________ component of culture.
A) behavioral B) perceptual C) material D) artistic
59. Learning is most essential for _________.
A) all the organisms to survive
B) all the organisms to acquire learned behavior
C) human beings to respond to experience within an environment
D) human beings to survive and live in a society
60. What’s the element to human culture?
A) Communication in language.
B) Biological adaptation to the environment
C) Safeguarding by instincts
D) Learning to survive
61. Which of the following statements is True?
A) The capacity for learning can only be observed in human beings.
B) Biology plays an important role in humans’ living in a social and physical setting.
C) Human behavior and thought do not have anything to do with culture.
D) If there were no language communication, humans couldn’t have created the present culture.
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
The best kept secret in San Diego is waiting to offer you a delightful getaway —without leaving town.
Less than three years ago, the Parisi Hotel was just an office building above the shops on the corner of Prospect Street. Now, that valuable space is an intimate luxury hotel —with several rooms overlooking the ocean. You’ll be amazed when you enter from the corner and ascend the curving staircase to the second-floor lobby. It will take you into a different world.
What will you find when you enter the large contemporary lobby is a handsome and peaceful space that was designed with a hint of Tuscany in its modern Mediterranean
(地中海式的) style. The lobby has a large fireplace with comfortable sofas in warm neutral color s surrounding it. You’ll feel relaxed just sitting there —with its skylight overhead letting in the morning sun.
All the rooms are more like suites (套房), with large comfortable beds, beautiful baths and stylish custom-designed furnishings and art throughout.
The Parisi Hotel is the perfect place for seniors because it’s quiet and restful —with only 20 rooms. You won’t find many hotels like this in the center of a tourist town.
The shops are all around you. Likewise for some of the city’s best restauran ts, you will never have to take your car out of the garage during your stay. And, by the way, the underground parking lot at the Parisi Hotel is free for hotel guests. Once you stay at this little gem (珍品), you’ll want to return again and again.
I know we do. It’s a perfect place for seniors.
Rates for standard suites begin at $275. You can call the hotel for reservation at (858) 454-1513. The Parisi Hotel is located at 1111 Prospect St. right across from La Valencia.
62. The Parisi Hotel is described as _________.
A) a luxury hotel with comfortable facilities
B) a large hotel famous for its rooms facing the ocean
C) a good place for escaping away from the noisy city
D) a tourist attraction full of amazing corners
63. When you enter the lobby, you will find that ________.
A) it is decorated with Mediterranean furniture
B) the walls are painted in warm neutral bright colors
C) there is a large fireplace burning all the time
D) sunlight comes through the window in the sloping roof
64. Why is the Parisi Hotel suitable for old people?
A) Because all the rooms are like suites.
B) Because it has fashionable furnishings.
C) Because it is in the center of the town.
D) Because it is peaceful to stay there.
65. What special benefit can people get while staying in the Parisi Hotel?
A) They don’t need to drive to eat out in a restaurant.
B) They can enjoy free parking.

新视野大学英语3第三版课文翻译 Unit 1 The Way to Success 课文A Never, ever give up! 永不言弃！ As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!" 英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士，小时候在哈罗公学上学。当时他可不是个好学生，要不是出身名门，他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。谢天谢地，他总算从哈罗毕业了，在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。后来，他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气，为他赢得了美名。他非凡的决心，不仅激励了整个民族，还鼓舞了全世界。 在他首相任期即将结束时，他应邀前往母校哈罗公学，为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。校长说：“年轻的先生们，当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲，他提出的任何中肯的建议，你们都要听从。”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。温斯顿爵士站了起来——他只有5 英尺5 英寸高，体重却有107 公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话：“年轻人，要永不放弃。永不放弃！永不放弃！永不，永不，永不，永不！” Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships,
