The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at homewith her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.
To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.
UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adultsstill living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.
The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers,friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.
Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in theUS, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.
“ There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage. I don't know if it represents a change in moral values. But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents’ homes because it's becoming part of the culture.
1. What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report?
A. Millennials are on good terms with their parents.
B. Millennials are financially independent after college.
C. Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.
D. Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.
2. What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home?
A. It increases the consumption of household products.
B. It may continue despite job growth.
C. It is a sign of shift in moral values.
D. It is new in American culture.
3. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?
A. To introduce millennials' living habits.
B. To stress the importance of financial independence.
C. To explain why American young adults still live at home.
D. To inform people of a social trend in theUS.

Government officials said a public health center promises that moneyfor medical treatment will continue to
come. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.
Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week. "The chance is very small, but its not impossible, ” said the expert, Paul Caruso.

My friend and I went traveling inTasmania,Australialast December. We settled in our Airbnb accommodation, a cozy apartment, not long after we arrived inHobart, the capital city.
After briefing us on the kitchen's facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom, our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work, which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.
She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms, and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison. And when she detected the curiosity in our tones, she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV. My friend and I exchanged a “this is incredible” look and said “yes” immediately.
As we drove, she told us about the buildings that we were passing, the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmania's well-known contemporary art gallery.
And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison. According to our hostess, it currently holds Martin Bryant, a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property. We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.
Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist, and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience, not to mention the fact that it's usually cheaper than hotel rooms.
But I'm fully aware of the risks of Airbnb, which is why I did my homework before booking online—I checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.
That said, it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates me—the interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.
12. Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?
A. She planned to send the uniform to the prison.
B. She found our curiosity about the prison.
C. She wanted to show off her SUV.
D. She needed to offer a tour for us.
13. Which of the following can best explain the word “notorious” in Paragraph 5?
A. Unfamiliar to everyone.
B. Particularly disappointing.
C. Well known for being bad.
D. Extremely generous to others.
14. Compared with hotels, what is the writer's favorite of the Airbnb accommodation?
A. It is cheaper in most cases.
B. It supplies a better living condition.
C. It offers a much safer accommodation.
D. It provides a chance to know local culture.
15. What does the author think of finding accommodation on Airbnb?
A. Disapproving.
B. Supportive.
C. Neutral.
D. Doubtful.

In order to promote participation in outdoors exercise, our school organized an activity to climb Gele Mountain on Dec 28. The majority of my class joined the activity.
Early in the morning, having gathered outside the school gate, we head straight to the thickly-forested Gele Mountain. We set out for the top in high spirits the moment when we arrived at the foot of the mountain. In a
course of the climb, we cooperated with each other to pass the steep areas. Laughing and cheering, we eventually reached the summit, there we were greeted by the bright sunshine and fresh air. Viewing from the top, the city was beautiful. In the warm sunshine, we entertained us with stories, songs, dances and game.
This event was extremely beneficial and we strongly suggest that similar events are held every year!

My little sister, Donna, turned six, and she started copying my every move!
“What are you doing?” she asked my friend Maya and me one Saturday morning.
“We're making earrings,” Maya said, pointing to a photo in the craft page of her magazine.
Donna plopped (扑通) down next to us at the table. “May I make one too?”“ Um...”I paused.
“Sure!” Maya said. Donna squeezed in so close to me that I could hardly see what I was doing.
“Can you give me a little more room? You are blocking me from the beads.” I said.
“I'm just trying to see what you're doing.” Donna said.
“Well, you don't need to see exactly what I'm doing.” I told her. “You can make your own design.”
“I am!” she said. She was using the same color1 s of beads and string and everything that I was using.
Having finished the earrings, Maya suggested we get her guitar to make up songs for our band.
“Excellent idea!” I said. “Let's go to the backyard where we can have some privacy.”
When Donna didn't say anything, I thought she must have gotten the clue. But 10 minutes later, she showed up.
“Sorry I'm late, but I couldn't find my tambourine (铃鼓).” said Donna. “It was in the basket that my kitten Charlie was sleeping in. Isn't that so funny? Maybe, we should invite Charlie to be in our band!”
“Our band?” I said. “Since when is this our band? You're constantly following me like a shadow, and I'm tired of it.”
