It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers(同龄人), friends and instructors. Nearly Three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parent shappily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said the number of young adults striking out 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 mon for adult children to live in their parents' homes because it's being part of the culture.”32. What can be learned about Caitlin Hipp？A.. She is in her thirties.B.

It will never go out of fashion.B. It may allow of more travel chances.—C. It results from the change in moral values.D. It goes against America's cultural development.35.
