million adults between the ages of 20 and 34 were living with their parents in 2017.
Lack of jobs and the high cost of renting accommodation made Luke change his plans.He's frustrated.?There's something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you're still a child，”he says.“It limits me socially；sometimes I feel it limits me professionally.” the family's three－bedroom house with her siblings.She says they_end_up_getting_on each other's_nerves when it's time to use the bathroom in the morning.itions，culture，or family traditions mean many young people stay at home until they get hitched.Even then，it can be too expensive to rent or buy a house and the married couples continue to live at one of their parents' homes.

It seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular.The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else.You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.
I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter.Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses.I suppose that，for a girl in her teens，entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles.At least that's how Margy found it at first.However，as the school year drew to a close，one student after another came to her.I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school.Nobody can please everyone.If you try to do so，you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.
Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it.They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.
I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave.Our way of life makes a young nonconformist stand out like a Martian.These days there's a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.Well，go to it.Be yourself.Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are.That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.
【语篇解读】 本文作者从自己女儿换了新学校后迅速受到新同学欢迎的事实谈起批判了那些为迎合他人而放弃自我的行为方式并就“受欢迎”表达了自己的观点：做真实的自己别人也会尊重你的本真。l?
A．She might find no true friends.
B．She would ignore her academic performance.
C．She had no idea of her own.
D．She might betray her true self.
解析：推理判断题。第一段提到为了受欢迎而一味迎合别人的人“can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles”再由第二段中Nobody can please everyone.If you try to do so，you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.”可知作者认为如果他的女儿在新学校已取得人际交往上的即刻成功的话那么对作者来说女儿肯定是违背了真实的自我以取悦他人使自己变得受欢迎。因此答案选D项。答案：D does the author think of most teenagers?
A．They're afraid of getting lost in life.
B．They have difficulty understanding each other.
C．They lack the courage to be truly different.
D．They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.
解析：推理判断题。由第三段的内容可知一些青少年想C项。答案：CSomeone who cares about others' opinion.
B．Someone who desires popularity greatly.
C．Someone who behaves in his own way.
D．Someone who wants to please others.
解析：词义猜测题。由第四段中的“I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave”可知此处指想要变得与众不同走自己的路变得更难了。由此可推知画线词“nonconformist”指的应是“不遵循常规的人”。因此答案选C项。答案：CWhat is the author's purpose of writing this passage?
A．To persuade readers to pursue valuable popularity.
B．To tell parents how to guide their children.
C．To criticize the present values and beliefs.
D．To suggest a good way to be popular.
