Financial independence is one of the many markers used to designate the crossover from childhood into young adulthood, and it's a milestone most Americans think young adults should reach by the age of 22. But that's not the reality for most young adults who've reached this age.The share of young adults who could be considered "financially independent" from their parents by their early 20s has gone down somewhat in recent decades. A new Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data finds that, in 2018, 24% of young adults were financially independent by age 22 or younger, compared with 32% in 1980.Looking more broadly at young adults aged 18 to 29, the share who are financially independent has been largely stable in recent decades. Overall, young men are more likely than young women to be financially independent, but this gender gap has diminished significantly.The new survey findings underscore the extent to which many young adults are financially reliant on their parents. Some 45% of adults aged 18 to 29 say they have received a lot of or some financial help from their parents in the past 12 months. According to parents of young adults, those shares may be even higher. About six-in-ten parents with children aged 18 to 29 say they have given their kids at least some financial help in the past year.A majority of young adults who have received financial help from their parents say at least some ofit was for recurring expenses. Six-in-ten say the money went toward household expenses such as groceries or bills, and significant shares used it to pay their tuition, rent or mortgage.Beyond financial independence, the pace with which young adults are reaching other markers of adulthood has slowed significantly over the past several decades. Today's young adults are staying in school longer and are marrying and establishing their own households later than previous generations. A growing share are living in their parents' homes well into their 20s and even early 30s. Some of these changes are linked to economic challenges, while others may represent a rearrangement of goals and priorities.1 What does the author try to imply in Paragraph 1? ______A.Financial independence is vital to being a young adult.B.Financial independence marks the start of adulthood.C.Most young Americans live their life in a unique way.D.Many American young adults depend on their parents.2 What is the change between young Americans in 2018 and those in 1980? ______E.The latter have more financial knowledge.F.The latter have less sense of social responsibility.G.The former are more ambitious than the latter.H.The former are less financially independent.3 What do we learn about the age-group of 18 to 29 in the U.S.? ______I.Young women are fast catching up with young men financiaily.J.Young men are more vulnerable to bankruptcy than young women.K.The past decade witnessed a dramatic financial change among them.L.About 45% of them have got financial support from their friends.4 What do young Americans say about the financial assistance they received from their parents? ______M.Most of them say it was used to cover unexpected expenses.N.More than half of them say it was for household expenses.O.Many say a great amount of it went toward entertainment.P.Some say a small share of it was about paying tuition or rent.5 What is said about the young adults nowadays in the U.S.? ______Q.The pace with which they reach markers of adulthood is speeding up.R.An increasing percent of them would like to live separately from their parents.S.They tend to spend more years in schooling and delay their marriage age.T.They are more likely to be financially independent after getting married.
