The study shows that todays teenagers are growing up more slowly than those before.S
36、cientists from San Diego State University have worked on a study on the behaviors (行为) of 8 million teenagers in seven different countries over the past 40 years. The results tell us that compared to the teenagers in the past, todays teenagers are less responsible (负责任的). And it takes them more time
37、 to do the same things than their parents did. They are also less likely to have a part-time job. Whats more, when they get older, they begin to know that they should help their parents do housework, while their grandparents and parents helped do housework at a very early age. “This is a slow life w
38、ay,” said Professor Jean Twenge.“The development of todays teenagers has slowed down. 18-year-olds are more like 15-year-olds in the past,” added Professor Twenge. “Teenagers today are taking much fewer risks than those in the past did.” Scientists have also found that more teenagers spend longer ti
39、me living with their parents instead of renting (租) their own rooms or apartments.One of the reasons for these behaviors is that todays teenagers would like to spend much time online. They keep on connecting with social media, watching videos or playing games on the Internet instead of living in the
40、 real world. Another one is that parents do much for their children and protect them too much. In fact, parents had better let their children do everything by themselves.

44、Ideas about Todays Teenagers三、 任务型阅读ANow more and more Chinese teenagers find life more difficult without their parents. They dont know how to do housework, because their parents do almost everything for them at home. This is a big problem.Joy is 14 years old. One day her parents went on a trip to S
45、hanghai, so she had to stay at home alone. At first she thought she would be happy because her parents were not in. She could do everything that she liked. But it was seven oclock in the evening, and she felt hungry. “Oh, its time to have supper. Where can I get my food?” she said to herself. Later
46、she found some food in the fridge, but she didnt know how to cook. At that moment, she missed her parents very much. At last she could only go to a restaurant to eat.Many of teenagers are the same as Joy. So I think teenagers should learn some basic life skills such as tidying up their rooms, dressing themselves, cooking some simple dishes and so on. They shouldnt depend too much on their parents, either. Learning to be independent is quite important for them.1. Do most Chines
