請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題 Journalists and researchers have been looking for new ways to describe the changes in the lives of the millennial
generation. Some say today’s 20-somethings are living an “extended adolescence.” 41, they are still like teenagers.
Others say they are having a “delayed adulthood.” The term “boomerang kids” is popular. That means young people
leave their parents’ house 42 , like a boomerang thrown through the air, later return.
Research psychologist Jeffrey Arnett says these terms can suggest that many Americans 43 20-somethings. He
says, “There’s a tendency at least in the United States for people to look at this negatively and to deplore it and say what’s
wrong with them that they won’t grow up?” He calls the 20s a “special decade of life.” He says Americans should
consider the positive aspects. For example, 20-somethings usually have a series of school and work experiences. They
may have several serious romantic relationships. Or they might try living in different cities or even different countries.
“It’s the freest time of your life. It’s the one time of your life 44 you can get up and go basically anywhere you
want and travel and experience new things, do a service project in some remote part of the world, or just experience the
freedom of being 45 in your 20s.” He calls this a time of “emerging adulthood.” In other words, 20-somethings are
more mature than adolescents but not quite full adults. He says because emerging adults try so many things, they will
ultimately make better choices about work, love and home.
