請依下文回答第 17 題至第 20 題  After losing his law-firm job, Michael Bliss, 40, gave the bank the keys to the house he was unable to afford and moved back in with his parents. His mother thought her “son” was back, but Michael thought he was living with a “roommate.” She felt bad because he wouldn’t say hello when he walked in the door. At the same time, he felt she was checking up on him and lurking around. Michael Bliss is an example of “boomeranger.” The term boomerang children used to refer to young adults moving back in with their parents, and now the economic recession is forcing people in their 30s and 40s to bunk in with their parents until they regain their financial footing. Since the recession began in December 2007, 3.6 million Americans have lost their jobs. In 2008 a third of retirees have had to help their children pay bills. And the number of multigenerational households has increased from 5 million in 2000 to 6.2 million in 2008. Wounded pride and general anxiety about the global economic crisis are inevitable, but there are ways to ease the situation. Brian Carpenter, a psychology professor, suggests that parents and children should have their own space in a house to build in privacy. He also suggests that children should share household expenses and take over chores like mowing the lawn. In this way, no one feels taken advantage of. Also, it is important to discuss one another’s needs. Failure to do so can lead to a lot of friction. Most importantly, there needs to be a bit of give and take from both sides to create a warm and cozy family.
【題組】20 What is the last paragraph mainly about?
(A) Generation gap between parents and children.
(B) The importance of a warm and cozy family.

김민주 大四上 (2022/01/17):

多代同堂家庭的數量從 2000 年的 500 萬增加到 2008 年的 620 萬。對全球經濟危機的自尊心和普遍焦慮是不可避免的，但有辦法緩解這種情況。 心理學教授布賴恩·卡彭特 (Brian Carpenter) 建議，父母和孩子應該在房子裡擁有自己的空間，以便在私密的環境中建造。 他還建議孩子們應該分擔家庭開支並承擔修剪草坪等家務。 這樣一來，就沒有人覺得被利用了。 此外，討論彼此的需求也很重要。 不這樣做會導致很多摩擦。 最重要的是，雙方都需要付出和接受，才能創造一個溫暖舒適的家庭。


最後一段在說:

由於多代同堂的數量越來越多

→專家給予這些多代同堂彼此相處之間的建議

→創造溫暖舒適的家庭
