relocated to a new city and even declared bankruptcy. Then in December, she finally moved back into her
parents" home at age 52. "I"m back living in the bedroom that I grew up in," she said.
Taking shelter with parents isn"t uncommon for young people, especially when the job market is poor.
But now the declining economy is forcing some children to do so later in life-even at middle age.
Financial planners report receiving many calls from parents seeking advice about taking in their grown
children after divorces and lay-offs. Kim Erickson, a financial planner in California, said she has never seen
older children, even those at 50, depending so much on their parents as in the last six months."These are
40-and-50-year-old children of my clients that they"re helping out. We have a hard time saying no as a culture
to our children, and they keep asking for more," she said.
Bauer"s parents won"t take rent money. She"s trying to save several hundred dollars a month for a house
while working as a meeting coordinator. Bauer would prefer to live on her own, but without her parents" help,
she would "probably be renting again," she said."Buying groceries for another person isn"t stretching my
budget too much," said her mother, Shirley Smith, aged 80.
Parents usually feel guilty if they don"t offer help. But a large number of well-meaning parents must delay
retirement or scale back their dreams because they have to help their children, Erickson said. And the sliding
economy might threaten their jobs.
"I almost have to act like a financial therapist," she said to Shirley. "Here is the line I"m drawing for you.
That"s fine. You can do up to this point, but at this point, now you"re starting to erode ( 损害 ) your own
wealth." | | 1. From the passage, we can learn that _____. | A. middle-aged people even have fewer job opportunities than young people

I am a very conservative woman. I don"t drink, dance, wear makeups or pants. I enjoy the company of
friends despite (尽管) our differences and thought they enjoyed mine.
On our most recent outing, however, they laughed at my religious jewelry, commented on my "lack of
fashion," and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late.
Despite this, they are great friends and would help me at the drop of a hat. I don"t bring up their being
overweight, or that I think some of the clothes they wear are ugly. I don"t criticize them for sleeping around.
I wish they would accept me for who I am.
I am considering not going out with them the next time they ask, but I don"t really want it to come to that.
Any suggestions?

disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They
spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects
their lives.
Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could
affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers
and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become addicted to computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this
situation. They spend all free time surfing and don"t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences
their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there.
Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.
They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends
changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they
speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with
their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their
life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have
known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the
world. | | 1. The author"s attitude towards weboholism is that of being ______. | A. friendly
