They also believe
48、 that becoming a real grown-up is a process(过程) which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicagos National Opinion Research Center. The findings are based on a representative sample(代表性样本) of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who we
49、re surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions(过渡) to grown-up status(地位，状态) to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to supp
50、ort a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child. “There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporti
51、ng a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is compl

56、assage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Everyone should visit a lighthouse at least once.The most important reason for such visit is to realize how our ancestors(祖先) battled(与.斗争) nature with the basic tools(基本工具) th

60、 content just to put up a basic structure, but felt the need to build with an artistic touch.Finally, lighthouses have a romantic attraction, summed up by the image of the oil-skin coated(上涂料的) keeper climbing his winding stairs(旋梯) to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives.In a word, o
