Youth Emancipation in Spain
The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.
Around 55 percent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents’ home, says the latest report from the country’s state-run Institute of Youth.
To coax(劝诱)young people from their homes, the Institute started a "Youth Emancipation(解放)" programme this month. The programme offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.
Economists blame young people’s family dependence on the precarious labour market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.
Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists(社会学家). Family ties in south Europe—Italy, Portugal and Greece—are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth Key for Understanding".
"In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized," said Minguez.
In Spain—especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.
Parents’ tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules.
"A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he’ll put up a fight and call the father a fascist," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.
Mothers’ willingness to do children’s household chores worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso, a 60- year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with Mum is good.
"His Mum does the wash and cooks for him, in the end, he lives well." Masso said.
Which of the following statements is NOT true of Dionisio Masso?
选项
A、She has a boyfriend.
B、She is 60 years old.
C、She has three children.
D、She lives in Madrid.
答案
A
解析
短文倒数第二段第二句提到了“迪奥尼西奥·马索住在马德里,是一个60岁有三个20多岁孩子的母亲”,并没有提到她有一个男朋友,故选A。
