12、th mom and dad. Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially. Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduat
13、es surveyed said they are still living at home. The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many rec
14、ent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness. Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally an
15、d financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone s satisfaction. However, there are risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents lo
16、ans and their financial future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children. 21. From the passage, we know Boomerang Kids . A.return to live with parents after graduation B.have problem with their marriage C.graduate from college in advance D.like to show off their ind

B As shocking as the idea of baby birds growing up in a cigarette-filled home sounds, a new study sugges
19、ts that some birds may benefit from putting the stuff from cigarette butts (烟蒂 ) into their nests. The nicotine( 尼古丁) remaining in smoked filters (滤嘴 ) may serve as a natural insecticide(杀虫剂 ) , driving harmful insects away from the nests and the baby birds living within. Tobacco plants produce nico
20、tine because it defends against insects that would otherwise eat the plants. The butts are undoubtedly smelly. But birds are actually quite fond of smelly chemicals, such as those found in aromatic(芳香的 ) plants. Some nest-building species regularly fill their nests with fresh aromatics, possibly bec

In the study, researchers at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala in Mexico set up heat traps, which attract harmful insects, in 55 nests around Mexico C
22、ity. Some traps were lined with the stuff in smoked cigarette filters. The others were lined with the stuff from unsmoked cigarette filters, which did not contain nicotine and other smoking by-products. Whether the nest held eggs, chicks or nothing, the unsmoked cigarette traps collected more harmfu
23、l insects, suggesting that it is the chemicals that drove harmful insects away. In a second experiment, the researchers collected 28 house sparrow nests and 29 house finch( 朱雀) nests from Mexico City immediately after the chicks flew out for food. They found that the more smoked filter stuff filled
24、a nest, the fewer harmful insects it had. The missing piece of the puzzle is whether the reduced number of harmful insects in the nests actually provided any benefit to the chicks. It is also unclear if nicotine or another chemical found in cigarettes may have turned the harmful insects out of the n
25、ests. If the results hold, then this study is an example of wildlife adaptation to urbanization or at least evidence that birds are smart and can still follow their noses in urban environments. 24. What may be the function of nicotine in cigarette butts for birds? A. To drive harmful insects away fr

When done in moderation, retail therapy can be an extremely beneficial tool to help boost your mood.” Another study at Journal of Consumer Psychology states that retail therapy has enhanced therapeutic value and improves mood as a result. When they further res
32、earched and studied the typical human behavior, they came to know that it depends on the emotional state that the person was experiencing beforehand. As a professor at Golden Gate University, San Francisco for psychology and marketing, Kit Yarrow is of the opinion that shopping is a rich source of m
