A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house,the same house I grew up in,I had a sudden,scary realization.When my parents bought the house,in 1982,they were only two years older than I am now.I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.
It seemed ridiculous.On a practical level,there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon.More importantly,I wouldn’t want to.I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years,or what kind of job I’ll have.And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents.When our parents were our age,they’d got their education,chosen a career,and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
My friends and I--“Generation Y”--still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives.Whatever we end up doing,we want to make sure we’re happy doing it.We’d rather take risks first,try out different jobs,and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place.We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”(自大的), “impatient”, and “overprotected”.Some of these complaints have a point.As children, we were encouraged to succeed in school,but also to have fun.We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones,the Internet,instant messaging,and video games.
Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.
Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.

Global financial big dogs are no match for China's "Da Ma", or housewives, who have crowded into gold stores across China, buying up 300 tons of gold over the past two weeks. No wonder gold prices have steadied after taking a dive.
During the May Day holiday, gold stores were crowded with mostly female customers. Most of them are middle-aged "Chinese housewives". This group of buyers has risen to fame recently. They are big spenders and are desperate to get their hands on a bargain. "I bought some gold jewellery and kept them as a gift for my son when he gets married," said a buyer from Shanghai.
The gold business is skyrocketing. "Our sales are growing by the day. Yesterday we sold more than ten million yuan of gold products," a gold store salesperson said. The gold rush in China started about two weeks ago thanks to a decline in global gold prices. Media reports suggest that Chinese housewives have spent about 100 billion yuan, or about 16 billion US dollars, purchasing 300 tons of gold since mid-April. That has helped support gold prices.
"Gold prices depressed since the middle of last month but have risen gradually. That is mainly due to the strong demand from Asian markets," said foreign trader Zhang Chen from Industrial & Commercial Bank of China. "Some people even joked that Chinese housewives have beaten Wall Street analysts." For Chinese people, with limited investment options, the only thing better than buying gold is buying gold at discount prices.

A.The global big dogs can’t match with Chinese housewives.
B.China's "Da Ma" help a lot to support the global economic crisis.
C.Chinese housewives spend a great deal of money on gold.
D.Chinese housewives have a better consumption idea than global financial big dogs.
2.The whole passage mainly developed_______ ?
A.by comparison B.by contrast C.by quotation D.by time order
3.We can infer about the gold rush in China from the passage?
A.The Chinese housewives are most willing to spend money in buying gold.
B.China's "Da Ma" crowded into stores to get gold as the best gifts for sons when they get married.
C.China's "Da Ma" are bigger spenders and cleverer than global financial big dogs.
