21、bout how the economy was ruining their life plans, I couldnt help but think the 20-somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled children who grew up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment: my husband and I probably wont be able to buy
22、 a house until were in our 40s, and we too are burdened by student loans(贷款). But why should it be any different?

25、y on the beach in Thailand for five years.Yes, its sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks peoples
26、 expectations are slowly adjusting, but todays 20-somethings grew up at a time when everyones wealth appeared to be expanding.

27、f what living well means,” says Kobliner.This recession(衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group.

No matter how many times the little ones stumble in their first efforts, most keep on trying, determined to master their amazing new skill. It is only several years later, many psychologist
33、s and teachers agree, that a good number of kids seem to lose their natural drive to succeed. For the parents of such kids, whose own ambition is often tied to their childrens success, it can be a painful experience.Figuring out why the fire went out is the first step. Assuming that a kid doesnt suf
34、fer from a learning disability, or isnt involved in some family crisis(危机 ) at home, many educators attribute a sudden lack of motivation to a fear of failure or classmate pressure. “Everything is within the kids control; their intelligence is changeable,” says Lisa Blackwell, a research scientist a
35、t Columbia University. More than any teacher or workshop, Blackwell says, “parents can play a key role in conveying this message to their children by praising their effort, and progress rather than emphasizing their smartness or praising high performance alone. Most of all, parents should let their
36、kids know that mistakes are a part of learning.”Some experts say our education system, with its strong emphasis on testing and separation of students into different levels of ability, also bears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids. “These programs shut down the motivation of all kids w

Howard and other educators say its important to expose kids to a world beyond homework and tests, through volunteer work, sports, hobbies and other extracurriculum activities. “The probl
38、em of the issue is that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambitions,” says Michael Nakkual, a Harvard education professor. The key to getting kids to aim higher at school is to free them of the idea that class work is irrelevant, to show them how doing well at

They need to understand that you have to learn to walk before you can run.51According to the passage, the parents of kids with no ambition .Adont do a very good job teaching them to walk Bare to blame if the kids do poorly in schoolCfeel
