II. Cloze (10%) A.Some people despair of the young. Books describe young Americans as deluded narcissists. 11 they are special,they are now far more likely than their elders to believe that “if I ruled the world, it would be a better place” or that“somebody should write a biography of me.” They are materialistic, too. The millennials’ expectations of life are so 12with reality that “they will probably get less of what they want than any previous generation,” frets one author. Where some see a generation in crisis, others think the young are adapting quite well to the challenges of a changingworld. They flit from job to job not because they are fickle but because job security is 13 . They demand flexiblehours and work-life balance because they know they don’t have to be in the office to be productive. They spend six hoursa day online because that is how they work, and also how they relax. They take longer to settle down and have children,but so what? They will also be working far later in life than their parents did. What will the world be like when today’s young people are in charge? Some worry that it will be more cynical.Others take a cheerier view. The world will surely grow socially more liberal. Young people nearly everywhere are morecomfortable with homosexuality than their elders, partly because they are less religious but mostly because they knowmore openly gay people. Tolerance is unlikely to erode as the millennials grow older. They may move to the suburbs andbuy a car when they have children. But they will not suddenly 14 their friends who look different or love differently. In several countries the young are warier than their elders of their governments using military force, partly becausethey are the ones who get drafted. In every generation, the young are the first to take to the streets to demand reform.When the young show up at 15 , democratic governments will heed their views. And when the millennials startcalling the shots more widely in society, they will do so for a long time. For thanks to steady advances in medicaltechnology, they will remain healthy and able to work for longer than any previous generation. Indeed, if scientists’ effortsto crack the “ageing code” in human genes bear fruit, many of them will live past 120.
