    Scientists show a number of reasons for this return to the nest．The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people．A high divorce （离婚） rate and a low remarriage rate make some differences．For some, the expense of an away - from - home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools．Even after graduation, young people find their wings tied by terrible housing costs．

    Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give security （安全保卫） and moral（道义的） support．Her mother agreed．“Its strange for the kids to pay all that money for rent．It makes sense for kids to stay at home．” But sharing the family home requires changes for all．There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy．Some families, however, manage the careful balancing act．But for others, it proves too difficult．Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times and left three times．“What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol （酒精） problem,” she explains．“He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends' houses．”

    Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake．Children, can end up with a sense of defeat and failure．And aging parents, who should be enjoying some freedom, find themselves stuck with too many things．Many agree that brief visits, however, can work well．

News of the first kind pays its rewards at once．A reader can enjoy an indirect experiencewithout any of the dangers or stresses involved．He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder，shake hishead sympathetically and safely at a hurricane，identify himself with the winning team，laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs．News of the second kind，however，pays its rewards later．It sometimes requires the reader totolerate unpleasantness or annoyance-as，for example，when he reads of the threatening foreign situation，the mounting national debt，rising taxes，falling market，scarce housing，and cancer．It has a kind of"threat value．"It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared．When a reader selects delayed reward news，he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work．When he selects news of the other kind，he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　“There is an out - of - date idea that children grow up and leave home when they're 18, and the truth is far from that,” says Mr. Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin. Today unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents. “There is a great change in the middle class,” declares Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months.

　　Scientists show a number of reasons for this return to the nest. The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people. A high divorce(离婚) rate and a low remarriage rate make some differences. For some, the expense of an away - from - home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools. Even after graduation, young people find their wings tied by terrible housing costs.

　　Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give security (安全保卫) and moral (道义的) support. Her mother agreed. “It's strange for the kids to pay all that money for rent. It makes sense for kids to stay at home. ” But sharing the family home requires changes for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the careful balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult. Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times and left three times. “What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol(酒精)problem,” she explains. “He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends' houses.”

　　Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake. Children, can end up with a sense of defeat and failure. And aging parents, who should be enjoying some freedom, find themselves stuck with too many things. Many agree that brief visits, however, can work well.
