单选题 Financial independence is one of the many markers used to designate the crossover from childhood into young adulthood, and it's a milestone most Americans think young adults should reach by the age of 22. But that's not the reality for most young adults who've reached this age. The share of young adults who could be considered 'financially independent' from their parents by their early 20s has gone down somewhat in recent decades. A new Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data finds that, in 2018, 24% of young adults were financially independent by age 22 or younger, compared with 32% in 1980. Looking more broadly at young adults aged 18 to 29, the share who are financially independent has been largely stable in recent decades. Overall, young men are more likely than young women to be financially independent, but this gender gap has diminished significantly. The new survey findings underscore the extent to which many young adults are financially reliant on their parents. Some 45% of adults aged 18 to 29 say they have received a lot of or some financial help from their parents in the past 12 months. According to parents of young adults, those shares may be even higher. About six-in-ten parents with children aged 18 to 29 say they have given their kids at least some financial help in the past year. A majority of young adults who have received financial help from their parents say at least some ofit was for recurring expenses. Six-in-ten say the money went toward household expenses such as groceries or bills, and significant shares used it to pay their tuition, rent or mortgage. Beyond financial independence, the pace with which young adults are reaching other markers of adulthood has slowed significantly over the past several decades. Today's young adults are staying in school longer and are marrying and establishing their own households later than previous generations. A growing share are living in their parents' homes well into their 20s and even early 30s. Some of these changes are linked to economic challenges, while others may represent a rearrangement of goals and priorities.

单选题 Poverty and the all-consuming worry that comes with it require so much mental energy that the poor have little brain power left to devote to other areas of life, according to the findings of an international study published on Thursday. Harvard economist SendhilMullainathan finds that the mental strain could be costing poor people up to 13 IQ (Intelligence Quotient) points, which means they are more likely to make mistakes and bad decisions that increase and keep their financial worries. 'The results suggest that when you are poor, money is not the only thing in short supply. Cognitive (认知的)capacity is also stretched thin,' he said. In a series of experiments, researchers from Harvard, Princeton and other universities in North America and from Britain's University of Warwick found that urgent financial worries had an immediate impact on poor people's ability to perform well in cognitive and logic tests. Far from signaling that poor people are stupid, the results suggest those living on a tight budget have their effective brain power, or what the researchers called 'mental bandwidth,' highly limited by the stress of making ends meet. On average, someone weighed down by money worries showed a drop in cognitive function in one part of the study that was comparable to a 13-point drop in IQ, and similar to the performance deficit expected from someone who has missed a whole night's sleep. 'Previous views of poverty have blamed it on personal failings, on an environment that is not helpful to success,' said Jiaying Zhao, an assistant professor of psychology. 'We are arguing that the lack of financial resources itself can lead to less active cognitive function,' she said. Professor EldarShafir said it was not stress in general, but financial worries in particular, that led to a reduced ability to make sound decisions. 'The poor are often highly effective at focusing on and dealing with urgent problems,' he said. 'But they don't have leftover bandwidth to devote to other tasks. So, if you live in poverty, you're more likely to make errors and errors cost you more dearly—it's hard to find a way out.'
