But it is nt tasty fd like avcad, fast fashin r even travel abrad that’s hlding a generatin back frm achieving thse traditinal milestnes --- and we finally have sme evidence t prve it. In fact, thse aged 18 t 30 are mre likely t be savers than any ther age grup, accrding t new research. Far frm being wasteful,an verwhelming 84% f these yung peple are trying t save.
The real prblem lies in the fact that yunger peple tend t have higher expense when spending n essentials cmpared t ur lder cunterparts(对应的人)--- and that huse prices are at an all-time high.

White was ne f the first clrs used in art in the 15th century, and ne wuld think that there is little rm left t imprve its “whiteness”. It turns ut that is far frm the case. A team f researchers led by Xiulin Ruan,a prfessr at Purdue University,recently revealed an “ultra-white”paint that they believe culd even help fight climate change.
The scientists,wh spent six years creating the wrld’s“whitest white” paint, claim that the white paints currently available make surfaces warmer rather than cler. That’s because they nly reflect 80 t 90 percent f the sunlight and cannt make surfaces cler than the surrunding temperature. The newly-revealed ultra-white paint nt nly reflects 98.1 percent f sunlight, but als prevents surface infrared(红外线的)heat frm being absrbed.
“Our paint absrbs 1.9% fsunlight,but thse cmmercial paints absrb 10% f the sunlight --- five times as much as ur paint absrbs,” Dr.Ruan says."They lk white, they are pretty white, but they aren’t white enugh ---they’re nt able t cl beynd the surrunding temperature.”
Outdr tests f the new paint indicated it culd keep surfaces 5°C cler than the surrunding temperature under the strng nn sunlight and as much as 10°C cler at night.
“We did a very rugh calculatin,” Dr. Ruan tld a news reprter.“And we estimate we wuld nly need t paint 1 percent f the Earth's surface with this paint --- perhaps an area where n peple live that is cvered in rcks --- and that culd help fight the climate change trend.”
Hwever,Hashem Akbari, prfessr f building at Cncrdia University, believes the paint’s real benefits can nly be prved after being in use fr a few years. “Dirt and dust tend t decrease the reflectivity f the surface.” Akbari said.“If it starts with 95% reflectivity, the pllutants frm the air culd cllect n the surface, and they decrease the reflectivity.”
What des the text intend t tell us?
A new clr has been fund. B.A new paint has been created.
C. Climate change is under cntrl. D. New research is causing argument.
33.What des the underlined wrd“they”in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The surfaces. B.The scientists.
C.The traditinal paints. D.The tw kinds fclrs
34.What can be inferred abut Dr. Ruan’s new paint?
A.It absrbs less sunlight. B.It has been widely used.
C. It makes surfaces warmer.D. It functins nly in the daytime.
35.What is Hashem’s attitude t the new paint?
A. Reserved. B.Optimistic. C.Disappinted. D.Uninterested.
