While many young people may resist getting a real job or becoming independent, these are the things that make you happy and give you purpose. Some people underestimate the satisfaction of working, thinking they'll be miserable. The 20-somethings that do work are happier than those who don' t or are underemployed.
If you invest in your career early，you'll have longer to build it up. 70% of wage growth happens in the first 10 years, so you need to get the best job you can get and negotiate your salary. No one can be sure that people who will wait until their 30s to get going are expecting to experience later to catch up with those of their ages.
Many 20-somethings don't know what they want to do, so they hang around the house or in. low-level jobs waiting for the spirit to move them. Not making a choice is a choice. These 20-somethings think they are keeping their options open, but they are actually closing doors. Resumes start to look thin, their peers(同龄人) begin surpassing them and they may get stuck in underemployment.
It will take about 10,000 hours(or about five years)to really master their jobs. If you're wondering why colleagues seem so smart and confident, it's partly because they've been doing it longer. Young people should learn as much as they can in their first jobs and remember it will take some time to really get good.
The 20-something brain is still developing, which is in charge of critical emotion with reason. This, coupled with less on-the-job experience, means 20-somethings are more sensitive to surprise and criticism. They are more likely to take feedback personally. Step back and get some perspective. You're not going to be fired because your boss is angry. Hear the criticism and learn from it.
The brain doesn't fully mature until your mid-20s, particularly the parts that plan for the future and manage emotions. That doesn't mean you should sit around and wait for it to develop. In. fact, what you learn and experience in your 20s becomes hardwired into your brain and this is the best chance you have to change your brain and change how you think and react. What people do in their 20s determines who they'll be as adults.

(答案→)A 解析：很多20几岁的年轻人觉得自己在这个世界上还有大把时间，怎么度过自己的20几岁无关紧要。但事实是，20几岁的人生轨迹非常重要。你在20几岁奠定下的人生基础将会决定你的一生。所以，认真对待自己20几岁的时光吧。【小题1】A 主旨大意题。最后一句话“What people do in their 20s determines who they'll be as adults.二十几岁时所做的事情将决定这些年轻人以后的样子”就是文章的主旨，换句话说：如何度过20几岁将会决定你的一生。【小题2】B推理判断题。根据第一段“很多年轻人不愿意去找份‘像样的工作’或者独立生活，但正是这些东西让你变得快乐、给了你人生的目标。有一些人会低估工作满意度的重要性，觉得憋在格子间里的工作生不如死。真相是，有工作的20几岁的年轻人比那些没有工作的同龄人要活得更快乐。”可以推断出B项正确。同同时可以排除A项（不是所有的人，其范围过大。应是不是所有的年轻人）；也可以排除C项（不选择也是一种选择）和D项(抓住机会找到好工作)。【小题3】D 词义猜测题。上文“The 20-something brain is still developing, which is in charge of critical emotion with reason. 20几岁人的负责用理智控制情感的大脑还处在发育的阶段”和下文“This, coupled with less on-the-job experience, means 20-somethings are more sensitive to surprise and criticism. ……，这就意味着20几岁的年轻人对于意外和批评会表现得更加情绪化。”我们知道“造成年轻人对于意外和批评会表现得更加情绪化的原因又两个：一是大脑还处在发育的阶段；二是年轻人的工作经验较少”。这两个原因是并列关系，因此划线部分的词组意思应该是“同时，加上”的意思。故选D项combined with(与……结合在一起)。【小题4】C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句话“Step back and get some perspective. You're not going to be fired because your boss is angry. Hear the criticism and learn from it.退后一步，从不同角度多想想。你不会因为老板生气了，你就被炒鱿鱼。多听听批评意见，并从中学习经验教训”这是作者给年轻人的建议，当然也就是他所赞同的观点“从批评中吸取教训”。故C项正确。
