A Kentucky（肯塔基）family took a vacation to New York City. One day，the father took his son into a rather large building. They were surprised at everything they saw—especially（特别地）the elevator（电梯）at one end of the building.

The boy asked，“What’s this，Pa?”

While the boy and his father were watching in surprise，an old lady walked slowly to the moving walls and pressed（按）a button. The walls opened and the lady walked into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small lights above the walls light up. They went on watching the lights up in the opposite direction. The walls opened again，and a beautiful young lady stepped out.

The amazed（惊愕的）father quickly turned to his son and said，“Go，get your Mom here.”

　　Life used to (过去) be interesting for teenagers. They used to have money to spend, and free time to spend it in. They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars (咖啡馆) and discos (迪斯科舞厅). Some of them still do.

But for many young people, life is harder now. Work is difficult to find. There is not so much money around. Things are more expensive, and it's hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say that students work harder than they used to.

　　They are less interested in politics(政治), and more interested in passing exams. They know that good exam results may get them better work.

　　Most young people worry more about money than their parents did twenty years ago. They try to spend less and save more. They want to be able to get homes of their own one day.
