Today ?s young people in their twenties-or “20-

somethings”, are often called “millennials(千禧一代)”.

Theygrew up around the time of the millennium in the year 2000.

Like other generation, millennials share some things in common.

Millennials are staying in school longer and getting married

later. Some millennials lack full-time jobs, and many are living at

home or getting financial help from their parents.

Are these adults? The law says yes. In the United States and

many other countries, 18 is the “age of majority”. This means

people are considered old enough to be held legally responsible

for their actions. But societies usually have their own definitions

of adulthood, their own expectations for what being an adult

means.

Some researchers say today ?s 20-somethings are having a

“delayed adulthood”. In other words, they are still like

teenagers, more mature than adolescents but not quite full

adults.

Cherrssa Jessen, who is 27, might agree. She grew up in New

Jersey, not far from New York City. She says she

Room 1

The celebrity footwear section is probably the most popular

in the entire

museum. Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes

and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to

pop stars and actors! Most visitors find the celebrities ? choice of

footwear extremely interesting.

Room 3

A s well as shoes and boots the museum also exhibits shoe

shaped objects. The variety is unbelievable. For example, there is

a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and Greek wine

bottles that look like legs!

Room 2

Most of our visitors are amazed and shocked by the

collection of “special purpose” shoes on exhibition here at the

Museum of Footwear. For example, there are Chinese shoes made

of silk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent

them from growing too much.

The Footwear Library

People come from all over the world to study in our excellent

footwear library. Designers and researchers come here to look up

information on anything and everything related to the subject of

footwear.

expected to get married right after college and to find a job

near her parents. Instead, she joined an international exchange

program called Up with People.

Her job also took her to different countries. After more than

a year of traveling, she was not sure what to do. So she went back

to New Jersey and moved in with her parents. However, she was

not ready to settle down, so she moved to Denver, Colorado in

the western United States, with a friend. After almost a year, they

decided they wanted to live closer to the ocean. So they moved

across the country again, this time to Florida.

Now she is back to Washington. She is looking for a job and

living temporarily with friends. She is not sure yet how long she

will stay.

“Eventually I would like to have a family, and a more stable

professional job, but it?s really hard when there?s so much out

there in the world to see and to experience.”

Cheryssa says all her exploring has helped her to understand

herself better and to know what makes her happy.

A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous

price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force

money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.

The cost of producing a new-for example-toothpaste would

make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at £1.20. It

is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things, it

will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades,

so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to

£1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all

over it.

Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking

rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or

whatever! Even the poorest ole-age pensioner ought to regard

this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesn?t. A bargain must not be

missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever)

and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.

The real danger starts when unnecessary things

become …bargain?. Many people just cannot resist bargains.

Provided they think they are getting a bargain, the will buy

clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for.

Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw as a bargain

and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets:

the saw had been truly cheap.

Quite a few people actually believe that they make money

on such bargains. A lady once told me: “I?ve had a lucky day

today. I bought a dress for £120, reduced from £400; and I

bought a beautiful Persian carpet for £600, reduced from £900.”

It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted £720. She

feels as though she had made £580. She also feels, I am sure,

that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living

out of it.

Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper.

Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and
