If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking too. Right? But 1 do other people think about your generation(同辈人)?
Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will 2 school, friends, and family. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in 3 life or "IRL" as you would say?
Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(宠坏的) and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many people born in the 1990s and 2000s were 4 by "helicopter parents" who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricula activities such as dancing, drawing and sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers 5 when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a 6 ? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are used to working with powerful digital(数码的) tools that allow them to work on their own as well as team up with others. 7 , because they could learn about people and cultures around the globe from an early age, they developed a greater understanding of diversity(多样性) and the importance of finding their own identities(身份). When facing difficulties, they are the first to step forward and seem to be more 8 to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their 9 , taking part in activities like elderly care, neighbourhood cleanup, first aid and safety training. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.
So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be 10 about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud).

3.从“texting and taking selfies”以及“IRL(in real life)”可知，这里说的是现实生活，“real life”符合表达，所以选A。
4.年轻人是被父母抚养，“raised”有“抚养、养育”的意思，“trusted”信任；“invited”邀请；“introduced”介绍，均不合适，所以选A。
5.“even”表示强调，这里说年轻人甚至在二三十岁时还像青少年一样生活，符合语义递进，所以选C。
