专题限时检测(十八)　阅读理解之社会现象类 (共3篇，限时23分钟) A (2014·四川成都第三次诊断)Millennials consist of people born from 1980 to 2000. In America, Millennials are known as the Meme generation, whose selfishness has only been more obvious than ever. Millennials got this way partly because, in the 1970s, people wanted to improve kids chances of success by stressing self-importance. Though they are overconfident of their places in the world, Millennials are also challenged, with a much longer life stage between teenagers and adults. Now that cell phones allow people to communicate with others at every hour, Millennials are communicating all day but almost entirely through a screen. They are deeply anxious about missing something better. However, Millennials self-importance isnt the result of over-protection but the adaptation (适应) to a more colorful world. Because of online dating, Facebook circles and the ability to connect with people internationally, Millennials no longer have to marry someone from their high school class or even their home country. So heres a more rounded picture of Millennials. They are sincere and optimistic. They are life tinkers more than dreamers. They want constant approval (认可) — they post photos from the dressing room as they try on clothes. They have a fear of missing out and have a similar name for everything. They want new experiences all the time. They love their phones but hate talking on them. So yes, we have all that data about Millennials selfishness, laziness and self-importance. But a generations greatness isnt determined by data; its determined by how they react to the challenges that fall on them, and, just as important, by how we react to them. 1．Meme generation refers to those________.
