(A)

Each generation -- from Baby Boomers to Generation X to Millennials -- has its own set of values

and characteristics. But one thing common to all generations is that they are suffering from stress. In a

recent poll by the American Psychological Association ( APA), all age groups now report higher levels of

stress than in the past. Baby Boomers (those born roughly between 1946 and 1964, and who are now

moving into their retirement years) said that they are stressed about earnings and health issues. Gen Xers

(born roughly between 1965 and 1980) are concerned about work, income, and job stability. However,

Millennials (born roughly between 1981 and 2004) are turning out to be the most stressed-out of all the

generations. Poll results indicate that stress levels for these younger respondents are significantly above

average. So what's worrying the Millennials?

56. It can be learned from the results of the APA poll that

A. All age groups are experiencing more stress than before

B. Millennials have more stress than before, but other age groups aren't

C. Compared with other age groups, Millennials have more overprotective parents

D. Stress levels are down for all age groups, but they're down the most for Millennials

Millennials are the first generation to grow in with computers in the home and the classroom. Due to

the rise of modern technology and social media, they are constantly showered with information. Over time,

this information overload can become too much to handle and can result in stress, which in turn can cause

serious physical, psychological, and emotional problems. Another contributing factor, according to author

Michael D. Hais, is that many Millennials have lived sheltered lives due to overprotective parents. These

young adults lack problem-solving skills and may struggle with fear of failure once they leave home.

Making matters worse, the 2008 economic depression occurred when many Millennials were graduating

from high school or college. The resulting economic slowdown reduced the number of available jobs for

graduates. Sure enough, in the APA poll, Millennials said that work, money, relationships, family

responsibilities, and the economy are the main stressors in their lives.

57. is a cause of worry across all generations.

A. Health

B. Occupation

C. Money

D. Weak economy
