Maybe You're Right on Time. By Rachel Feintzeig So many of us have a secret, internal timeline we're always measuring ourselves against: the ideal age we'd like to get that degree, get married, reach a certain title at work. Our fantasy chronology hasn't evolved much over the years. A 2018 Stanford University study of people ages 25 to 94 found that all generations agreed around 26 is the right age to get married, 27 the time to buy a house and 28 the moment to start a family. What if it's not? Instead of feeling pressure to hit life events on someone else's timeline, maybe it's fine to make our own. Danielle Ponder had a career as a lawyer before dedicating herself to singing full time. Working as a public defender in Rochester, N.Y., Danielle Ponder would frequently Google, "Did anyone make it after the age of 35?" At one point, she quit her day job, only to return a year and a half later, thwarted by the pandemic and disappointing bookings. On the last day of 2021, five days before her 40th birthday, she tried again. This time, quitting her job led to a debut solo album, television appearances and sold-out shows. "I don't know if I could survive this happening to me at 19," she says. She thinks her insecure teen self wouldn't have handled the stress of the public eye well. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.timeline英 [ˈtaɪmlaɪn] 美 [ˈtaɪmlaɪn] n. ____________________________ 2.chronology英 [krəˈnɒlədʒi] 美 [krəˈnɑːlədʒi] n. ____________________________ 3.evolve英 [ɪˈvɒlv] 美 [ɪˈvɑːlv] v. ____________________________ 4.hit v. ____________________________ 5.thwart英 [θwɔːt] 美 [θwɔːrt] v. ____________________________ 6.sold-out英 [səʊld aut] 美 [sold aʊt] adj. ____________________________ 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。
