But what does reaching this milestone, the age of majority, really mean? Will you be completely in charge of your own life and able to express yourself in new and exciting ways? What new responsibilities will this freedom bring? Here, three young people tell us what turning 18 means, or meant, to them. 罗马帝国的第一代皇帝奥古斯都（ Augustus ）在古罗马广场（ Roman Forum ）树立了一块中央石碑，将其作为世界的中心，以此为起点每隔千步置一石碑，碑面刻有皇帝的大名，并标明到某地的距离。罗马的“千步”距离在拉丁语是 mille passus ，合写为 milliarium ，大约等于1 . 48公里。因为这些石碑代表了 milliarium 的距离，所以被也被称为 milliarium ，中文译为“里程碑”。在古罗马广场中央里的那块石碑则被称为“ Milliarium Aureum ”（金色里程碑），是古罗马广场的著名景点之一。 英语单词 mile （英里）就源自拉丁文 mille (一千) 每英里设置的界石,即“里程碑” milestone = mile (英里) + stone (石头) _________________________   _____________________________ 重要事件，重要阶段，转折点 Introduction In most countries, turning 18 marks the start of adulthood. But what does reaching this milestone, the age of majority, really mean? Will you be completely in charge of your own life and able to express yourself in new and exciting ways? What new responsibilities will this freedom bring? Here, three young people tell us what turning 18 means, or meant, to them. in charge of 主管；负责；掌控 （拓展：take charge of） Try to finish the following form. vote licence more aware of responsibility live attitude Para. 1 I can’t wait to be 18. One reason is that although I’ve been working ever since leaving school, I won’t be voting in the next general election. Why? Because I still won’t be old enough. Surely, if you’re old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes, you should be allowed to have a say on how the government spends them! I’ve also been taking driving lessons, and in fact I will be taking my driving test on the very day I turn 18. My mum worries about me being behind the wheel. As an ambulance driver, she’s seen a lot of car accidents involving teenagers and thinks the legal age for getting a driving licence should be 21. But I think I’m already mature enough to understand that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people. 1. Why can’t Bethany wait to be 18? Bethany 16, Victoria, Australia 独立词条：general election n.大选；普选 词块：have a / no say on sth在某事上有/没有发言权 熟词生义：wheel 方向盘 behind the wheel 开车 我等不及要18岁了。其中一个原因是，尽管我离开学校后一直在工作，但我不会在下一次大选中投票。为什么？因为我还不够大。当然，如果你到了可以挣工资和纳税的年龄，你应该被允许对政府如何使用它们有发言权！我也一直在上驾驶课，事实上，我将在18岁的那一天参加驾驶考试。我妈妈担心我开车。作为一名救护车司机，她见过很多涉及青少年的车祸，并认为获得驾驶执照的法定年龄应该是21岁。但我认为我已经足够成熟，能够理解驾驶汽车也意味着对自己和他人的生命负责。 Para. 2 I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university. I expected to feel instantly different, as if I had closed the door on my childhood and stepped into a whole new world. But it wasn’t like that. When I woke up the next day, there were still rules to obey and lessons to attend. 2. What did Lin Ning expect when he turned 18? What is the reality like to him? Lin Ning 19, Shanghai, China Para. 2 In fact, the change has been more subtle and gradual than I imagined. Instead of being the selfish teenager I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware of other people and develop a stronger sense of social responsibility. To give an example, I will be signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow. This was a big decision for me and I made it without asking my parents (although I knew they would approve). Turning 18 also changed the way that society viewed me. I was really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit card offer. Of course, I would like to have more freedom with money and no doubt I will be getting a credit card at some point, but I currently don’t have a steady income, so getting a credit card might tempt me to spend more money than I have! 3. What change has Lin Ning experienced after turning 18? Lin Ning 19, Shanghai, China -grad-(步；级)+-ual (形容词后缀)= gradual 一步一步的，一级一级的，即：_____________________ 逐步的；渐进的 tempt sb to do sth / tempt sb into doing sth 诱惑某人做事 Para. 3 People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives, and that we should become more independent. I used to believe this, but the reality for me has been very different. I assumed I’d already have a well-paid job and that I’d be moving into a rented apartment as soon as I turned 18, but how wrong I was! My librarian’s salary means that I’ll be living at home with my parents for a while longer. Because I contribute to the household bills and my commute to work is quite expensive, I find it hard to save any money. 4. How is the reality different from Morgan’s expectations for turning 18? Morgan 20, Florida, The US Para. 3 I’ll be starting a new job next month, however, so maybe things will get easier. I know I could get a loan to pay the deposit on my very own apartment, but I don’t feel ready to make that kind of commitment, and I do like my mom’s cooking. I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age. 5. What is Morgan’s understanding on turning 18?
