Passage 2
THE FACE-DOWN GENERATION
People born in the 2000s are called the oh-ohs. They are young, creative, connected, global, and smart.
21世纪出生的人被称为“oh-oh”。他们年轻、有创造力、联网、全球化、聪明。
Some adults worry that they're more interested in the screen. They are considered as "face-down generation" because they use their phones so much. Other adults worry that today's youth don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents" who helped them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities. Therefore, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
一些成年人担心他们对屏幕更感兴趣。他们被认为是“低头一代”，因为他们太频繁地使用手机。其他的成年人担心今天的年轻人不想面对成人生活的挑战。许多90后和00后的孩子都是由“直升机父母”抚养长大的，他们帮孩子安排满了家庭作业和课外活动。因此，今天的年轻人似乎更喜欢像青少年一样生活，即使他们已经是20多岁或30多岁。
But they are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities.
但与过去几代人相比，他们受到了更好的教育，也更有创造力。他们似乎也热情并且愿成为领导人。越来越多的年轻人志愿帮助他们的社区。
So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future.所以如果你是零零后的其中一员，那就有理由对未来充满希望。
