题目内容:
American teenagers are driving less than ever before. Surveys of American teenagers show that American young people prefer chatting with their fiends online or playing games on the Internet to driving around in their cars.
For teenagers in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century, they had to have a car at an early age to show they were cool. Today, many teenagers have to choose between a car and the latest smart phones. With gas prices going up, car driving is becoming more expensive. For almost half of the people between 18 and 26, surfing the Internet is more important than owning a car. Young adults today meet their friends just through Facebook and chat, swap photos and play games together.
The golden age of the 50s and 60s of the 20th century when teenagers drove around just for fun is gone. In those days a shiny new car was something to boast about. It showed who you were. In 1978 about half of all 16-year-olds got their driver's licenses(驾驶执照)as soon as they had reached that age . In 2010 the figure dropped to only 30%.
Today driving is not as much fun as it was in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century. In the golden age car meant everything for young people. Another reason why teenagers drive less may be stricter driving tests and the fact that 16-year-olds must drive with experienced drivers over 21.
