辽宁省沈阳市2017阅读理解一轮训练（5）及答案 社会生活类 A study involving 8, 500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before. University tuition fees(学费) are currently capped at ￡3, 000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling. In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average ￡31, 000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just ￡17, 815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than ￡10, 000. Average debts for graduates are ￡12, 363. Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said, “The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively. “ |
