When are you an adult (成年人)？

When do you think you are an adult ? Maybe different __31_ have different ideas.

Now let’s see what some American teenagers(青少年)say .

Sam: In  32 idea ,you are an adult at the  33  of 18. That’s when you can vote(投票)。You can help to   34  who rules(統(tǒng)治)the whole country .That’s also a grown-up does! My grandfather couldn’ t vote   35 he was 21.They changed（改變） it to 18 in 1971.

Jenny：I don’t 36  it’s hard to say . I can drive a car at 16, can’t I ?When you have a driver’s licence , you can 37 it to people to tell them your age for all kinds of things .  38    sixteen must be the age when you change from a  39  person to an adult.Because you can tell others you are not a  40   any more .

Suzie : Well , I think there is  41   wrong with American laws for when young people can  42  things . I can vote at 18 and drive at 16. So you would think 18 is a grown-up,  43  16 isn’t .But then I can’t drink wine（酒）until I’m 21 ! If I’m 44   an adult at 18, how can people stop me from  45   a cup of beer in a bar ?
