Tony is a 24-year-old man from the United Kingdom. He often wears the same cloths for many days because he doesn't know how to use a washing machine.
This is not a joke. Tony is not the only young person who doesn’t have basic life skills. According to a recent study by You Gov, a UK market research company, today’s young people in the UK are less capable than older generations when it comes to basic life skills.
For example, about 35%don’t know how to sew on a button and 11% don’t understand how to change a light bulb or iron(熨) clothes.
Technology may be the main reason for this. Born and raised in an age of rapid technology process, young people know more about using phones and computers. For example, with GPS always at hand, young people have no need to learn how to read physical map. However, this does not mean that younger generations are unable to complete basic everyday tasks. The Mirror《鏡報(bào)》 noted that as their lives have changed, the life skills that they are good at have changed as well.
The study results show that although only 45% know how to pay their water and electricity bills after leaving home, 71% could help set up a Wi-Fi network in a new house.

A.Because he likes to play tricks on others B.Because he doesn’t know how to wash them.
C.Because he has developed it as a habit D.Because he doesn’t have other clothes to change into.
2.Which of the following is not found by You Gov?
A.Many young people in the UK don’t have basic life skills.
B.Younger generations in the UK don’t have better life skills than older ones.
C.Eleven percents of the young people don’t know how to iron clothes.
D.Many American young people are losing their basic life skills.
3.What does the underline word “capable” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.unable B.able C.disable D.clever
