Young people are definitely less courageous (勇敢的) than they were 30 years ago. Why is this? It’s because they are spoiled, and take for granted everything that they have or are given.
Thirty years ago, there wasn’t nearly as much blatant (公然的) disrespect for elders, peers, or other people in general. At that time, young people were taught that to get anything or get anywhere in life, they’d have to work for it and earn it.
If young people aren’t being taught the basics of respecting others, and aren’t being taught that they need to work to make a living, then where are they to learn courage?
Courage isn’t necessarily about risking your life, for whatever reason. It is about being able to face any kind of hardship, and to make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions.
Courage means being able to learn from hard times, and to take those lessons with you through life. It means having the resourcefulness (足智多谋) to find ways to deal with your problems yourself, and not being afraid to do so.
Too many young people now rely on parents, siblings, older relatives and others to get them through life. Too often they turn to these figures whenever they get into trouble, and expect to have their problems solved for them.
If we are to help our young people become more courageous, we should stop spoiling them, stop doing everything for them, and teach them the skills necessary to make basic life decisions on their own.
Once these basic principles are instilled (灌输) in our young people, I think we’ll find that they are more courageous than we could have dreamed, and more like the young people of thirty years ago than we had ever imagined.
It’s time to go back to older values and ideas, and to bring courage back into our young people and society.

阅读下面的短文，根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
【1】Entering a study abroad program was a personal program for myself. College had not been fun up until that point. I was looking for excitement. After meeting a guy who loved to travel, he convinced me that studying abroad was one of the best decisions he had ever made and that I should try it. Immediately I visited my study abroad office and discovered many choices. I only spoke Spanish, but not fluently enough to feel comfortable in a program that was based in Spain or Mexico. This meant I needed a country that spoke English. Finally I chose the University of Central London.
【2】Many people hesitate before studying abroad because they think they__________. I went to college on loans(贷款), so a semester abroad would be no different. The additional expenses, such as food and travel, were the most expensive part of the trip. Any student travelling abroad received part of a grant donated to our school. This took almost $ 2,000 off the cost of my trip.
【3】Looking back on my experience years later, I am grateful that I took the chance and studied in London. I made a number of friends in London with locals, who are willing to help me anytime. I never felt unsafe because they would show me how to live in London, where to go and how to get anywhere I needed to go.
【4】My favorite memories in London is turn around my classwork. When studying abroad I took an English class that focused on British humor. During this class we watched British films and went to live performances. Before this class, I never understood British humor, and now I enjoy it more than American humor. My favorite class was art history. I cannot express to anyone how interesting it was to take art history in London.
【5】When people ask me if I would study abroad again, I exclaim, “yes!” You will never learn any lessons or information like you do when travelling abroad to a foreign country. As a person you will grow independent from everything. You will learn how to make friends and survive alone on your own. You will also learn to respect and understand other cultures.
