The post-1990s generation is often described as self-centered and always asking for help. However, research results have painted a rather different picture: The post-1990s generation is independent, strong- minded and hard-working, according to a Peking University report.
When it comes to learning and working, over 60 percent think their own interests are more important than others’ opinions. Most of them see successful businessmen as their idols (偶像). But it’s not because they are rich. “Their strong belief in themselves and never-give-up spirit have won the hearts of the generation.” said the report.
In addition, the post-1990s generation has a strong sense of social responsibility. Many of them have taken part in volunteer work. They also try to be responsible by studying hard and behaving well.
In the UK, many of the post-1990s generation have given up the drinking habits that the past generations had, The Telegraph noted. Most of them now have healthier hobbies, such as gardening and cooking.
It’s hard to find time for a hobby if you are going out drinking, Kate Payne, author of The Hip Girl’s Guide to Homemaking, told The Telegraph.
Changes in their hobbies have also helped them learn good manners. The Youth Justice Statistics report in the UK showed that young people are less rude and noisy in public.
However, a generation’s trails (轨迹) don’t belong to every single person in it. “It’s what you do that can make you the kind of person you want to be.” said Cheng Dongfeng, director of West Anhui University.

25、 Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in moderndaily life.
Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for war. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later.
By watching the way birds fly, Leonardo tried to find out the secret of flying. Among his sketches(素描), we can see several objects. We consider them as modern flying machines. Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time. He developed ideas for labor — saving machines like cutting machines.
Leonardo was a strange man. He didn’t eat any meat, which was very unusual in those times. He never published(发表) his ideas and scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left.
We have very few of his works today. Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings. He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect. No one in his life time knew how great Leonardo was. We now believe, however, that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known.
