每日一题
36. one cross-generation mark of a successful life is .
[a] trying out different lifestyles
[b] having a family with children
[c] working beyond retirement age
[d] setting up a profitable business
解析：根据cross-generation mark of a successful life，定位第二段第一句across generational lines, americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful 
life. 随后作者对traditional milestones进行举例：结婚、生子、购房、60多岁退休。因此选项b为正确答案。
选项c具有一定的干扰性，实际上，作者提到的标志是“60多岁退休”，而不是“退休之后继续工作”。
