Answer:
D. Western culture is increasingly shaping the lives of the young adults in China.
Explanation:
In the press report, 'Why China's Youth Find Western Culture Attractive,' the speaker is remarking on the influences that western culture, America in particular, has on China's youth.
The speaker quotes a statement by Hou Xiazhou, in which the young man asserts that China's youth is very much affected by western culture. The youth of China learned skateboarding and they watch videos of how Americans skateboard.
This shows that American culture influences China's youth largely and shapes their lives.
So, the correct answer is option D.
Many nations wanted to find the U.S passage, because they wanted to find a quicker route to Asia. They thought going around Africa was way too long and going across the Mediterranean Sea was too expensive and risky. They thought that sailing west would get them to Asia in no time. In reality, it was North America and they would have to go much farther in order to get to Asia, but they did not know that back then.
