What is the Age of Majority
The age of majority is a legal term used to describe the age at which a minor (未成年人) is no longer considered such. Instead, for all intents and purposes, when a person passes this age, he or she is treated as an adult with adult responsibilities. At this age, the legal control of his or her parents or guardians ceases.

Write a summary of the text.
Three young people tell us what being 18 years old means, or meant, to them. Bethany, a 16-year-old Australian girl, can't wait to be 18. She will take her driving test the day she turns 18 and she understands driving means taking responsibility for both her life and other people's lives. Lin Ning, a 19-year-old Chinese boy, has begun to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility after his 18th birthday. Turning 18 also changed the way that society viewed him. Morgan, a 20-year-old boy from the US, used to believe he would become more independent after turning 18, but his librarian's salary means he will still be living at home with his parents to save money. He believes some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.
