The most challenging part for young people aged 18 to 34 is making new friends，a problem experienced by 46% of the people in this age group. However，only 36% of 35～54－year－old people find it hard to make friends，and even fewer people over 55(23%) have this problem.
55% of the people in the oldest age group find learning the local language is the biggest obstacle(障碍) when settling. In comparison，the youngest age group finds that easier，and the percentage of young people who have problems learning the local language is much lower，only 24%.
In contrast to their language－learning difficulties，only 22% of the people in the oldest age group have trouble finding accommodation(住所)．However，this is a significant problem for the other two age groups.

【详解】句意：别说谎！没有人应该被愚弄。fool“愚弄”，动词；根据“Nobody should be...”和中文提示可知，此处表示没有人应该被愚弄，应用被动语态，含有情态动词的被动语态的谓语结构是“情态动词+be done”，所以此空应是动词fool的过去分词fooled。故填fooled。
