  The Changing Middle Class

  The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation. However,middle class is not a real designation,nor does it carry privileges.1 It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II. The economy was growing,more and more people owned their own homes,workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them,and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one. Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor,but they could become rich. Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility. In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.

  The middle class collectively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate. In addition,middle class morality embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family, obligations to others,and believing in something outside oneself. 2

  But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U. S.News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet 3. Both spouses now worked,as did some of thechildren; long commutes became routine; the need for child care put strains on4 the family; and public schools were not as good as they once were. Members of the middle cIass were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding ofjust what middle class meant was changing.

  詞匯:

  designation /dezig'nei??n/ n. 稱號(hào) commute /k?'mju:t/ n. 上下班路程

  mobility /m?u'bil?ti/ n. 流動(dòng)性

  注釋:

  1. However,middle c1ass is not a real designation,nor does it carry privileges. 然而,中產(chǎn)階級(jí)既不是一個(gè)真實(shí)的稱號(hào),也不會(huì)帶來特別待遇。

  2. In addition,middle-c1ass morality embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family,obligations to others,and believing in something outside onesèlf. 另外,中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的道德觀包括個(gè)人的責(zé)任感、家庭的重要性、對(duì)他人的使命感以及相信自我以外的事物。

  3. make ends meet:收支相抵,維持生活

  4. put strains on:帶來壓力

  練習(xí):

  1. The information in this passage deals with_______.

  A) an individual

  B) a social and economic group

  答案與題解:

  1. B 本題的問題是:本文的信息是關(guān)于?本文通篇講述美國的中產(chǎn)階級(jí),指的是社會(huì)和經(jīng)濟(jì)群體,因此選擇B。

  2. D本題的問題是:一個(gè)普遍的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)價(jià)值觀是?本篇第二段最后一句話講到,"中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的道德觀包括個(gè)人的責(zé)任感、家庭的重要性、對(duì)他人的使命感以及相信自我以外的事物"。A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)不包括在內(nèi),因此正確答案是D。

  3. C 本題的問題是:在二戰(zhàn)之后的幾年,中產(chǎn)階級(jí)可以被定義為,本篇第一段提到了當(dāng)時(shí)美國經(jīng)濟(jì)不斷增長并且人們生活水平有了提高,因此選擇C選項(xiàng),繁榮并且樂觀。

  4. C 本題的問題是:第一段中的"ln other words"這個(gè)短語與下列說法一致的是,"In other words"漢語意思是換句話來說,因此正確答案是C。

  5. A 本題的問題是:單詞"collectively"的漢語意思是"相同地",選擇A。

 Puerto Rican Cuisine(菜肴)

  Puerto Rico, a Caribbean (加勒比海區(qū)) island rich in history and remarkable natural beauty, has a cuisine all its own. Immigration(移民) to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all over the world making various contributions to it. However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents (嚙齒動(dòng)物), fresh shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.

  Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has been heavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves. Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to create new dishes. The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep to the island. Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful, contrasting tastes in dishes. In fact, much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for - coffee, coconuts, and oranges - was actually imported by foreigners to the island.

  A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy(辛辣的). lt's true that chili peppers are popular; aij caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans enjoy. However, milder(微辣的) tastes are popular too, such as sofrito. As the base of many Puerto Rican dishes, sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions, green bell peppers, sweet chili peppers, and a handful of other spices. It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.
