The United States is a nation of suburbs.The1990 census（人口普查）makes it official. Nearly half the country’s population now lives in suburbs, up from a quarter in 1950 and a third in 1960.The third century of American history is shaping up as the suburban century. Until 1920 most Americans lived in rural areas. By 1960 the country was a third urban, a third rural, and a third suburban. That balance didn’t last long, however. By 1990 the urban population had slipped to 31 percent and the rural population was down to less than a quarter. We are now a suburban nation with an urban fringe and a rural fringe.The first century of American life was dominated by the rural myth: the sturdy and self-reliant Jeffersonian farmer. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, Americans were getting off the farms as fast as they could, to escape the hardship and brutality of rural life.Most of the twentieth century has been dominated by the urban myth: the melting pot; New York, New York; the cities as the nation’s great engines of prosperity and culture. All the while, however, Americans have been getting out of the cities as soon as they can afford to buy a house and a car. They want to escape the crowding and dangers of urban life. But there is more to it than escape. As Kenneth T. Jackson argues in Crabgrass Frontier, a history of suburbanization in the United States, the pull factors (cheap housing and the ideal of a suburban “dream house”) have been as important as the push factors population growth and racial prejudice).The 1990 Census tells the story of the explosive growth of suburbs. That year fourteen states had a majority suburban population, including six of the ten most populous states (California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey).Suburban growth is not likely to end anytime soon. According to the polls, 43 percent of Boston residents, 43 percent of people who live in Los Angeles, and 60 percent of those who live in New York City say they would leave the city if they could. When the Gallup Poll asked Americans in 1989 what kind of place they would like to live in, only 19 percent said a city.Is there a suburban myth? Sure there is. It has been a staple of American popular culture since the 1950s, from television shows like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and Leave It to Beaver to movies like E.T. The debunking of the suburban myth has now reached American popular culture, where television comedies about lower middle-class families like Roseanne and the Simpsons portray the harsh realities of suburban life-unemployment, troubled families, and, above all, stress.Write “A” for True or “F” for False in the brackets:___ 61. The greater part of the American population now lives in the suburbs. _ 62. Cheap housing is one of the reasons for Americans wanting to live in the suburbs. _ 63. In the U.S. a house in the suburbs is a symbol of prosperity and culture. _ 64. In 1989 most Americans still said they preferred living in urban areas.___ 65. The main part of American popular culture since the 1950s has been dominated by the suburb myth.

The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may determine whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that your objective during the interview may differ from the objective of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths, is well qualified, and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you or to trip you, but to hire the right person for the job.Remember, job hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to enhance your interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across.

You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be well, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview.

If the interviewer continues to press, give him a range or suggest the going rate for a particular job.

The octopus（章鱼）’s reputation as a human-killer isn’t simply an exaggeration — it is a total myth. The octopus can indeed be a deadly hunter, but only of its natural prey. Clams, mussels, crabs, lobsters and an occasional sick or unwary fish have reason to be frightened of this multi-armed predator, but a person is much too large to interest even the biggest octopus. Even a giant among octopuses is much smaller than most people imagine. Far from being large enough to engulf （吞下）a submarine, as monster octopuses in movies have been known to do, the largest octopuses, found on the Pacific coast, weigh around 110 pounds and grow to a diameter of no more than ten feet.The hard, parrot-like beak（嘴）of an octopus is not used for attacking deep-sea divers, but for cutting open crabs and lobsters. Indeed, the octopus possesses such a tiny throat that it cannot swallow large pieces of meat. It feeds instead by pouring digestive juices into its victims, and then sucking up the soupy remains. A clam or scallop（扇贝）that finds itself in the grasp of an octopus has only a short time to live. But human beings are perfectly safe. Still, people rarely care to go close enough to these careful creatures to get a good look at them.1.This passage is mainly about（）.2.It is implied but not stated in the passage that（）.3.Which of the following statements is true?4.The hard beak of the octopus is used for（）.5.From the passage, we can conclude that（）.

The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans, And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation’s moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and Individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that I’m in it for me has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,” Ms Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today’s greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U. S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament（挽歌）for some nonexistent “golden age,” Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful（一厢情愿的）longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice.Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. “Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can’t be bought.”1.Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans（）.2.The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by（）.3.Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities?4.In the 1950s, classroom violence（）.5.According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reversed（）.

努力工作和醉心于工作之间有很大的区别。努力工作是指工作有条有理、精力集中，完成许多工作，知道何时歇手，知道除了工作还有生活。而工作狂们常常是缺乏条理，总是寻找理由想做得更多些，没有工作可做时就感到不知所措，想通过工作来逃避问题。他们不知道怎样或何时放松一下，经常把办公室里的活儿带回家里去做，不善于和同事及家人交流沟通。

It’s often said that only the rich are getting ahead; everyone else is standing still or falling behind. Well, there are many undeserving rich—overpaid chief executives, for instance. But over any meaningful period, most people’s incomes are increasing. From 1995 to 2004, inflation-adjusted average family income rose 14.3 percent, to $43,200. People feel “squeezed” because their rising incomes often don’t satisfy their rising wants—for bigger homes, more healthcare, more education, faster Internet connections.

This problem should be discussed first for it takes（） over all the other issues.
