Young Americans Are Less Wealthy Than Their Parents
The cost of living in the United States is going up, notes writer Alissa Quartz.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂As is reported in New York Post, Quartz points to “the costs of housing, education
and health care in particular. ” At the same time, a new study, the report of which is
called “The Fading American Dream” found that half of Americans born in the 1980s
are falling behind their parents economically.
These findings show that many younger adults are experiencing “downward
mobility. ” In other words, they are not doing as well economically as their parents
were at the same age. The idea of downward mobility is especially troubling for
Americans, writes Robert Samuelson in The Washington Post. He says most U. S.
citizens believe that, over time, the amount of money they earn will rise and life will
get easier.
Alissa Quartz wrote a book about the financial difficulties of Americans. In the
book, Quartz tells about teachers who are struggling to pay for regular costs. One
high school teacher drives for ride sharing service Uber at night to earn more money.
He corrects students’ papers between riders.
A college professor turned to government assistance to feed her child and pay
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂for a doctor. Quartz says even lawyers increasingly cannot earn an income that
enables them to meet their needs. The problem of decreasing incomes in their field is
made worse by debt they may have from law school. Quartz and the economists who
studied these issues say many things have led to lower incomes and downward
mobility. The economic recession(衰退) of 2007 to 2009 is partly to blame, they
say. Modern technology also plays a part. Quartz says robots threaten to reduce the
earnings of health care workers, reporters, and people who work at supermarkets,
drug stores and tax preparation services. In The Washington Post, Robert Samuelson
noted that poor schools, a weak housing industry and too many government rules are
also to blame.
With all these things, and more, partly responsible, what is the solution?
These experts say the answer is complex. But all point to one issue that needs to be
examined: economic inequality. Quartz writes that while America is one of the
richest countries in the world, it also has one of the biggest divides between the
wealthy and the poor.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂The researchers in “The Fading American Dream” study make a similar
observation. They say raising GDP will not significantly improve the economic
situation of most Americans. A higher GDP may help only those who are already
doing well. Instead, the economists say, the United States could try to repeat
something Americans born in the 1940s experienced. As those children grew up,
they almost all benefited from a better economy.
【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。文章指出美国现在年轻人的经济条件远比不上
他们父母在他们这个年纪时的经济状况。文中提出了老师在经济上的困难作为
例子, 而造成这一情况的原因非常复杂, GDP的上升只不过对于那些情况已经很
好的人有所帮助而已。经济学家指出, 美国可以效仿 40年代美国人所经历的事,
或许可以使下一代获利。
1. The author mentions two reports in Paragraph 1 in order to ______.
A. explain the results of two researches
B. introduce his opinions about the issue

更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂【解析】选D。推理判断题。文章第一段提出了两个报告, 在《纽约邮报》的报
告中指出在住房、教育、医疗等方面的花费较多, 在“消逝的美国梦”这一报
告中指出约有五成的80后美国人在经济上不如他们的父母。文章第一段提出这
两个研究作为本文的论点, 用以引出后文的论据。文中第二段 These findings
show that many younger adults are experiencing “downward mobility. ”指代的第一
段提到的两个报告, 而这两个报告是关于“downward mobility”, 故D项正确。
2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The causes of downward mobility.
B. The influences of government rules.
C. The negative effects of modern technology.
D. The results of economic recession in America.
【解析】选A。主旨大意题。该段首先提出了两个例子, 一是大学教授要申请政
府补助来养小孩、看医生, 二是一些律师也要还在法律学校时的账单。Quartz和
一些研究此现象的经济学家指出引发低收入和经济衰退的原因是非常复杂的,
接着又进行举例, 如 2007-2009 年的经济衰退, 现代科技的发展可能会减少某些
工作人员的收入。《华盛顿邮报》中, 罗伯特·萨缪尔森指出, 糟糕的学校、疲软

主要是分析“向下流动”的原因。故A项正确。
3. The author indicates in this passage that ______.
A. raising GDP will greatly help the poor
B. American economy has a bright future
C. young Americans will repeat their parents’ experience
D. it’s necessary to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor
【解析】选 D。细节理解题。文中最后一段提到“A higher GDP may help only
those who are already doing well. ” GDP 的增长只会有利于那些情况还不错的人,
不会帮助穷人, 故A项错误。文中第一段提到 “The Fading American Dream”这
一报告, 已经是“消逝的美国梦”, 美国经济未来堪忧, 故 B 项错误。文中第二
段提到“they are not doing as well economically as their parents were at the same
age. ”现在的美国人无法达到他们父母在这个年纪时取得的经济成就, 故C项错
误。文中第五段提到“what is the solution? These experts say the answer is
complex. But all point to one issue that needs to be examined: economic inequality.
”解决经济问题的答案虽然很复杂, 但是有一项是必须要解决的, 即贫富差距。

B
About six years ago I was going through a tough time, trying to work two jobs
to afford my rent. On a cold Sunday morning, I went to Game Stop—a video game
retailer(零售商), to cancel the game I’d booked. A woman in a car parked outside
called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight, I was shy about
it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldn’t walk and
requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game, for her as her son’s Christmas
gift. Because of her leg disease it was painful for her to move around. She called
ahead but the employee(雇员)wasn’t willing to help. She gave me about $ 100 in
cash and her credit card.
I walked back in and bought the Kinect. Then it occurred to me that this
woman, a complete stranger, trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying
about the payment method and just pocket her cash? She couldn’t know I wasn’t a
cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much?
I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her card—it was above
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂$ 100 at the time, and handed over the game and her credit card. “This is what my
son’s been longing for. Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know
you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an
angel! ” she said. She gave me $ 10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove
away.
She had no idea how much of a difference even $ 10 made. I was able to buy a
few cheap groceries for the week and it really made a hard time in my life a little
better. She may think I helped her; however, I truly feel like the one who was being
gifted something amazing.
【文章大意】本文为记叙文。文章介绍了作者曾经因为生活艰难, 去取消早先
预定的游戏; 在离开商店时, 汽车里一个妇女因为腿部疾病不能四处走动, 她把
钱和卡递给作者, 请他帮忙买游戏。这名妇人对作者的信任让他很惊讶。但是
这名妇女告诉作者, 他是那种让人看了就知道会帮助人的人, 并且给了作者10美
元作为酬谢。也许这名妇人认为作者给予了她帮助, 但是作者认为他才是那个
得到帮助的人。

取消了预定的游戏, 故选A。

Hobbies are praised as a key to stress reduction. Becoming lost in the mental
concentration or physical action which you are deeply interested in helps you shift
focus from the parts of life that are stressful. 2 And in turn you are more
peaceful when working on other work.
3 Many people set goals with their hobbies that provide them satisfaction
when these goals have been achieved. These goals can be simple, like improving a
golf score, writing a certain number of pages for a novel each day or seeing an entire
collection of classic films.
Hobbies provide a sense of community when you meet other people who enjoy
similar activities. 4 More populated cities typically have numerous clubs or
groups for people to share their knowledge and enthusiasm about a particular hobby.
Becoming a member of one of these organizations allows greater growth within your
hobby, as well as a chance to make new friends.
Having a hobby can develop a talent that makes a person feel proud and
satisfied. For example, a tennis hobby developed at a young age can lead to a career
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂as a professional athlete one day. 5 For example, writer Vladimir Nabokov also
collected butterflies, which allowed him to do better in his chosen fields because he

B. Hobbies also provide a sense of achievement.
C. Some hobbies affect other aspects of your life.
D. There are a variety of hobbies.
