RisingInequalityIsHoldingBacktheU.S.Economy
[A]In announcing his run for the presidencylast month, Jeb Bush has set an ambitious goal of 4 percent real
growth in gross domestic product (GDP).This goal has been greeted with substantial skepticism from parts of the
economics establishment,while some economists havepraised itasa “worthy andviable aspiration”thatcouldbe
achieved with growth-oriented policies. Our recent research implies that a 4 percent growth goal for first term of
the next President is not only possible, but is what we should strive to achieve. Like Hubbard andWarsh, veteran
Republican economic policymakers, we agree that the U.S. needs policies that raise labor force participation,
accelerateproductivitygrowthandimproveexpectations.Wherewepartwaysisthetactics.
[B]Their recommendations focus on supply-side policies, such as tax reform, regulatory reform, reduced
tradefrictionandeducationandtraining.Ourresearchimpliesthataweakdemandsideexplainsthesluggish(萧条
的)recovery from the Great Recession, with the rise of income inequality as a central factor. Consequently, our
policy prescriptions revolve around increasing the take-home pay of the majority of American households. The
Great Recession, which began in December2007, was the most severe American economic downturn in
three-quarters of a century. Most economists did not anticipate ahead of time that this kind of thing couldhappen,
althoughwewarnedthat“itcouldgetuglyoutthere”inOctober2007.
[C] But as the severity of the recession became apparent in the dark days of late 2008 and early 2009, many
economists predicted a swift bounce-back, reasoning from historical evidence that deep downturns are followed
4by rapid recoveries. Sadly, that prediction was also incorrect. The growth path following the Great Recession has
been historically sluggish. Our recent research, supported by the Institute for New Economic Thinking, helps
explainwhy:Theeconomicdragfromdecadesofrisingincomeinequalityhasheldbackconsumerspending.
[D]Our work studies the link between rising income inequality and U.S. household demand over the past
several decades. From the middle 1980s until the middle 2000s, American consumers spent liberally despite the
fact that income growth stagnated(停滞)for most of the population. We show that the annual growth rate of
household income slowed markedly in 1980 for the bottom 95 percent of the income distribution, while income
growth for the top 5 percent accelerated at the same time. The result was the widely discussed rise of income
inequality.
[E]It is also well known that household debt grew rapidly during this period. Our work points out that the
buildup of debt relative to income was concentrated in the bottom 95 percent of the income distribution. Debt to
income for the top 5 percent bounced around with little clear trend:When the financial crisis hit, our work shows
thatthebottom95percentofAmericanscouldnolongergettherisingdebttheyneededtocontinuetospendalong
thetrendtheyestablishedintheyearsleadinguptothecrisis.Theresultwasasharpcutbackinhouseholddemand
relativetoincomethatcausedthecollapseoftheGreatRecession.
[F]What about the recovery? Household demand in 2013(the most recent observation we have because our
computations incorporate data that are released with a lag and are available at an annual frequency only)was a
stunning 17.5 percent below its pre-recession trend, with no sign of recovering back toward the trend. What
happened? Our research implies that the cutoff of credit for the group of households falling behind as income
inequalityrosepreventedtheirspendingfromrecoveringtoitspre-recessionpath.
[G]While there is no reason to necessarily expect that consumer spending will follow a constant trend over
long periods of time, the practical reality is that the U.S. economy needed the pre-recession trend of demand to
maintain adequate growth and at least a rough approximation of full employment prior to 2007. In the middle
2000s, there was no sign of excess demand in the U.S. economy. Inflation was tame and interest rates were low.
Wage growth was stagnant.Although some gradual slowing in long-term U.S. growth might have been predicted
as the large baby-boom generation ages, the overall labor force participation rate was actually rising prior to the
recession, so there was no reason to expect any significant decline in labor resources in the years immediately
following2007.
[H]Yes, the way manyAmericans were financing their demand was unsustainable, but there is no indication
thatbusinessescouldnotsustainablycontinuetoproducealongthepre-recessiontrendiftheyhadbeenabletosell
theoutput.Ourinterpretation ofthe evidenceis thatthe demanddragthat couldbe expected asthe resultof rising
inequality is, after a delay of a-quarter century, finally constraining the U.S. economy. Intuition, theory and
evidence predict that high-income people spend, on average, a smaller share of their income than everyone else
does. So as a higher share of income goes into the pockets of the well-to-do, the household sector as a whole is
likelytorecyclelessofitsincomebackintospending,whichslowsthepathofdemandgrowth.
[I]Apossible problemwith this prediction for the U.S. in recentyears is thatincome inequality began to rise
in the early 1980s, but household demand remained strong through 2006. Our argument is that the demand drag
fromrisinginequalitywaspostponedbythebuildupofdebt:Thebottom95percentborrowedratherthancutback
their spending when their income growth slowed. But as the crisis hit, lending to households collapsed, and the
trendofrisingdebtcouldnotcontinue.
[J]The effectof rising inequality has hitthe economy hard.As a result, today’s economy is underperforming.
No one can know precisely how much of the stagnation in household demand is due to the rise of inequality, but
our estimates imply that the current path of total demand in the economy is at least 10 percent below where it
would have been with the income distribution of the early 1980s. Where demand goes, so follows output and
employment. This analysis links to the call for 4 percent growth. Considering conventional estimates of the
long-term trendgrowth of theeconomy,a4 percentgrowthrate through the nextU.S. President’s firstterm would
go a long way toward closing the gap in output that opened with the collapse of household spending in the Great
5Recessionandhasyettobefilled.
[K]How can we move toward this goal? Our research strongly implies that the main problem is on the
demand side, not the supply side. The U.S. needs to find a way to boost demand growth by arresting, and
hopefully reversing, the dramatic rise of inequality, The basic argument is exceedingly simple: The economy
continues to beheldbackby insufficienthousehold spending, and ifthe income shareofAmericans outsideofthe
topsliver rises,householdspendingwillincrease.Policies thatraise theminimumwage andreducethetaxburden
oflow-andmiddle-incomehouseholdswouldhelp.
[L]In our view, however, the best method to achieve this objective would be to restore wage growth across
theincome distribution as occurredinthe decadesafterWorldWar Ⅱ.Meeting this objective is challenging fora
variety of reasons, including the fact that there remains no clear consensus about what has caused the rise of
American economic inequality. But the need to address inequality is not just a matter of social justice; it also is
importanttogettheeconomybackontherighttrackaftermorethansevenyearsofstagnation.Wecandobetter.

Musicians—from karaokesingers toprofessionalviolinplayers—arebetterabletoheartargetedsoundsina
noisy environment, according to a piece of new research that adds to evidence that music makes the brain work
better.
“In the past ten years there’s been an explosion of research on music and the brain,” Aniruddh Patel, the
SeniorFellowattheNeurosciencesInstituteinSanDiego,saidtodayatapressbriefing.
Most recently brain-imaging studies have shown that music activates many diverse parts of the brain,
includinganoverlapwherethebrainprocessesmusicandlanguage.
Language is a natural aspect to consider in looking at how music affects the brain, Patel said. Like music,
languageis“universal,there’sastronglearningcomponent,anditcarriescomplexmeanings.”
Forexample,brainsofpeopleexposedtoevencasualmusicaltraininghaveanenhancedabilitytogenerate
6the brain wave patterns associated with specific sounds, be they musical or spoken, said study leader Nina Kraus,
directoroftheAuditoryNeuroscienceLaboratoryatNorthwesternUniversityinIllinois.
Kraus’ previous research had shown that when a person listens to a sound, the brain wave recorded in
response is physically the same as the sound wave itself. In fact, “playing” the brain wave produces a nearly
identicalsound.
But for people without a trained ear for music, the ability to make these patterns decreases as background
noise increases, experiments show. Musicians, by contrast, have subconsciously trained their brains to better
recognizeselectivesoundpatterns,evenasbackgroundnoisegoesup.
At the same time, people with certain developmental disorders, such as dyslexia(阅读障碍症),have a
harder time hearing sounds amid the noise—a serious problem, for example, for students straining to hear the
teacherinanoisyclassroom.
Musical experience could therefore be a key therapy for children with dyslexia and similar
language-relateddisorders,Kraussaid.
In a similar vein, Harvard Medical School neuroscientist Gottfried Schlaug has found that stroke patients

In his research, Schlaug demonstrated the results of intensive musical therapy on patients with lesions(损

“The underdeveloped systems on the right side of the brain that respond to music became enhanced and

PassageTwo
Questions51to55arebasedonthefollowingpassage.
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.All kinds of people describe themselves
asshy:short,tall,dull,intelligent,young,old,slim,overweight.Shypeopleareanxiousandself-conscious;thatis,
they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly
occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I
wearingunattractiveclothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely. A person’s self-concept is
reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general,
the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. For instance, people who
have a positive sense of self-worth or high self-esteem usually act with confidence. Because they do not need
constantpraise andencouragementfromothers to feelgood aboutthemselves. Self-confidentpeopleparticipatein
life enthusiastically and spontaneously. They are not affected by what others think they “should do”. People with
high self-esteem are not hurt by criticism; they do not regard criticism as a personal attack. Instead, they view a
criticismasasuggestionforimprovement.
Incontrast, shypeople,havinglowself-esteem, arelikelytobepassive andeasilyinfluencedbyothers.They
need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it
confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are
unworthyofpraise.Ashypersonmayrespondto acomplimentwith a statementlike this one:“You’re justsaying
that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality,
overdoingitisdetrimental,orharmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with
determined and patient effort in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of
self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example, most
people would like to be “A” students in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because
theyhavedifficulty insome areas.People’sexpectations ofthemselves mustberealistic. Living ontheimpossible
