A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual(體力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪華地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily got from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
In America, people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man.
In America, people can always rise to the top through their own efforts.
In America, college professors win great respect from common workers.
In America, people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.
Why does the hostess mentioned in the passage cook dinner herself?
Because servants in America are hard to get.
Because she takes pride in what she can do herself.
Because she can hardly afford servants.
Because it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food.
What does the underlined phrase “wait on table” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Work in a furniture shop. B. Keep accounts for a bar.
C. Wait to lay the table. D. Serve customers in a restaurant.
What is the passage mainly about?
A respectable self-made family.
American attitude toward manual labor.
Characteristics of American culture
The development of manual labor.

You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing (令人沮喪的 )tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative (消極的 ) people can wash your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win other’s pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirits stay happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首)of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to negative person, but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附著)you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
【小題1】The purpose of the first paragraph is to _______.
| A.make a comparison | B.introduce a topic |
| C.offer an evidence | D.describe a daily scene |
| A.By telling us the nature of life. | B.By changing our way of thinking. |
| C.By comparing their attitude to life with ours. | D.By influencing our emotion. |
| A.other people’s pity for them | B.making other people unhappy |
| C.building up a positive attitude | D.other people’s respect for them |
| A.to communicate with negative people as little as possible |
| B.to change negative people’s attitude to life |
| C.to show our dissatisfaction to negative people |
| D.to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves |
| A.Its effect can last. |
| B.Its effect can be completely avoided. |
| C.It hardly happens among family members. |
| D.Its effect is smaller than the effect created by a positive person. |

Abby Subark is a mother of two from Boston. “For my kids, I’m nervous. I don’t know if they’ll be able to achieve their American dream.” She may be right. More than hard work or education, the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich.
It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income, poor scores, in the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade, is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores. That’s what the working persons’ children are up against.
The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status. That’s about 200 years. The hallmark (特征) of American opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries, the United States ranks fifth out of six for so-called intergenerational mobility (變動(dòng)).
If you look at the mechanisms (機(jī)制) for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago, they are becoming out of reach, like plentiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care.
White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile. For most people in America today, where you end up depends on where you start.
If you started in the middle-income class, about 40 to 45 percent of what you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle-income class. The rest is up to you.
But for the millions of people who find themselves below the poverty line and the millions more who are the working poor, their starting point for the American dream leaves them painfully far away from the middle class.
【小題1】The main idea of the passage is _______.
| A.How the middle class comes about in the U.S. |
| B.It’s hard to realize the American dream for the poor. |
| C.Wealth and social status depend on family background. |
| D.Upward mobility in America is never easy. |
| A.People used to have job opportunities and welfare for upward mobility. |
| B.A great many poor people can hardly realize their American dream. |
| C.You can make all your dreams come true in America if born rich. |
| D.Rich kids are more likely to go to college than poor kids. |
| A.Your starting point cannot determine your destination. |
| B.Only a high goal can ensure success. |
| C.One’s birth has nothing to do with his fate. |
| D.One’s family lays solid foundation for his future achievements. |
| A.Her kids don’t want to compare with other rich kids in achievements. |
| B.Her kids don’t want to achieve success at all. |
| C.Her kids can achieve success through hard work and education. |
| D.Her kids can’t reach their goal without a rich family. |
| A.Poverty causes people much pain. |
| B.People below the poverty line can never be in the middle class. |
| C.Lower starting point makes it hard for people to realize their dream. |
| D.Poor people’s starting point is too low. |
