Most Americans enjoy moving from place to place very often. In some states only one house【
C1】______five has people living in it who have【C2】______there for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in【C3】______. He may finish his middle school【C4】______in two or three cities and attend a college far across the country. And when he has entered business, he【C5】______possibly move from job to job. Moving from job to job, or "jobhopping", is a very common practice in the United States. This【C6】______is not good by and large. Yet every【C7】______to change a job offers the worker an opportunity to move【C8】______to a higher position and to get better wages. And jobhopping also gives employers—the bosses, the managers—the chance to benefit【C9】______the new ideas and skills that different people bring to【C10】______firms or factories. Then, most Americans love traveling. People often【C11】______their automobiles 120 to 160 kilometers just to have【C12】______with a friend or even fly to Europe and back just for watching a football match. It is because of this—the fact that Americans are in【C13】______motion—you are likely to be asked questions that are【C14】______personal and impolite in Europe. And, in this way, it is also【C15】______for you to become friends with Americans. And the【C16】______can be close and strong for a while, but then disappears as soon as the individuals move【C17】______from each other. But if these people should【C18】______again, even years later, they would be delighted to【C19】______the friendship. So don't be【C20】______when you fail to find lifetime friendships or relationships in the United States.

People from many countries find it difficult to understand how the majority of Americans l
ive comfortable lives without the support of a public welfare system. Medical care in the United States is expensive; university education can cost $20,000 per year; living well after a worker retires requires more money than will be paid through the Social Security System. Most Americans prepare for those needs by saving a part of their salaries in saving banks; others invest in industries or service corporations in hopes of receiving greater profits. Most Americans also buy insurance of many kinds. In buying insurance, a working person agrees to pay a set sum of money every month or at other regular intervals. In exchange, he or she receives money when needed. Life insurance guarantees a sum of money to survivors of the person in case of death. Medical and hospital insurance guarantees payment of large medical and hospital bills. There is also dental insurance and insurance that pays money when a home burns down. An American can also insure a car, furniture or other personal belongings.

Other benefits for working Americans are provided by the companies they work for or the labor unions to which they belong.

All large businesses and many smaller ones offer their workers benefits. These benefits can include free or low-cost medical insurance and life insurance. Many companies also have retirement plans. The companies put money aside to pay their workers when they retire. There are also profit-sharing plans through which extra money is put aside for workers when the company makes a great deal of money in any one year.

Many labor unions also have special funds from which workers can receive monthly checks when they retire or if they become disabled and cannot work. Some unions also pay for medicine that the workers need but which may not be purchased by medical insurance. Some pay workers a small amount of money if they lose their jobs.

The cost of higher education is usually paid by a combination of private savings, income from a part-time job held by the student, and low interest loans or grants of money given to needy students by the federal government but administered by the university.

How do most of the Americans pay for their huge expense of living?

A.By working for long hours.

B.By saving a part of their salaries.

C.By setting up their own industries.

D.By working for services.

第7题
In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic ma
nagement in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and "human relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.

The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.

Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From that moment on they are tested again and again -- by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one's fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.

Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to 19th century "free enterprise" capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities -- those of love and of reason -- are the aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.

By "a well-oiled cog in the machinery" the author intends to render the idea that man is ______.

A.an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of society, though functioning smoothly

B.a necessary part of the society though each individual's function is negligible

C.a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly

D.working in complete harmony with the rest of the society
