Unfortunately, I know several people who have been robbed of their wallet by someone with a pistol or knife, and some of them more than once. I dont think that this is because New York City is a more dangerous place than other cities. In fact, there are other cities with higher crime 2. . More accurately, New York City is presently the 5th most likely major U.S. city in which to 3. . New York City is a place where public buses and trains are used a lot. 4. , people do a lot of walking between their home or work and the bus or train and actually come in 5. with other people. This probably 6. a greater risk of 7. on the street. Most other cities are places where people use personal cars to 8. and so they dont come in face-to-face contact with as many people on the streets. I think being part of a community and using public buses and trains is 9. the extra risk. I mean that if I did live someplace else with fewer robberies, it would probably mean living in a place where I would be driving a car more. 10. the risk of getting robbed on the way home, I would be 11. risk of getting in a car accident. Anyway, I like to think I havent been mugged because I have made good 12. about my safety.

There are a few simple things that I do, 15. , to stay out of dangerous situations. A majority of robbers attack their victims at night in 16. that are not lit well and lack other people.

During the day, I dont go 17. areas of town that I am not familiar 18. if I am alone, at least not areas that dont have a lot of people. When 19. through a parking lot, I try not to walk between parked cars. And finally, if something seems odd about a place or street, I go the other way. Those are the major things I do.

After 17 years of education in the finest schools in America, he couldnt do very simple repairs or even locate the carburetor (化油器) in his car. Danny is an educated man. He is a master of writing papers, taking tests, talking, and filling out forms. He can analyze Freud from a Marxian viewpoint and he can analyze Marx from a Freudian viewpoint. In short, Danny is an unskilled worker, and he has a sociology degree to prove it. He is of very little use to American industry. This is nothing new. Colleges have been turning out unskilled workers for decades. Until five years ago, most of these unskilled workers took their degrees in sociology, philosophy, political science, or history and marched right into the American middle class. Some found work in business and government, but many, if not most, went into education, which is the only thing they knew anything about. Once there, they taught another generation the skills necessary to take tests and write papers. But the cycle broke down. Teachers are too common these days, college applications are down, plumbers are making $12 an hour, and liberal-arts graduates are faced with a choice: a graduate school or the taxicab. Danny chose the taxicab because driving was about the only marketable skill he possessed. Danny refers to his job as Real World 101. He has been beaten and shot at. But he has also acquired some practical skills: he can get his tickets fixed; he knows how to cheat the company out of a few extra dollars a week; and he found his carburetor and he can fix it. 1.What did Danny study at college?A.

We have to discuss what is true and what is not true in television advertising, and so we are looking for examples of untruthful television commercials. The question we are asking is, Is the commercial true to life, or does it offer an unreal picture of the product? Sylvester is keeping track of the falsehoods, and he already has quite a long list. He says that all housewives seem to live in lovely homes, dress beautifully, and love their household chores, they smile and boast about floor cleaners and proudly display their dirty laundry, dusty tabletops, and unclean ovens. In addition, he has never seen men doing housework. Sylvester thinks that this view of family life is filled with distortions. I am keeping track of the people who appear in the advertisements. I have found handsome men chasing after the All-American Girl, and they are always recommending brand X toothpaste or brand Y cologne (科隆香水). I see teenagers and children surrounded by their friends, having a wonderful time at parties and at school, and they are usually enjoying large, friendly family gatherings. I think that these advertisements are also filled with fantasy. Sylvester and I have concluded that much of American life is pictured unrealistically in commercials. Teenagers do not always have fun at parties, and very few people love doing chores. People do have problems but few of these are ever shown in commercials. Instead, we watch Cinderella discover a miracle floor wax, f
