33、ements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was travelingdown a Chicago neighbourhood street. He was

34、 going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when hethought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP- it hit the Jag's

35、 shiny black side door! SCREECH.! Immediately Josh stoppedthe car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the hell are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That'

36、;s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?""Please, mister, please. I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do." begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop." Tears were streaming down the boy

37、's face as he pointed around the parked car. "It's my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled off the curb ( 路缘 ) andfell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift himup. ”Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, "Wouldyou please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He

38、's hurt and he's too heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in histhroat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchiefand wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything

39、was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE- a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent( 凹痕 ) to remind him not to go through lif

40、e so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.55. The boy threw a brick at the businessman's car because _.4A. the businessman drove at a high speedB. he envied the brand-new car very muchC. he wanted to ask for some moneyD. he

44、ound it much easier than it is today to get and keep a jobin the auto industry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款 )payments on an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similarmortgage would claim more than twice that share of his mon

45、thly earnings.Other members of the autoworker s familyhowever might be less inclinedto trade thepresent for the past. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Through-out much of the 1960s, more than a quarter of men and women aged 65 and older livedbelow the po

46、verty level, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010.In most states, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card in her ownname. In 42states, a homemaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legal protection against family violence.Most black workers

47、 would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 percent less than their white counterparts(职位相当的人 ),white racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them from buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working class families.Today, new problems have emerg

48、ed in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go back to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no-fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship. And

49、the breakup of such marriages has caused pain for many families.The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challenges. According to a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their current family isas close as the one in which they grew up, or

50、 closer. Finding ways to improve lives of the5remaining 20 percent seems more realistic than trying to restore an imaginary golden age.59. What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950? A. They had less job security than they do today.B. It was not too difficult for them to buy a house.C. Thei

51、r earnings were worth twice as much as today. D. They were better off than workers in other industries.60. Why couldn tblack workers buy a house in a white suburban neighborhood ? A.
