Lesson 7 ：Cities and Suburbs Are Trading Places远程办公Young Singles, Other ‘Non-Families’ Taking Over Outer Areas, Study Shows研究显示，单身青年和其他“非家庭成员”占据了周边地区By D’Vera Cohn.A role reversal between cities and suburbs is rewriting a demographic script that has dominated American life for decades.城市和郊区之间的角色转换正在改写几十年来主导美国生活的人口统计学脚本。
Young singles, elderly widows and other such “non-family households”now outnumber married-with-children homes in the nation’s suburbs, creating changes in demand for housing, entertainment and services in the communities where most Americans live.在美国的郊区，年轻的单身人士、年老的寡妇和其他类似的“无家庭家庭”现在的数量超过了结婚带孩子的家庭，这就改变了大多数美国人居住的社区对住房、娱乐和服务的需求。
At the same time, the married-with-children families often thought of as typically suburban are increasing in many growing cities of the South and West, according to a study based on the 2000 Census to be released today by the Brookings Institution.与此同时，布鲁金斯学会(Brookings Institution)今天发布的一项基于2000年人口普查的研究显示，在美国南部和西部许多发展中城市，通常被认为是典型的郊区已婚带孩子家庭的人数正在增加。

课文原文中国双面胶巨头炒作被美SEC指控中国一家知名的胶水制造商，在美国遭到了美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的指控。
SEC称，该公司通过虚假宣传和操纵市场来提高其股价。
据悉，这是SEC首次对中国科技公司进行调查，并打击这类市场操纵行为。
据报道，该公司在过去两年里到处举办新产品发布会，并宣称这些新产品具有划时代的意义。
然而，SEC发现，这些所谓的“划时代”产品实际上并没有什么突破性的创新，仅仅是对已有产品的改进。
而且，该公司还通过在社交媒体上刷存在感，夸大了产品的价值和市场前景。
SEC发言人表示，这起指控意在提醒投资者要警惕那些通过虚假宣传来推高股价的公司。
SEC将继续调查并采取行动以保护公众利益和市场的稳定。
另外，该公司可能面临来自投资者的集体诉讼。
一些投资者表示，他们在该公司的股票上损失惨重，而且曾经相信该公司的虚假宣传。
如果诉讼成功，这家公司可能需要支付巨额的赔偿费用。
这起事件引发了投资者对于中国科技公司的信任危机。
许多投资者表示，他们将对中国科技公司保持谨慎态度，并增加对于其财务状况和商业行为的审查力度。

Lesson4 Is an Ivy League Diploma Worth It？花钱读常春藤名校值不值？1.如果愿意的话，施瓦茨（Daniel Schwartz）本来是可以去一所常春藤联盟（Ivy League）院校读书的。
他只是认为不值。
2.18 岁的施瓦茨被康奈尔大学（Cornell University）录取了，但他最终却去了纽约市立大学麦考利荣誉学院（City University of New York’s Macaulay Honors College），后者是免费的。
3.施瓦茨说，加上奖学金和贷款的支持，家里原本是可以付得起康奈尔的学费的。
但他想当医生，他觉得医学院是更有价值的一项投资。
私立学校医学院一年的花费动辄就要4 万5 美元。
他说，不值得为了一个本科文凭一年花5 万多美元。
4.助学贷款违约率日益攀升，大量的大学毕业生找不到工作，因此越来越多的学生认定，从一所学费不太贵的学校拿到的学位和从一所精英学校拿到的文凭没什么区别，并且不必背负贷款负担。
5.Robert Pizzo 越来越多的学生选择收费较低的公立大学，或选择住在家里走读以节省住房开支。
美国学生贷款行销协会（Sallie Mae）的一份报告显示，2010 年至2011 学年，家庭年收入10 万美元以上的学生中有近25%选择就读两年制的公立学校，高于上一学年12%的比例。
6.这份报告称，这样的选择意味着，在2010 至2011 学年，各个收入阶层的家庭在大学教育上的花费比上一年少9%，平均支出为21,889 美元，包括现金、贷款、奖学金等。
高收入家庭的大学教育支出降低了18%，平均为25,760 美元。
这份一年一度的报告是在对约1,600 名学生和家长进行问卷调查后完成的。
7.这种做法是有风险的。
顶级大学往往能吸引到那些已经不再去其他学校招聘的公司前来招聘。
在许多招聘者以及研究生院看来，精英学校的文凭还是更有吸引力的。

Lesson5 Food and ObesityBeing fat is be coming the norm for Americans.As it will soon be come in this country, I have seen the future, and it's extra large.By Joan SmithA friend who happens to be both American and a superb cook-his poulet de Bresse en deuil is one of the most memorable dishes I have tasted--called me a couple of days ago,enthusing about a lecture he had just at ended.The thesis,he said,was that the human body has changed irrevocably over the last quarter of a century and that the physical environment—chairs,beds, airline seats-will gradually adapt to accommodate the new shape.It is,of course,in the US, where my friend no longer lives,that this evolutionary experiment is most advanced;for years now, millions of people have been gorging themselves on vast helpings of fast food, with the consequence that about 60 percent of the population is overweight.According to Greg Critser, author of Fat Land：How Americans Became the Fattest People in the Word, none of this has happened by accident. Critser argues that the challenge to the US food industry in the 1970s was that the population was growing more slowly than the food supply, so people had to be persuaded to change their eating habits. Fast food, invented after the Second World War as an affordable way of getting families to eat together, became a means of selling surplus fat and sugar to the far-from-unwilling masses. This is a social revolution on a grand scale as scarcity, with which most human beings have had to struggle throughout history, has given way to an apparently permanent state of plenty.It may also help to explain why the magician David Blaine, suspended without food in a Perspex box beside Tower Bridge,has such a grip on people's imaginations.In an astonishingly short period of time, starvation has metamorphosed from a threat to a spectacle, and families are turning out en mass eat weekends to see how his hunger strike is going. For the fifth of the British population who are obese, and unused to doing without food for more than a few hours, the notion of someone giving it up for 44 days is unthinkable, some normal-size people have turned up to mock, throwing egg, cooking food and even trying to cut off the water supply to the hung American. Perhaps this is the point, that there are so few starving Americans in the world, which makes his self-imposed ordeal appear ludicrously self-indulgent.Yet it is possible to take Critser’s argument a stage further and suggest that millions of Americans are trapped between two industries, fast food and slimming, which enjoy a cosily symbiotic relationship. Research by a fast-food chain showed that what customers cared about was neither taster nor quality but portion size; what they have come to expect from food, and what their neighbours are beginning to want as well-obesity has increased by 158 per cent in Mexico in a decade, since fast food outlets began to replace the traditional diet-is a feeling of being stuffed to the gills. Cooking has become a spectator sport, something to watch famous people do on telly, as the populations of affluent countries rely increasingly on supermarket meals and takeaways. For many people, eating has become an addiction rather than a pleasure, and going on a diet merely replaces on morbid habit with another.In the circumstances, it is not really surprising that people are confused andangered by Blaine, whose stunt highlights the disordered relation to eating which has become habitual in Western societies. Far from being an object of derision as his body enters ketosis, the state in which it starts to consume itself, he should logically be the envy of all those individuals who are endlessly trying Atking and other fashionable diets. We are so used to hearing people pay to get hungry, turning the condition of starving Africans into a longed-for luxury. There is something shaming about this, and about the extent to which so many people-like Kafka’s hunger artist, who was addicted to starving-have lost control of their appetites.Perhaps the thesis my friend described to me on the phone is correct, and houses and cars and planes will just have to get bigger as the human race-the affluent part of it, that is-continues to inflate itself with empty calories. Bizarrely, being fat is fast becoming the norm for Americans, and even in this country it will soon be people like me(5ft 5in and a paltry nine stone) who are the freaks. I have seen the future, and it’s extra large.Plain food moves up a classI was supposed to give a talk myself at the weekend, on food and class, but had to pull out because of an annoyingly persistent throat virus. I was going to discuss “ eating above your station”, which is something I learnt to do, like many people of my generation, when I went to university. Until then, I had scarcely ever eaten in a restaurant and I had never tried what my family referred to as “foreign muck”. Ever macaroni cheese was too exotic for my parents, who tipped it into the bin when I came home from cookery class with a Pyrex dish full of overcooked pasta and melted cheddar.Food was plain, served on a plate with thick portions of gravy or custard, and the idea of helping yourself from serving dishes seemed the height of sophistication. What strikes me now, looking back on that traditional working-class diet, is that it was unadventurous but it didn’t do me ant harm. My father grew vegetables, my mother shelled peas and sliced carrots, and I don’t recall anyone in my family being overweight. It’s hard to eat too much when someone else puts the food on your plate. These days, if a working-class diet can be said to exist, it is surperficially much more cosmopolitan-curries, pizza, the ubiquitous Chinese takeaway-but adapted to satisfy the British appetite for saturated fat, salt and sugar.In a curious reversal, plain food-simple grilled fish with a green salad, such as the wonderful meal I ate in Marbella in the summer-has become the province of the middle class. I am one of those lucky people who changed class at the right time and in the right direction, but the effects of our eating habits-a slender elite, as millions of ordinary people pile on the pounds-suggest that class divisions are as deep as ever.Bring on the euroI was driving back from a health farm the other day when the friend with whom I had just shared three days of massage, facials and Pilates said rather nervously that she wanted to ask me a question. I naturally assumed that she wanted to talk about men, underwear or the least painful way of shaving your legs, as women do when they know each other well, but it turned out to be something far more intimate. Am I, she asked, in favour of joining the euro?Oh God, anything but that. Admitting that you fell no attachment to the pound, and would like to use the euro in Waitrose, is like telling your friends that you have joined a weird sect. I don’t think people spend much time thinking about Gordon Brown’s five economic tests, but there is a presumption that the British did jolly week to stay out of the eurozone when all those foreigners gave up their currencies almost two years ago. And now we’re supposed to admire the Swedes for resoundingly voting “No” at the weekend.I don’t think I’ve ever confessed this in public before, and I suspect I won’t be invited to any smart parties for weeks at the very least. But I really want to join the euro. And since we both came out somewhere on the M1-it was a relief, I can tell you-I now know at least one other person who feels the same.。

Lesson 19 It's a Glad, Sad, Mad World主观幸福感Where you live, as much a show you live, is a key influence on the feel-good factor你住在哪里，就像你在现场表演一样，是影响你感觉良好的关键因素By Walter KirnIt's almost impossible for most people in well-off countries to begin to understand how it feels to live in the extreme poverty of Calcutta, surviving in India's third largest city in a shack, or on the street with little access to clean water,food or health care.对于生活在富裕国家的大多数人来说，他们几乎不可能开始理解生活在印度第三大城市加尔各答的极度贫困中是什么感觉，在一个简陋的棚子里生存，或者在没有干净的水、食物或医疗保健的街道上生存。
The filth. The crowds. The disease.污秽、人群、疾病。
From the perspective of the comfortably housed and amply fed, these conditions sound hopeless, and the suffering they must breed seems unimaginable.从那些住得舒舒服服、吃得饱的人的角度来看，这些条件听起来让人绝望，它们所带来的痛苦似乎难以想象。
But not as unimaginable as this: according to a researcher who employs a method of ranking human happiness on a scale of 1 to 7, poor Calcuttans score about a 4, meaning they' reslightly more happy than not.但没有这么不可思议:根据一位研究人员使用一种方法给人类幸福打分，分值从1到7，贫穷的Calcuttans给出的了4分，表示他们的幸福程度稍微高一些。

The Story of a Corporation公司传奇Campbell Soup Company is one of the largest manufacturers of prepared foods, especially canned soups,canned spaghetti, and blended vegetable juice. The following is its story.金宝汤公司是最大的生产即时食物的公司之一，尤其是灌装汤，意大利面罐头和混合蔬菜汁，以下就是这个故事。
In 1869, Ulysses S. Grant was sworn into the Presidency and the last stake was driven into the transcontinental railroad. That same year, two men— a fruit merchant named Joseph Campbell and an icebox manufacturer named Abraham Anderson — shook hands in Camden, New Jersey, to form a business that would one day become one of the most recognized in the world and serve as a symbol of Americana: Campbell Soup Company. Originally called the Joseph A. Campbell Preserve Company, the business produced canned tomatoes, vegetables, jellies, soups, condiments, and minced meats. In 1897, a major milestone occurred when Arthur Dorrance, the general manager of the company, reluctantly hired his 24-year-old nephew to join the company. Dr. John T. Dorrance, a chemist who had trained in Europe, was so determined to join Campbell that he agreed to pay for laboratory equipment out of his own pocket and accept a token salary of just $7.50 per week.1869年，格兰特•尤利西兹宣布就职总统，横穿大陆的铁路通车。

The film follows him, his friends and their vehicles through a late summer night in early 1960s California: cruising the main drag, racing on the back streets and necking in back seats of machines which embody not just speed, prosperity and freedom but also adulthood, status and sex.这部电影带着他，他的朋友们和他们的车穿越到了二十世纪六十年代加州，一个夏天的夜晚：快而平衡地穿过那里的主要街道，在破旧的街巷中飙车，在汽车后座位上拥吻，这辆车体现的不仅仅是速度，财富和自由，还有成年的宣告，社会地位和性关系的成熟。
The movie was set in an age when owning wheels was a norm deeply desired and newly achievable.当时这部电影的制作背景是----拥有辆车的深深渴望和它代表的一种新型的成就。

Until then, I had scarcely ever eaten in a restaurant and I had never tried what my family referred to as “ foreign muck macaroni cheesewas too exotic for my parents, who tipped it into the bin when I came home from cookery class with a Pyrex dish full of overcooked pasta and melted cheddar.Food was plain, served on a plate with thick portions of gravy or custard, and the idea of helping yourself from serving dishes seemed the height of sophistication. What strikes me now, looking back on that traditional working-class diet, is that it was unadventurous but it didn ' t do me ant harm. My father grew vegetables, my mothershelled peas and sliced carrots, and I don' trecall anyone in my family being overweight. It ' s hard to eat too much when someone else puts the food on your plate. These days, if a working-class diet can be said to exist, it is surperficially much more cosmopolitan-curries, pizza, the ubiquitous Chinese takeaway-but adapted to satisfy the British appetite for saturated fat, salt and sugar.In a curious reversal, plain food -simple grilled fish with a green salad, such as the wonderful meal I ate in Marbella in the summer -has become the province of the middle class. I am one of those lucky people who changed class at the right time and in the right direction, but the effects of our eating habits-a slender elite, as millions of ordinary people pile on the pounds-suggest that class divisions are as deep as ever.Bring on the euroI was driving back from a health farm the other day when the friend with whom I had just shared three days of massage, facials and Pilates said rather nervously that she wanted to ask me a question. I naturally assumed that she wanted to talk about men, underwear or the least painful way of shaving your legs, as women do when they know each other well, but it turned out to be something far more intimate. Am I, she asked, in favour of joining the euro?Oh God, anything but that. Admitting that you fell no attachment to the pound, and would like to use the euro in Waitrose, is like telling your friends that you have joined a weird sect. I don'tthink people spend much time thinking about Gordon Brown' s five economic tests, but there is a presumption that the British did jolly week to stay out of the eurozone when all those foreigners gave up their currencies almost two years ago. And now we' resupposed to admire the Swedes for resoundingly voting “ No” at the weekend.I don 't think I ' ve ever confessed this in public before, and I suspect I won invited to any smart parties for weeks at the very least. But I really want to join the euro. And since we bothcame out somewhere on the M1-it was a relief, I can tell you-I now know at least one other person who feels the same.。

英美报刊阅读教程中级精选本第五版端木义万Lesson19ItsaGlad,Sad,MadWorld
英美报刊阅读教程中级精选本第五版端木义万Lesson19ItsaGlad,Sad,MadWorldLesson 19 It's a Glad, Sad, Mad WorldWhere you live, as much a show you live, is a key influence on the feel-good factor1By Walter Kirn1.It' s almost impossible for most people in well-off countries to begin to understand how it feels to live in the extreme poverty of Calcutta2, surviving in India's third largest city in a shack, or on the street with little access to clean water,food or health care. The filth. The crowds. The disease. From the perspective of the comfortably housed and amply fed, these conditions sound hopeless, and the suffering they must breed seems unimaginable.2.But not as unimaginable as this: according to a researcher who employs a method of ranking human happiness on a scale of 1 to 7, poor Calcuttans score about a 4, meaning they' reslightly more happy than not. And that' s certainly happier than one might expect. The assumption behind this finding, of course, is that happiness, like Olympic figure skating, can really be scored numerically at all and that the judges who score it don' t even need to come from the same countries or speak the same languages as the people they' re judging.3.Robert Biswas-Diener, has worked extensively with his father, the noted University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener, to evaluate what they term the Subjective Well-Being(SWB)3 of people around the globe, from Masai warriors in East Africa to Inughuit hunters in Northern Greenland, inviting them to answer questions about their moods and outlook. The results have led them to one sweeping conclusion: human beings, no matterwhere they live, and almost without regard to how they live, are, in the elder Diener' s words,"preset to be happy."44.He thinks of this predilection as a "gift" bestowed on people by evolution that helpsus adapt and flourish even in fairly trying circumstances.5 But there are other theories. Maybe, he says, we're "socialized" to be happy, "in order to facilitate smooth social functioning."6Whatever the reasons for this gift, however, its benefits don' t seem to beevenly distributed around the globe./doc/7f6202157.html,tin Americans, for example, are among the happiest people in the world, according to study after study. A survey of college students in the mid-1990s compared so-called national differences in positivity and ranked Puerto Rico, Colombia and Spainas the three most cheerful locales. This may surprise those who equate happiness with flat-screen TVs and ice-cube-dispensing refrigerator doors. But not to Ed Diener. For him, the high spirits of the relatively poor Puerto Ricans and Colombians stem from a "positivity tendency" that"may be rooted in cultural norms regarding the value of believing in aspects of life in general to be good." 7 Translation: Latin Americans are happier because they look on the sunny side of life.6.That tendency does not seem to be popular in East Asia. Among the bottom five in the study are Japan, China and South Korea, the outliers of unhappiness. "We have found that East Asians tend to weight the worst areas of their lives when computing their life satisfaction8," Diener reports.7.That may be a reflection of a difference in cultural expectation, says Shinobu Kitayama, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, who does research on the connection between culture and well-being. "While Americans seehappiness as a goal. Self-esteern is very important to them. But Asians, from the beginning of life,are trained to focus on the negative aspects of themselves." That extends to Asians' view of happiness itself, which Kitayama sees as surprisingly dialectic. He recently asked American and Japanese college students to describe the positive and negative aspects of happiness. The American students could only see happiness as a pure good, while the Japanese students repeatedly pointed out the potential drawbacks to happiness—the way personal success, for instance, could invite envy. That might be part of the fun for your average American freshman, but Asians often see little value in personal happiness that upsets family or group harmony. "Asian happiness is much more social than personal," says Kitayama. When asked to estimate their happiness in surveys, Asians might naturally underrate themselves for that reason, and it's not clear whether the yactually feel unhappy or whether they are just moderating their responses.9Ultimately personal happiness may simply not be what many Asians are searching for.8.But that may be changing.Over the past 50 years, Asia has undergone a wrenching crash course in economic and political modernization.10 A wealth of new possibilities are now available to Asians across the region, yet many of those choices—what to buy, where to work, whom to marry— come into direct conflict with the old interdependent values still held by society or by their families. "There is enormous stress in these transitional cultures11,"says Aaron Ahuvia, a professor of marketing at Michigan. The result can be a kind of cognitive dissonance that leaves Asians individually freer but perhapsless happy, at least in the short run.129.If the developing-world Colombians are happy mostlybecause they really like to be and the developed-world Japanese are not so happy because, for them, personal happiness isn't part of the plan, it would seem to follow that SWB has little to do with material well-being and a lot do with attitude—at least when it comes to filling out surveys. The planet's happiest souls, as determined by the World Happiness Database'3,compiled by researchers at Rotterdam' s Erasmus University w, are the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10-point scale of happiness. Most of Asia, including the Japanese, hover around 6 on this measure, while troubled Pakistan is near the bottom at 4.3.10.Biswas-Diener argues that attitude counts but also notes that highly developed nations, as a group, score consistently high, suggesting that it doesn't hurt a country to pave its highways and disinfect its water supply.15 Democracy, as a measurement for most of the world, is a sure guide to happiness. And there are no superpowers when it comes to happiness. The U.S. is pretty chippy, but in the study of international college students it ranked a contented eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No. 1, and running around the world shouting you are No. 1, doesn't mean that you feel like No.1 inside.11.Even Bis was-Diener cautions that national happiness rankings are crude instruments.16 That' s especially true when comparing West with East, cultures where the pursuit of happiness is a national obsession with cultures where, as the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzuput it, "happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness."17Still, if you belong to one of the highest-ranking countries, you willenjoy gazing at the big Scoreboard and speculating aboutthe source of your collective joy. Whereas, if your motherland fares badly18, you might want to consider spending more time in Denmark.From Time, January15, 2005。

A San Francisco State University professor who edits the Journal of Cross-Culture Psychology'', David Matsumoto, holds that while Nisbett attaches his observations to fascinating raw data, he takes some conclusions too far.旧金山州立大学(San Francisco State University)教授、《跨文化心理学杂志》(Journal of Cross-Culture Psychology)主编大卫•松本(David Matsumoto)认为，尼斯贝特将自己的观察结果与引人入胜的原始数据结合起来，但他的一些结论有些过头了。
"In cross-cultural work researchers are too quick to come up with some deep, dark, mysterious interpretation of a difference with no data to support it," Matsumoto says. "It's difficult to draw one conclusion [from] a snippet of behavior, and that's what this work tends to do."松本说:“在跨文化研究中，研究人员在没有数据支持的情况下，总是急于对差异做出一些深刻、黑暗、神秘的解释。
”“很难从一个行为片段中得出一个结论，而这正是这项研究的目的。
