Lesson 4VI.1. They found those Korean-Americans isolated and helpless, and recognized the attacks as a threat to Asians as a whole. For many Asian-Americans, the riots represented as an assault on their faith in America.2. The total population of Asian-Americans is about 7.3 million. Nearly 2.5 million arrived during the 1980s. The fastest increasing groups are Koreans and Vietnamese. About half of Asian immigrants settle on the Pacific coast while hundreds of thousands move on to New York and dozens of cities in between.3. They were brought to the United States in the 1860s to work on continental railroads as coolies. They were ill-treated and vilified as a “population befouled with all the social vices”. In 1887, there occurred the Snake River Massacre in Oregon, in which 31 Chinese were robbed and murdered.4. Asian families earn an average of $35,900 per year, more than the average for white families. However, as the Asian family is larger, their per capita income is actually less than that of white people.5. They are called the “model minority” because of their superiority to other races in habits of study and work. They are said to embody the American Dream of hard work, thrift and success. Asians, however, rebel against the model-minority label as another insidious stereotype. They think that it is a subtly racist excuse not to help underprivileged Asians and to hold back even average Asians on the ground that they already have “natural” advantages.6. Because they believe that Asian-Americans have accepted the white mainstream culture and white people love them for everything the blacks are not.7. They are making great efforts to preserve and acquire the Asian culture by improving their original language proficiency, attacking the model minority image and Asians who forget their original culture.8. The main obstacles are skin color and lack of English proficiency.9. The Indo-Chinese group is most noted for street gang activities. The main cause is unemployment.10. The ties within each small Asian group are close and family connections are strong. A key link in the system is rotating credit association. However, many Asians lack a larger sense of unity and bring ancient rivalries from native countries. Most Asian support groups are based on nationality or even smaller units.OutlineI. Impact of the Los Angeles riots(1—2)1. Korean sufferings and helpless state2. Assault on Asian-Americans’ faith in AmericaII. Racial bias against Asian-Americans(3—7)1. Asian immigrants’ uglified image in the past2. Present model-minority label and its harmful effects3. Resentment against Asians for their success and behavior4. Asians’ isolation from the rest of the society5. Boycotts and assaults on Asian businessesIII. American culture’s influence(8—12)1. Fast increase of Asian immigrants wishing to realize the American Dream2. Second generation’s tendency to abandon Asian values3. Identity crisis resulting from two cultures’ pull4. Young people’s efforts to preserve the original culture5. The least assimilated group: Chinatown residentsIV. Discrimination against Asians(13—17)1. Hurdles for assimilation2. Glass ceiling3. UnemploymentV. Similarities and differences between Asians and Blacks(18—21)1. Similar sufferings2. Similar spiritualities3. Asian-Americans’ less difficulty in shrugging off the legacy of discrimination4. First-generation Asian immigrants’ incredibly hardworking and thrifty characterVI. Asians’ ties and political status(22—24)1. Close community ties2. Lack of a larger sense of unity3. Underrepresentation at all government levelsVII. Author’s view concerning the development of Asians’ sentiment(25) Unlikely to become a wider political movementLesson 6Answers to the QuestionsV. 1. B 2. B 3. B 4. C 5. DVI.1. Because they regard First Amendment freedom as essential American rights and will not allow any restriction on it.2. Because it holds the view that the reform will place restriction on individual rights and therefore should be fiercely resisted.3. Because the situation is not the same as before. In the 1950s, McCarthy and his inquisitors trampled the free expression of left-wing view; and so for the next two decades or so it was essential to defend the principle of free speech at every opportunity. Now the free speech is not in jeopardy, it should not be rigidly defended.4. Mr. Neuborne holds that in modern political campaign rich candidates flood voters with commercials and propaganda of every kind, so that others have no chance of attracting attention. Poor candidates may enjoy the right to speak, but not the hope that everyone will hear what theyhave to say. To give them a hearing, he suggests that the speech of rich candidates be limited.5. The authors mean that the situation now is different from that of the 1960s. Americans should not abide by the same principle in spite of the change of time. In the 1960s heyday, the ACLU was absolutely correct in upholding citizens’ rights against the police and other authorities. This was because they did not reflect the inte rests of America’s black minority. However, all that has now changed: many policemen, and police chiefs, are black, as are many mayors. If these leaders, reflecting the wishes of their constituencies, choose to adopt tough measures to fight crime, the ACLU should not presume to second-guess them. It’s time to adopt a different attitude.6. The ACLU’s rigid defence of rights ends up favoring the strong more than the weak.7. He thinks that America’s free speech has a price. Though America has been one of the freest countries in the world, it is one of those in which the gap between the rich and poor is the starkest.OutlineI. The burial of the campaign finance reform and its implications(1)II. Two sides’ views on the reform(2)1. Opponents’ view2. Majority’s viewIII. American public’s qualified support for free speech(3—5)1. Firm belief in the first amendment2. Strong support for the campaign finance reform3. Deep split within the ACLU over the campaign financeIV. Criticism of the ACLU’s rigid defence of rights(6—11)1. Burt Neuborne’s view on the ACLU’s line on campaign spending2. Tracey Meares and Dan Kahan’s criticism of the ACLU’s other issuesV. Author’s comment(12) Liberty has a price.Lesson 7Answers to the QuestionsV. 1. D 2. C 3. D 4. D 5. BVI.1. It indicates that Microsoft corp. has tight control over the software business.2. The present honeymoon will not last long. The industry does not speak with one voice. At the same time, their success has greatly damaged the interests of other industries. So there will be troubles ahead. Besides this, there’s also potential for a huge culture clash. A lot of Silicon Valley types don’t realize the importance of politics and have disdain for government.3. President Clinton promised to keep the Internet tax-free for now and Hewlett Packard Co. won approval to export sophisticated cryptography chips. The 1986 semiconductor trade agreement was signed to stop the dumping of Japanese chips in the US and set market-share goals for US chips in Japan.4. The industry believes that government should do what it needs to do but leave them alone. The software tycoons have little patience for bureaucratic oversight and tend to be uncompromising. The hardware tycoons are willing to look for compromise.5. They are: easing immigration restriction; securities-litigation reform and ending export limit of encryption technology.6. The Internet and electronic commerce have been rearranging the business landscape—changing how Americans buy everything. They are spreading into all sorts of digital services, from entertainment to online banking to telephony.7. Because high-tech leaders have realized that the industry’s future is less about technology and more about policy.OutlineI. Close contact between high tech industry and Washington politicians(1—2)1. Specific example: Bill Gates and Scott G. McNealy’s attendance at the March 3 hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee2. Increasing contact between high tech industry and Washington policy makersII. Reasons for the close relationship(3—6)1. High tech industry’s fast expansion and the appearance of more issues2. Politicians’ strong interest in the job growth industry3. Increasing conflicts between high tech industry and other industries4. High tech industry’s urgent need for solution to many problemsIII. Relationship between high tech industry and government(7—11)1. Good relationship at present2. Difficulties in maintaining the honeymoon3. Need for high tech new executives to learn lobbyingIV. Efforts made by high tech companies at lobbying(12—14)1. Computer companies’ fight for a high-definition TV format2. The establishment of Washington offices3. Crusade to fight alleged Japanese dumping of computer chipsV. Problems with the high tech industry(15—16)1. Lack of unity2. Little patience for bureaucratic oversightVI. Objectives of the high tech executives(17—18)1. Easing immigration restriction and securities litigation reform2. Ending limit on the export encryption technologyVII. Prospects(19) High tech executives will quickly learn how to play the Washington political gameLesson 12Answers to the QuestionsV. 1. A 2. D 3. D 4. C 5. BVI.1. The market situation of the sales in the United States is much better than ever before. Many bookstores report increases of over 30%.2. America’s bookstores offer a rich diversity of Bibles to suit people’s different needs and comprehension levels. The 270 stores in the Family Christian Stores chain might carry 200 different titles. Customers now have more choices in format, bindings, boxing and pricing. All new Bibles claim improved scholarship, better readability and more relevance.3. The advance of technology has made it possible to publish more quickly and less expensively. Therefore, it has helped to speeden new Bible production and shorten the shelf life of Bibles.4. In order to meet readers’ different needs, publishers produce specialty Bibles and Bibles with notes and comments.5. The initialism NIV stands for the New International Version.6. The notes and comments in the new Bible would produce the adverse effects of leading the reader off the right page theologically and remaking God in the writer’s own image.OutlineI. Fast increase of Bible sales(1—5)II. Rich diversity of Bible versions and variations(6—17)1. More choices in bindings, boxings and pricing2. Different kinds of Bibles serving different purposes3. Different Bibles claiming improved scholarship and readability4. An explosion of format choicesIII. Reasons for the rich diversity(18—25)1. Advance of technology2. Bible companies’ desire for their market shares3. Customers’ wish for specialty versions suiting their specific needsIV. Possible adverse effects of the notes and comments(26—35)1. Leading the reader off the right page theologically2. Remarking God in one’s own imageLesson 15Answers to the QuestionsV. 1. B 2. D 3. B 4. B 5. AVI.1. Americans transfer less money among themselves for such things as social security and welfare.2. It is the measure of “fiscal drag”—the burden taxes place upon an economy.3. It refers to funds that go from one citizen’s pocket to another’s with the government as intermediary.4. High-tax, high-transfer countries tend to be culturally cohesive. America is a melting pot. It is a more diverse society. People are reluctant to contribute to the public spending.5. Lower taxes. More services and more spending.6. They would shoulder higher taxes if they could be sure that doing so would make life better for themselves, their children and their children’s children. A great ma jority would pay more if they could be guaranteed the money would go to education or health insurance or even housing for the homeless. They are willing to pay for the direct and visible services.OutlineI. American’s tax load compared with people of other countries(1—3)1. Lighter load according to OECD’s finding2. More complaints about taxes according to opinion polls3. Author’s view on OECD’s findingII. Similarities and differences between America and other countries in taxes(4—9)1. Similaritya.

America’s capability to increase transfer paymentsb. Reasons for US less transfer paymentsUS less cultural cohesion caused by the society’s diversity;Government’s less spending for infrastructureIII. Public’s sentiment over taxes(10—12)1. Willingness to pay more for worthwhile causes such as education and pollution control2. Hatred for bureaucrats’ waste of taxpayers’ money3. Tendency to want it both ways: lower taxes, but more servicesResult: huge federal deficitLesson 17Answers to the QuestionsV. 1. C 2. D 3. C 4. D 5. DVI.1. Alcohol poisoning caused Wynne’s death. The autopsy of Wynne found that he had a blood alcohol level six times the amount at which the state considers a person intoxicated.2. Excessive drinking among college students has been blamed for at least six deaths in the year before the writing of the article. It affects not only the bingers but also fellow students, who are more likely to report lost sleep, interrupted studies and sexual assaults on campuses with high binge-drinking rates. Sometimes it may cause riots.3. The most important factor is the campus culture encouraging students to drink, and drink heavily. At many colleges, school life is still synonymous with alcohol-lubricated gatherings. College newspapers are filled with alcohol-related ads. On many campuses, bars send shuttle buses to round up students.4. The act of raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 21 can not solve the problem. Many drink at private parties off campus, with an older student buying the alcohol. Bars’enforcement of the drinking age is often lax, false IDs are common, and legal-age friends are often willing to buy the drinks and bring them back to the table. Instead of drinking in well-monitored settings, the young often experiment in private homes and bars, where there are few checks in place to deter dangerous practices. Research suggests that making alcohol illegal may give it an illicit thrill for younger drinkers. So raising the age may have made the binge problem even worse.5. To solve the binge problem, many colleges hand out literature and hold workshops to educate students about responsible drinking. In addition, they penalize campus groups that sponsor reckless parties.6. No, it’s far from enough just to ban alcohol on campus, for it does nothing about the excessive drinking off-campus. So, colleges should work with the larger community to ensure that students cannot abuse alcohol at private homes and bars.OutlineI. Specific example: Wynne’s death of alcohol poisoning(1)II. General situation: Pervasive binge drinking on campuses(2—3)1. A common problem with most schools2. Huge yearly consumption of alcohol3. Harmful effects on the bingers and fellow studentsIII. Causes for the campus binge problem(4—5)1. Binge-encouraging culture: alcohol-lubricated gatherings; college newspapers’advertising; bars’ shuttle-bus service2. Off-campus wide-availability and high promotion of alcoholIV. Measures taken by many colleges to solve the binge problem(6—7)1. Education through literature and workshops2. Punishment for campus groups for sponsoring reckless parties3. Ban on alcohol consumption on campusesV. Author’s recommended measures(8—9)1. Working with the larger community to stop off-campus alcohol abuse2. Encouraging on-campus responsible drinking for those of legal drinking ageLesson21Answers to the QuestionsV. 1. B 2. C 3. D 4. A 5. BVI.1. He took two of his father’s guns from an unlocked cabinet and a third from a family car. He had learnt to fire weapons from his father.2. He means that Barry Loukaitis’ shooting in many respects showed the way in which America’s school yard killings would occur. More recent school killings followed the pattern of Barry Loukaitis’ shooting.3. The violent pop culture predisposed kids to violent behavior. It produced a profound cultural influence pulling kids into a world where violence is a perfectly normal way to handle emotions.4. It shows a very serious problem: American juveniles are becoming violent, callous andremorseless. More kids have mental disorders and their mental problems occur earlier.5. Most earlier killings were gang-related, or they were stabbings involving money or a girl friend. However, most recent killings were shootings done by kids with mental troubles. The victims were chosen at random.6. Yes, they gave ample warning signs, often in detailed writings at school, of dramatic violent outbursts to come. However, adults never took the threats and warning signs seriously. They simply overlooked them.7. Juvenile suicide rates have increased over the last four decades and have leveled off near their all-time highs. More than 1.5 million Americans under age 15 are seriously depressed.8. Because they were strapped for mental health counselors.9. Their parents or grandparents did not lock guns out of kids’ reach. Some of them even bought them guns and taught them how to use the guns.OutlineI. Specific example: Barry Loukaitis’ shooting on Feb. 2, 1996(1—4)II. Common traits of school yard killings after Barry’s shooting(5—14)1. Mental state: displaying problems2. Instruments for killing: easy access to guns3. Culture’s influence: immersion in gun culture and obsession with violent pop culture4. Signs of violence: showing ample signs, which, however, are overlookedIII. Striking changes of school yard killings in type over the last six years(15—27)1. Most earlier killings: gang-related stabbings; fights over money or a girl friend2. Most killings after Barry’s shooting: use of guns; random choices of victims; mental troubles3. Examples: Barry Loukaitis; an Alaskan boy; Luke Woodham in Mississippi; Michael Carneal in Kentucky; a 13-year-old boy in ArkansasIV. Analysis of the Causes(28—41)1. Mood disorders happening earlier & shortage of mental health counselors2. Easy access to guns: unlocked; parents’ teaching; holiday gifts; taking courses3. Pop culture’s influence: violent video shows and video games; gangster rap。

美英报刊阅读教程Lesson1课文【Lesson 1 Good News about Racial ProgressThe remaining divisions in American society shouldnot blind us to a half-century of dramatic changeBy Abigail and Stephan ThernstromIn the Perrywood community of Upper Marlboro, Md.1, near Washington, D.C., homes cost between $160,000 and $400,000. The lawns are green and the amenities appealing—including a basketball court.Low-income teen-agers from Washington started coming there. The teens were black, and they were not welcomed. The homeowners? association hired off-duty police as security, and they would ask the ballplayers whether they “belonged” in the area. The association? s newsletter noted the “eyesore” at the basketball court.But the story has a surprising twist: many of the homeowners were black t oo. “We started having problems with the young men, and unfortunately they are our people,” one resident told a re porter from the Washington Post. “But what can you do?”The homeowners didn?t care about the race of the basketball players. They were outsiders—in truders. As another resident remarked, “People who don?t live here might not care about things the way we do. Seeing all the new houses going up, someone might b e tempted.”It?s a t elling story. Lots of Americans think that almost all blacks live in inner cities. Not true. Today many blacks own homes in suburban neighborhoods—not just around Washington, but outside Atlanta, Denver and other cities as well.That?s not the only common misconception Americans haveab out race. For some of the misinformation, the media are to blame. A reporter in The Wall Street Journal, for instance, writes that the economic gap between whites and blacks has widened. He offers no evidence. The picture drawn of racial relations is even bleaker. In one poll, for instance, 85 percent of blacks, but only 34 percent of whites, agreed with the verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. That racially divided response made headline news. Blacks and whites, media accounts would have us believe, are still separate and hostile. Division is a constant theme, racism another.To be sure, racism has not disappeared, and race relations could —and probably will —improve. But the serious inequality that remains is less a function of racism than of the racial gap in levels of educational attainment, single parenthood and crime. The bad news has been exaggerated, and the good news neglected. Consider these three trends:A black middle class has arrived. Andrew Young recalls the day he was mistaken for a valet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It was an infuriating case of mistaken identity for a man who was then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.But it wasn?t so long ago that most blacks were servants—or their equivalent. On the eve ofWorld War II, a trivial five percent of black men were engaged in white-collar work of any kind, and six out of ten African-American women were employed as domestics.In 1940 there were only 1,000 practicing African-American lawyers; by 1995 there were over 32,000, about four percent of all attorneys.Today almost three-quarters of African-American families have incomes above the government poverty line. Many are inthe middle class, according to one useful index—earning double the government poverty level; in 1995 this was $30,910 for a two-parent family with two children and $40,728 for a two-parent family with four children. Only one black family in 100 enjoyed a middle-class income in 1940; by 1995 it was 49 in 100. And more than 40 percent of black households also own their homes. That? s a huge change.The typical white family still earns a lot more than the black family because it is more likely to collect two paychecks. But if we look only at married couples—much of the middle class—the white-black income gap shrinks to 13 percent. Much of that gap can be explained by the smaller percentage of blacks with college degrees, which boost wages, and the greater concentration of blacks in the South, where wages tend to be lower.Blacks are moving to the suburbs. Following the urban riots of the mid-1960s, the presiden-tial Kerner Commission14 concluded that the nation? s future was menaced by “accelerating segrega-tion”—black central cities and whites outside the core. That segregation might well blow the country apart, it said.It? s true that whites have continued to leave inner cities for the suburbs, but so, too, have blacks. The number of black suburban dwellers in the last generation has almost tripled to 10.6 million. In 1970 metropolitan Atlanta, for example, 27 percent of blacks lived in the suburbs with 85 percent of whites. By 1990, 64 percent of blacks and 94 percent of whites resided there.This is not phony integration, with blacks moving from one all-black neighborhood into another. Most of the movement has brought African-Americans into neighborhoods much lessblack15 than those they left behind, thus increasing integration. By 1994 six in ten whites reported that they lived in neighborhoods with blacks.Residential patterns do remain closely connected to race. However, neighborhoods have become more racially mixed, and residential segregation has been decreasing.Bigotry has declined. Before World Was ft, Gunnar Myrdal16 roamed the South researching An American Dilemma, the now-classic book that documented17 the chasm betwe en the nation?s ideals and its racial practices, hi one small Southern city, he kept asking whites how he could find “Mr. Jim Smith,” an African-American who was principal of a black high school. No one seemed to know who he was. After he finally found Smith, Myrdal was told that he should have just asked for “Jim.” That? s how great was white aversion to dignifying African-Americans with “Mr.” Or “Mrs.”Bigotry was not just a Southern problem. A national survey in the 1940s asked whether “Ne-groes shoul d have as good a chance as white people to get any kind of job.” A majority of whites said that “white people should have the first chance at any kind of job.”19. Such a question would not even be asked today. Except for a lunatic fringe18, no whites would sign on to such a notion.1920. In 1964 less than one in five whites reported having a black friend. By 1989 more than two out of three did. And more than eight often African -Americans had a white friend.21. What about the last taboo?20 In 1963 ten percent of whites approved of black-white dating; by 1994 it was 65 percent. Interracial marriages? Four percent of whites said it was okay in1958; by 1994 the figure had climbed more than elevenfold, to 45 percent. These surveys measure opinion, but behavior has also changed. In 1963 less than one percent of marriages by African- Americans were racially mixed. By 1993, 12 percent were.22. Today black Americans can climb the ladder to the top.21 Ann M. Fudge is already there; she?s in charge of manufacturing, promotion and sales at the $2.7-billion Maxwell House Coffee and Post Cereals divisions of Kraft Foods.22 So are Kenneth Chenault, president and chief operating officer at American Express23 and Richard D. Parsons, president of Time Warner, Inc.24 After the 1988 Demo-cratic Convention25, the Rev. Jesse Jackson26 talked about his chances of making it to the White House. “I may not get there,” he said “But it is possible for our child ren to get there now.”23. Even that seems too pessimistic. Consider how things have improved since Colin and Alma Powell27 packed their belongings into a V olkswagen28 and left Fort Devens, Mass., for Fort Bragg, N. C. “I remember passing Woodbridgc, Va.,” General Powell wrote in his autobiogra phy, “and not finding even a gas-station bathroom that we were allowed to use.” That was in 1962. In 1996 reliable polls suggest he could have been elected President.24. Progress over the last half-century has been dramatic. As Corctta Scott King wrote not long ago, the ideals for which her husband Martin Luther King Jr. died, have become “deeply embedded in the very fabric of America29.”From Reader?s Digest, March, 1998V. Analysis of Content1. According to the author, ___________A. racism has disappeared in AmericaB. little progress has been made in race relationsC. media reports have exaggerated the racial gapD. media accounts have made people believe that the gap between blacks and whites has become narrower2.

The last taboo in the article is about ____________.A. political status of America?s minority peopleB. economic status of America? s minori ty peopleC. racial integrationD. interracial marriages4. Gunnar Myrdal kept asking whites how he could find “Mr. Jim Smith,” but no one seemed to know who he was, because _____________.A. there was not such a person called Jim SmithB. Jim Smith was not famousC. the whites didn …t know Jim SmithD. the white people considered that a black man did not deserve the title of “Mr.”5. In the author?s opinion, _A. few black Americans can climb the ladder to the topB. Jesse Jackson? s words in th is article seemed toopessimisticC.
