朱永涛《英美文化基础教程》课后习题详解（美国文化美国人的特点）【圣才出品】
朱永涛《英美⽂化基础教程》课后习题详解（美国⽂化美国⼈的特点）【圣才出品】第6章美国⼈的特点I.Explain the following in English:1.The pioneering spirit【答案】(1)In the mid-nineteenth century,it was this pioneering spirit that led American settlers to travel westward by the thousands in search of land and gold.(2)It is still an important part of the American character.(3)Today,Northerners and Midwesterners are attracted to the West because of good business opportunities and a mild climate.2.The residential shifting in America【答案】(1)In America,the desire to start a new life in a new place is noticeable throughout the nation.(2)About40million Americans change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime,compared to five moves for the average Japanese.(3)Some people believe that the highly mobile American society leaves individuals with feelings of root-lessens,isolation,indifference to community welfare,and shallow personal relationships.They want the Americans to rediscover the natural human community.3.American democracy【答案】(1)The creation of American democracy is one of the greatest experiments of all times started by American founding fathers.(2)Under American democracy,’the citizens of the United States,through their elected representatives,establish the nation’s laws and determine its policies.(3)In the author’s opinion,American democracy means majority rule,but it also means protection of minority rights which are outlined in the first ten amendments to the Constitution,known as the Bill of Rights.(4)In the United States,democracy is not only a form of government;it is also a way of life.4.Equality in American society【答案】It does not mean that all human beings are equal in ability or ambition.It means,instead,that all people should be treated equally before the law and given equal privileges and opportunities,insofar as government can control these.In practice,this ideal often does not work perfectly.There have always been those who would deny the rights of others for their own self-interest.There are times when the American people need to be reminded that any denial of basic rights is a weakening of the total system.However,equal treatment and equal opportunity for all are ideals toward which American society is moving ever closer.5.Horatio Alger myth【答案】(1)Horatio Alger was a nineteenth-century American novelist who wrote stories about poor boys who became successful through hard work.(2)These popular“rags-to-riches”stories exemplified the American Dream.(3)The myth inspired a lot of Americans to work hard for success.6.The American Dream【答案】(1)It is the belief that any individual,no matter how poor,can achieve wealth and fame through diligence and virtue.(2)The American Dream symbolized the American belief in equality of opportunity.(3)It attracted a lot of people in the other parts of the world to immigrate to America and inspired them to rise on the social and economic scales.7.Social Mobility【答案】Social mobility-movement from class to class-has always been characteristic of the United States.However,although sociologists talk of the country’s class structure,most Americans do not think in these terms.They do not see themselves as struggling to move from the lower middle class to the upper middle class. Instead they think in terms of higher income to pay for a bigger house,a trip to Europe,summer camp for their children,or more retirement insurance.8.Ralf Nader【答案】(1)In1965,he published a shocking book telling the American public that their automobiles were unnecessarily dangerous.(2)As a result of his efforts,the huge automobile industry was forced to produce a safer product.(3)His success in dealing with the auto industry inspired others to campaign for better products and triggered the consumer protection revolution in the US.9.Materialistic outlook of Americans【答案】Because of their tremendous expenditures for goods and services, Americans are often accused of being materialistic,of valuing above all else money and the comforts and pleasures that money buys.10.Idealistic outlook【答案】They ask much more of life than just day-to-day enjoyment and financial security.They ask that life be meaningful.In choosing careers,Americans consider the significance of their work just as important as the income the job will bring. Also,most Americans are still under the influence of the Protestant ethic,which considers a life of pleasure sinful and hard work ennobling.Americans place great value upon useful activity.In fact,many cannot enjoy their expanding number of leisure hours unless most of their“free”time is spent doing something constructive—such as working on the lawn or cleaning out the garage.II.Fill in the blanks:1.The New Englander is often described as_____and_____;the Southerner as_____ and_____;the westerneras_____and_____.【答案】stern,self-reliant;gracious,leisurely;casual,friendly【解析】新英格兰⼈通常被看作是严肃、⾃⽴的；南部各州的⼈是亲切悠闲的；西部的⼈则很随意并且友好。
