The American Dream has been described as "a dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyoneThis dream became reality once in the United States,but are Americans today enjoying the standard of living that their parents and grandparents enjoyed in the post-war years?
After the Second World War,many Americans became richer and their living standards increased as the economy grew. From 1945 to 1973,incomes increased by about 3% per year. From the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s,incomes rose very slowly,but then they increased sharply for five years between 1995 and 2000. Overall,incomes have been rising by less and less each year and now the annual increase is almost nothing.
Job security and unemployment also play a role in the standard of living. Nowadays,factories and offices are closing,so jobs are less secure. Unemployment,too,is higher than it was in the past. The number of people without a job in the 1950s fell to around 2. 5%, but now this figure stands at around 9. 5%.
Another measure of the standard of living is the health of the population. Life expectancy is an important measurement of the health in a country. Life expectancy has increased from 68 years old in 1950 to 78 today,but the United States is now behind Germany and the United Kingdom (80) , France (81) and Japan (82) . One reason for this problem with life expectancy in the United States is obesity,because this has an effect on the general health of the population. In the United States,35% of adults are obese now,compared wilh 10% in 1950. This increase is due to the consumption of fast food.
Of course,most Americans own more things than in the post-war years such as TVs and phones. However,some economists would argue that the standard of living cannot be rising if people are becoming less healthy,or if they cannot afford to retire. It seems that although we think we have a better standard of living,this may not be the real picture.
9. According to the text,which of the following is a measurement of the health in a country?
A. Obesity rate. B. Life expectancy.
C. The food people eat. D. The exercise people do.
10. How does the author probably feel about the standard of living in America today?
A. Hopeful. B. Surprised.
C. Dissatisfied. D. Uninterested.
11. The author introduces American people's living standards mainly by.
A. listing figures and making comparisons
B. following the order of importance
C. following the order of space
D. giving definitions
12. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
CP: Central Point P: Point
Sp: Sub-point (次要點) C: Conclusion

Mathematical ability and musical ability may not seem to be connected on the surface,but people who have researched the subject and studied the brain say that they are. Research for my book Late-Talking Children drove home the point to me. Three quarters of the bright but speech-delayed children in the group I studied had a close relative who was an engineer,a ma.thematician or a scientist,and four fifths had a close relative who played a musical instrument. The children themselves usually took readily to mathematics and other analytical subjects or to music.
Black,white and Asian children in this group showed the same patterns. However,it is clear that blacks have been greatly overrepresented in the development of American popular music and greatly underrepresented in such fields as mathematics,science and engineering.
If the abilities required in analytical fields and in music are so closely related,how can there be this great discrepancy? One reason is that the development of mathematical and other such abilities requires years of formal schooling,while certain musical talents can be developed with little or no formal training,which has happened with a number of well-known black musicians.
It is precisely in those kinds of music where one can acquire great skills without formal training that blacks have excelled（擅長） in popular music rather than classical music,piano rather than violin,and blues rather than opera. This is readily understandable,given that most blacks,for most of American history,have not had either the money or the leisure for long years of formal study in music.
Blacks have not merely held their own in American popular music. They have played an extremely large role in the development of jazz,both traditional and modem. None of this presupposes any special (先天的) ability of blacks in music. On the contrary,it is perfectly consistent with blacks having no more such inborn ability than anyone else,but being limited to being able to express such ability in narrower channels than others who have had the money,the time and the formal education to spread out over a wider range of musie,as well as into mathematics,science and engineering.
9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1 ?
A. More people are good at music than mathematics.
B. Most talented people are good at analytical subjects.
C. Mathematical ability and musical ability are connected.
D. Mathematical ability is more important than musical ability.
10. The underlined word “discrepancy” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A. purpose B. difference
C. innate ability D. analytical ability
11. Blacks are extremely good at popular music because.
A. they lack formal training ^
B. they don't like classical music
C. they lack strong analytical ability
D. violin and opera are harder for them
12. Which of the following questions is the text mainly concerned with?
A. What kinds of music require formal training?
B. What contributions have black musicians made?
C. Can kids’ musical ability and mathematical ability be influenced by their relatives?
D. Why have blacks excelled in popular music in American history?
