24、” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, qui

25、et and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“Hes been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carrs arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt.

The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from

33、what they own their stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than on

34、e percent of the adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings. Income in the United States is not as highly concentrate

35、d as wealth. In 1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly

36、since the end of World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequa

37、lity is great in the United States. The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal governments poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and

38、 two children. In other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11, 200 for a family of four. By this relative de

39、finition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor. 36What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth? ATheir income and savings. BTheir house, cars and small amounts of savings. CEverything they own in their homes. DActually, they have no wealth

40、at all.37What is the percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans? ALess than 25%. BMore than 25%. CMore than 75%. DLess than 20%. 38Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth? ABecause the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income

41、between the rich and the poor. BBecause income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.CBecause the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917. DBecause some Americans made great fortunes during the Second Wo

42、rld War. 39What can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph? A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981. B. The 1981 line didnt leave much to the poor. C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line. D. There we

43、re more Americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line. 40From the last two sentences we can see that 1981 governments poverty line _. Awas of no good for the poor Bwas officially approved Cwas not helpful to the poor Dwas not put into operation then EFaced with a tough job market, fresh gradua
