The United States of America is often seen as a nation in which the pursuit of happiness is not a dream but a reality. The sad truth is that although portrayed as an unusually easy life, life in America is as much of a struggle as in any other nation.
For example, higher level education for Americans does not come easy. Although there are scholarships , grants and loans available, if the student fails to meet the criteria he is left with only personal resources to draw from. This takes him into a life with not only a school schedule follow but perhaps, also, a work schedule and family life. These are often the difficulties that are not portrayed through the TV and movies. These are also the difficulties which many believe they will not encounter by attending an American college.
In the second place, there is financial security. Many times what is portrayed of life in America is a life where "money" is no object. The fallacy in this is that, in spite of the comparatively higher wages available, the cost of living is also higher. Even though it may seem like one is making more money, just as much is spent in surviving. Each person has their own personal struggle and money is an object for the majority of the people.
Thirdly is the belief that in American way of life, everyone has a good job. With the increasing advancements in technology, a well-paying job for those currently in the work force is getting harder to find. Those who have not been exposed to computers and other new methods of communication are finding this to be true. As it stands now, the job market is requiring at least a two-year degree from college, in order to make enough to live comfortably. Even then good paying jobs are not easy to find, as it is sometimes believed because of the portrayal of life in America.
In America, you seem to have a larger opportunity in finding a good job if you______.
选项
A、had less than two years’ life in college.
B、has a physical strength
C、have a good command of computers and communication means
D、are a good talker
答案
C
解析
语义理解题。最后一段指出“随着科技的不断进步,对目前的劳动力来说,高收入工作更难找了。那些没有接触过计算机和其他信息交流手段的人真切地体会到了这一点。”由此可知在美国如果你很好地掌握计算机和交流方式,你有更大的机会找到一个好工作,故选项C)正确。
