Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at least 25 percent of the nation’s wealth. This class has two segments: upper upper and lower upper. Basically, the upper class is the "old rich"—families that have been wealthy for several generations and aristocracy (贵族) of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rock-fellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion (深居简出) , drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower upper class is the "new rich". Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled(急于做)to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.
However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, paintings, and sculptures. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind—all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out of sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreign Relations, and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions.
We can learn from the passage that______.

本题是一道引申推断类问题。问我们可以从本文中推断出什么。文章第二段第五句和第六句指出,上层社会的人有巨大的权力,他们对国内外事务都有很大影响,因为,他们操纵着对外关系委员会,控制着许多跨国公司。他们的行为影响着上百万人的生活。因此,我们可以推断出,上层社会的人权重责大、官大势大,有极大的影响力。所以,本题的正确答案应是A。
