The loudest outcry(呐喊)about poverty seemed to come in the wealthiest country— by far—in the world. According to most calculations, through most of the 1945—1970 period the United States had a standard of living well above Europe’s and many times above the world average. Yet protests about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need proceed more from the United States than from countries with one-fortieth of their living standard.(An annual per capita income of eight dollars is typical of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America.)It would seem strange to these people(were they only aware of the fact)that American radicals demand a retreat from an American commitment to the far corners of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent raising the standard of living of underprivileged Americans.
What this last point suggests is not so much that human wants are never to be satisfied though this is doubtlessly true, and the American living in suburb deprived of his second car and his color TV suffers just as acutely as an African farmer in need of a second cow and a screen door. Rather, it suggests the extent of contemporary breach(违反)of social norm(标准)—the emancipation(解放)of the individual self. People have learned that their wants are sacred and rights ought to be satisfied. They have learned to consider any obstacle to personal fulfillment and intolerable insult. They have greatly expanded the circle of self-awareness. They no longer accept sharp limitations on individual desires in the name of the group. The amount of potential human discontent has always been infinite—misery, failure, misfitting, bitterness, hatred, envy beyond telling. It has usually failed of utterance, and in the past it was accepted passively as being beyond help.
The average income for each American a year during the 1960s was most likely in the neighborhood of______.
选项
A、1 120 dollars
B、40 dollars
C、320 dollars
D、80 dollars
答案
C
解析
本题是细节推断题。根据第一段内容可知,20世纪五六十年代亚非及南美一些国家人均年收入为8美元,是美国的1/40,所以美国的人均收人大约为320美元。
