问题 What question does John Kenneth Galbraith raise in his book The Affluent Society?
Why do people feel squeezed when their average income rises considerably?

选项 A、Their material pursuits have gone far ahead of their earnings.
B、Their purchasing power has dropped markedly with inflation.
C、The distribution of wealth is uneven between the rich and the poor.
D、Health care and educational costs have somehow gone out of control.

答案A

解析 由题干中的squeezed定位到第4段末句People feel“squeezed”because their rising incomes often don’t satisfy their rising wants—for bigger homes,more health care,more education,faster Internet connections. A)可视为第4段末句中People feel“squeezed”because their rising incomes often don’t satisfy their rising wants的同义转述,其中have gone far ahead of与文中的don’t satisfy对应,说明提高的收入永远赶不上人们膨胀的需求。
