Low wages, chronic unemployment and underemployment lead to low income, lack of property ownership, absence of savings, absence of food reserves in the home, and a chronic shortage of cash. These conditions reduce the possibility of effective participation in the larger economic system. As a response to these conditions, we find in the
culture of poverty
a high
incidence
of pawning personal goods, borrowing from local money-lenders at higher rates of interest, spontaneous informal credit devices organized by neighbors, the use of second-hand clothing and furniture, and the pattern of frequent buying of small quantities of food many times a day as the need arises.
People with a culture of poverty produce very little wealth and receive very little in return. They have a low level of
literacy
and education, usually do not belong to labor unions, are not members of political parties, generally do not participate in the national welfare agencies, and make very little use of banks, hospitals, department stores, museums or art galleries. They have a critical attitude toward some of the basic institutions of the dominant classes, hatred of the police, mistrust of government and those in high position, and a cynicism which extends even to the church. This gives the culture of poverty a high potential for protest and for being used in political movements aimed against the existing social order.
People with a culture of poverty are aware of middle-class values, talk about them and even claim some of them as their own, but on the whole, they do not live by them. Thus, it is important to
distinguish between what they say and what
they do. For example, many will tell you that marriage by law, by the church, or by both is the ideal form of marriage, but few will marry. To men who have no steady jobs or other sources of income, who do not own property and have no wealth to pass on to their children, who are present-time-oriented and who want to avoid the expense and legal difficulties involved in formal marriage and divorce, free unions or consensual marriages make a lot of sense. Women will often turn down offers of marriage because they feel it ties them down to men who are immature, punishing and generally unreliable. Women feel that consensual union gives them a better break; it gives them some of the freedom and flexibility that men have. By not giving the fathers of their children legal status as husbands, the women have a stronger claim on their children if they decide to leave their men. It also gives women exclusive rights to a house or any other property they may own.
A conclusion can be drawn from Paragraph 3 that men and women in the culture of poverty_____.
选项
A、consider themselves unworthy of legal marriage
B、cannot get married and raise a family of their own
C、do not trust each other as faithful husbands and wives
D、avoid legal marriages for practical and economic reasons
答案
D
解析
第3段第4句提到贫困男性不愿结婚的几个原因,其中有工作不稳定、没有财产、想避开开销和法律麻烦等。而第5至最后一句提到女性不愿结婚的几个原因,其中有获得一些男性拥有自由和权利、对孩子有更大的拥有权、获得其房屋和其他财产的专属权利等。总的来说,穷人拒绝结婚是出于经济原因和实际原因,故选D。
