For most Americans, the word "poverty" suggests destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter. But only a small number of the 35 million persons classified as "poor" by the Census Bureau fit that description.
While the poor are generally well-nourished, some poor families do experience hunger, meaning a temporary discomfort due to food shortages. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA), 13 percent of poor families and 2.6 percent of poor children experience hunger at some point during the year. In most cases, their hunger is short-term. Eighty-nine percent of the poor report their families have "enough" food to eat, while only 2 percent say they "often" do not have enough to eat.
The typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By his own report, his family is not hungry and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his family’s essential needs. While this individual’s life is not well-off, it is equally far from the popular images of frightening poverty conveyed by the press.
We can learn from the passage that the poor American life ______.
选项
A、can afford all modern products
B、means no house for the family
C、is different in the eyes of the government and the press
D、only belongs to those who do not have enough food to eat
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。本题询问我们从文章中可以了解到美国的穷人是什么样的。根据文章末句可知,美国政府定义的穷人形象和媒体宣传的穷人的形象相差甚远,故选项C(美国穷人的形象在政府和媒体眼中是不一样的)是正确答案。
