Im not getting enough to eat; its time to decide whether or not to kill the rabbits. I feel pain but its a privileged chi
36、lds pain because I know I will soon be eating again. Thats not true for a lot of other children around the world.Growing up comfortably in the U.S., Ive never had to worry about my dinner, and even though this whole process was only asimulation, it changed my life.

42、ps to help others.C Have you ever gone to work to find that one of your co-workers is coughing and sneezing all day long? You do your best to keep a safe distance and wonder: Why did he or she come to work when they were ill? The reality for many Americans is that they do not have enough paid sick t
43、ime each year to afford them the luxury of staying home because they dont feel well.This problem doesnt just affect the working employees who are sick，though. In an article by James Warren forBloomberg Business Week, a second-grade school teacher, Stilli Klikizos shares about the sick children that
44、must stay in school all day long because their parents cant get off work to come and get them. In the past school year, she had several children who were unable to be picked up at school who were later diagnosed with H1N1.There is a movement called the Healthy Families Act in Congress that would cha
45、nge this situation for many Americans. The Healthy Family Act would require employers with 15 or more employees to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workers. These days could be used not only for days when the worker is sick, but the time can also be used when caring for others, or going to
46、routine doctors appointments.Those who are against the Act argue that many businesses are struggling to make ends meet owing to recession, and point out that this is the wrong time to force employers to add an additional expense.Those who support the Healthy Families Act say that our nation cant aff
47、ord to not take these measures. When an individual goes to work sick, they are possibly infecting their co-workers, clients and customers.According to a report by Katie Couric on theCBS evening news, three fourths of low wage earnersget dockedwhen they are sick.

61、pping at secondhand stores or expressing themselves in other unique ways.They call themselves hipsters. Being hip used to mean following the latest fashion. But gradually the word has become a sign of being cool，unique and unusualHipsters value independent thinking，progressive politics，an appreciati
62、on of creativity and intelligence. Hipsters take pains and pride in not being mainstream. However，their culture has become quite trendy. This irony(讽刺)is central to their culture and offers an interesting conflict.I do take things in the mainstream with a positive attitude， says Ben Polson，a college
63、 student at Brown University. But sometimes I also question what determines popularity，especially regarding music. Polson represents many hipsters.When lessknown bands become popular，they often lose their former fan base in exchange for a new one. There is a famous hipster saying that goes, I used t
64、o like that band before it got popular, Polson quoted.According to Polson，bands music changes when they go mainstream. They become less experimental，doing things just to save popularity and fans. The original elements that we were drawn to slowly disappear for the sake of popularity.Many young adult
65、s have started to view hipsters outlook as cool and they are adopting hipsters antimainstream culture mind to themselves. This has led to specialized brands，stores and music for the hipster consumers. But on the other hand，some such stores，including clothing labels Urban Outfitters and American Appa
66、rel，have gained mainstream popularity. This has seemingly made the antimainstream culture become weaker.A lot of people that are selfdefined hipsters arent really hipsters. Theyre just trying to act as hipsters to seem cooler, says Amanda Leopold，a college student from Oberlin College，US. Although L
67、eopold has many unusual tastes and seems quite individualistic，she refuses to classify herself as a hipster.57In the passage，hipsters refer to people_.Awho try to attract othersBwho are fans of pop musicCwho appear cool and unusualDwho study in different colleges58According to the author，_.Ahipsters
