She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”

The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own their stoc
34、ks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than one percent of the adult p
35、opulation and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings. Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In 1917 the
36、 richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World W
37、ar II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in the Uni
38、ted States. The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal governments poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. In other
39、words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11, 200 for a family of four. By this relative definition, about 20 perce
40、nt of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor. 36What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth? ATheir income and savings. BTheir house, cars and small amounts of savings. CEverything they own in their homes. DActually, they have no wealth at all.37What is the per
41、centage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans? ALess than 25%. BMore than 25%. CMore than 75%. DLess than 20%. 38Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth? ABecause the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the
42、 poor. BBecause income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.CBecause the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917. DBecause some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War. 39What can we l
43、earn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph? A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981. B. The 1981 line didnt leave much to the poor. C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line. D. There were more Americans who we
44、re officially poor by the 1981 line. 40From the last two sentences we can see that 1981 governments poverty line _.
