Almost half of all homes, about 46%, have six or more rooms. More than 15% have eight rooms or more.Almost one in five families have three or more cars. And more workers are opting out of carpools and mass transit to drive to work alone.But this lifestyle comes at a cost when incomes are stagnating and housing prices are soaring.In a separate report on poverty and income, the Census Bureau reported that median household income, when adjusted for inflation, remained flat last year.But the survey of how Americans live finds that more than 22% of homeowners spent at least 35% of their income on housing in 2003, up from 19% in 2000. And 38% of renters spent as much, up from 33% in 2000."Our wages stopped growing, but our wants kept going," says Robert Lang, a demographer who heads the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech."People will just suffer a little and pay a bigger mortgage to hold on to their dreams," he says.The latest snapshot of American life comes from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. The annual survey of 800,000 households asks the same questions as the Census that is taken every 10 years. The 2003 numbers offer a look at how the nation has changed in the wake of recession and terrorist attacks, and they hint at social trends shaping the decade."Even though the economy took a dive, the initial shock of 911 has worn off," says William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington. "People are buying bigger homes, more cars. "Riding record-low interest rates, housing prices have skyrocketed. The percentage of homeowners who live in houses valued at more than $500,000 doubled since 2000, to more than 6%.And one in eight homeowners live in homes valued at $300,000 to $499,999.About half still live in homes that cost less than $150,000, the typical price range for working-class families and young couples buying their first homes. But that number has dropped sharply from almost 64% in 2000.Even in North Dakota, which has the lowest housing value in the nation, prices rose. The median value of a house there went up 10% to $81,796 since 2000. Nationally, the median value rose 22% to $147,275.The survey reflects other changes:▲The percentage of homes without telephone service rose to 3.8%, from 3% in 2000, which reflects the increased dependence on cellular phones."A lot of dorms have no phone service now," Lang says. "Kids go to college, and not one of them has a real phone. They're all cells. "▲The educational level is on the rise. More than a quarter of the population has a bachelor's degree or higher. And the percentage of high school graduates continues to climb, up 2 percentage points to 83.6%.The ratio of college grads to high school dropouts has increased. There are 1.62 college grads for every dropout, up from 1.35 in 2000.This "brains-to-brawn" ratio reflects the shift from a blue-collar to a knowledge economy, Frey says.▲Americans are spending about the same 24 minutes commuting to work, but almost 78% are driving alone, up from 76.3% in 2000. The exception is so-called "exurban" counties across the USA, such as Pasco County, north of Tampa, and McHenry and Kane counties outside Chicago. They experienced significant increases in commuting times.Use of other forms of transportation, from walking to riding a bus, dropped. But the percentage of people working from home increased slightly.▲All racial groups are growing, except for whites who are not Hispanic. Whites make up 76.1% of the population, down from 77.3% in 2000. They're expected to make up half of the population within 50 years.▲The foreign-born population continues to grow but so does the share of immigrants becoming citizens. 41.4%, up almost 1 percentage point since 2000.Because naturalized citizens can vote, there has been a push to encourage naturalization before the upcoming presidential election.▲Veterans, who have taken center stage in the race for the White House, make up a relatively large share of several battleground states such as Maine, New Mexico, Florida, Nevada and Arizona.▲Although still in the minority at 48.9%, men make up a growing share of the population. Frey attributes the change to male-dominated immigration flows from Latin America.

Much of our business communication takes place on the phone: in the office, at home, in the car, virtually anywhere. In this area, proper phone technique can make or break deals or relationships The following are some guidelines to help you use the phone as a powerful tool. First is the greeting. When answering the phone for business, be sure to identify yourself (and your company, if applicable).{{U}} (8) {{/U}}Thus, the other party does not think they have reached a wrong number. Use proper phone etiquette from the start. You want to be sure to be polite to the gatekeepers i. e. secretaries, receptionists etc. that answer the phone for your business contacts, as they are the ones who have the power to put you through. They may sit outside the office, but they too have influence and power so a greeting such as "Good morning" is important.{{U}} (9) {{/U}}Some business relationships, especially in fields like sales, start or stall right at the front desk. When you have reached the party, if your call has been expected, remind them of the prior conversation and appointment. People get busy and can seem surprised until you remind them of where they should remember you from.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}Calling unannounced is much like dropping in and you shouldn't overstay unless invited. If the other person does not have time, briefly state the purpose of your call and ask for an appointment to follow up at a later time. Have a phone diary. Keep a pencil and pad near the phone and jot notes during phone conversations. This will help you actively listen and have a reference for later.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}This lets the other person know that you care about what they have to say. Recap at the end of the call, using your notes, and repeat any resolutions or commitments on either side to be sure you are both on the same page. End the call on a positive note by thanking the other person for their time and express an interest in speaking with them again (if that is true).{{U}} (12) {{/U}}A gracious goodbye leaves the door open for further communication and in this day of mergers and acquisitions you never know with whom you will be doing business with in the future, so burning any bridges, or telephone lines, would be unwise.A. Employ active listening noises such as 'yes' or 'I see' or 'great'.B. It would also be wise to learn and use the names of the top assistants.C. If not, just let them know you appreciated them speaking with you and end the call.D. If your call is not expected, unless it will be a short call, ask the party if they have the time for you.E. Remember, do not end the call abruptly.F. If answering someone else's line, be sure to include their name in your speaking.G. In this area, proper phone technique can make or break deals or relationships.

填空题·Read the article below about macroeconomic policies.·Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.·For each gap 8--12, mark one letter (A--G) on your Answer Sheet.·Do not use any letter more than once. {{B}}MACROECONOMIC POLICIES{{/B}}For most countries, the following four principal objectives of economic policy would apply: (1) Maintenance of employment at a high level. (2) Stable prices. (3) Economic growth. (4) Balance of payments equilibrium. These objectives are sometimes extremely difficult to achieve. A high level of employment, for example, tended to push wages and hence prices up. It also created an imbalance between exports and imports. Furthermore the competition among firms for labor tended to reduce labor productivity since workers were not always fully employed.Government will differ in the emphasis they place on each of the above objectives. {{U}}(8) {{/U}}. At times when inflation was high, great stress was placed on bringing it down, but this had severe effects on jobs and on economic growth. The pursuit of an expansionary policy very often resulted in an increase in GDP and a fall in the level of unemployment; but was accompanied by a marked rise in the rate of inflation and a serious balance of payments deficit.In carrying out its economic policy, the government uses two principal means--fiscal policy and monetary policy. {{U}}(9) {{/U}} Monetary policy is broadly neutral in its effects whilst fiscal and other measures can be used more discriminately--the redistribution of incomes and lower rates of corporation tax for small businesses are two examples.Government regulation of the money supply is important for economic stability. Banks will wish to keep excess reserves when they do not foresee profitable and secure opportunities to make loans. This is likely to happen during the downswing and around the bottom of a business contraction. {{U}}(10) {{/U}}During a recession, profit-oriented banks tend to reduce the money supply by increasing their excessive reserves if the central banks did not intervene. {{U}}(11) {{/U}}.On the other hand, banks will want to squeeze possible money supply out of any given amount of cash reserves by keeping their reserves at the bare minimum when the demand for bank loans is buoyant, profits are high, and many investments suddenly start to look profitable. {{U}}(12) {{/U}} The authorities must intervene to prevent this. The monetary authorities can exercise monetary control in two ways: either they can attempt to control interest (i. e. the price of money) or they can endeavor to control the money supply.A Fiscal policy is concerned with taxation, subsidies and government spending; monetary policy, in contrast, is concerned with interest rates, the money supply and bank lending.B As the money supply is an important influence on aggregate demand such a contraction of money supply would exacerbate the severity of the recession.C This reduced incentive to hold excess reserves in prosperous times means that during an economic boom, the behavior of profit-oriented banks is likely to make the money supply expand, adding undesirable momentum to the booming economy and paving the way for a burst of inflation.D These objectives are sometimes extremely difficult to achieve.E When this occurs, the prosperity of banks to hold excess reserves will turn the money creation process into one of the money destruction.F For many years the main emphasis was on employment and balance of payments, but this adversely affected the pursuit of stable prices and economic growth.G When adopting monetary policy, the central bank usually takes action to change the equilibrium of the money market, that is, to alter the money supply, move the interest rate, or do both.
