During the past generation, the
American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to
keep itself financially secure had been transformed by economic risk and new
realties. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce
a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months.
In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work,
transforming basic family economics. Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all
stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have
looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today's families have
budgeted to the limits of theirs new two-paycheck status. As a result, they have
lost the parachuted they once had in times of financial setback—a back-up earner
(usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off
or fell sick. This "added-worker effect" could support the safety net offered by
unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad
times. But today, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with
extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner. During the
same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their
retirement income. Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto
industry are joining millions of families who must worry about interest rates,
stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their
retirement money. For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move
Social Security to a saving-ac- count model, with retirees trading much or all
of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on in- vestment returns. For
younger families the picture is not any better. Both the absolute cost of
healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen—and newly
fashionable health-saving plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wal-Mart
workers, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk
for families' future healthcare. Even demographics are working
against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent-and
all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance—have jumped
eightfold in just one generation. From the middle-class family
perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to
exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening
acceleration of the whole- sale shift of financial risk onto their already
overburdened shoulders. The financial fallout has begun, and the political
fallout may not be far behind.

单选题A few common misconceptions. Beauty is only skin-deep. One's physical assets and liabilities don't count all that much in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best. Over the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not-so-beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than most of us realize. The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted. Un-American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists have caught us mouthing pieties (虔诚) while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give each member of a group-college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporate personnel managers a piece of paper relating an individual's accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly attractive person, some an average-looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted. Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good. In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making its easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire to managerial positions do not get on as well as women who may be less attractive.
