My heart sank when the man at the
immigration counter gestured to the back room. I'm an American born and
raised,and this was Miami,where I live,but they weren't quite ready to let me in
yet. "Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber," the immigration
officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He
was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when
I'd flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45
minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was
startled that I was being sent"in back"once again. The officer
behind the counter called me up and said, "Miss, your name looks like the name
of someone who's on our wanted list. We're going to have to check you out with
Washington." "How long will it take?" "Hard to
say...a few minutes," he said. "We'll call you when we're ready for
you." After an hour, Washington still hadn't decided anything
about me. "Isn't this computerized?" I asked at the counter. "Can't you just
look me up?" Just a few more minutes, they assured me.
After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I
was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. "No phones!" he said.
"For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them
information." "I'm just a university professor," I said. My
voice came out in a squeak. "Of course you are. And we take
people like you out of here in leg irons every day." I put my
phone away. My husband and I were getting hungry and tired.
Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed
with excitable children, exhausted parents, even a flight attendant.
I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: "I'm an American
citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children." Or
would that all be counted against me? After two hours in
detention, I was approached by one of the officers. "You're free to go," he
said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved, we were
still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet. "Oh, one more
thing." He handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it. "If you weren't
happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency." "Will
they respond?" I asked. "I don't know--I don't know of anyone
who's ever written to them before." Then he added, "By the way, this will
probably keep happening each time you travel internationally."
"What can I do to keep it from happening again?" He smiled
the empty smile we'd seen all day. "Absolutely nothing." After
telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I've
heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago,my own graduate school
writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers
wouldn't stick me in what he called "the ethnic ghetto"--a separate, secondary
shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone's personal and
professional identi-ty-just like the town you're born in and the place where
you're raised. Like my father, I'll keep the name, but my
airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and
tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever
be this hard.

单选题 Opinion polls are now beginning to show an unwilling
general agreement that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on,
high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find
ways of sharing the available employment more widely. But we
need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of
work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather
encourage many other ways of self-respecting people to work? Should we not
create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an
employment? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as
well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work?
The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which
most people's work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be
coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may
have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could
offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its
history shows, has not meant economic freedom. Employment
became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many
people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus
of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system
destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people's home. Later, as
transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer
distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people's work
lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they
lived. Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. It
became customary fro the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the
unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. It was not only women whose work
status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people
and old people were excluded—a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated
at school and more retired people want to lead active lives.
All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some
effort and resources away from the impractical goal of creating jobs for all, to
the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time
job.

{{B}}TEXT A{{/B}} One of the questions that
is coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources of many kinds in
the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the
international development community, the conventional wisdom has been that the 2
billion people living in poor countries could never expect to reach the standard
of living that most of us in North America enjoy, simply because the world does
not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on①. At the
same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super affluence as
though there were no limits on how much we could consume. We make up 6 percent
of the world's people; yet we consume one-third of the world's
resources. As long as the resources we consumed each year came
primarily from within our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter.
But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, "outsiders'' are
going to have some stay over the rate at which and terms under which we consume.
We will no longer be able to think in terms of "our" resources and "their"
resources, but only of common resources.
As Americans consuming such a disproportionate share of the world's
resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of
super affluence in a world of scarcity. We are now reaching the point where we
must carefully examine the presumed link between our level of well-being and the
level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread, then an
additional crust of bread doesn't make that much different. In the eyes of most
of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still
more. People elsewhere are beginning to ask why. This is the question we're
going to have to answer, whether we're trying to persuade countries to step up
their exports of oil to us or trying to convince them that we ought to be
permitted to maintain our share of the world fish catch②.
The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition for, the world's resources
require that we reexamine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world.
It means we find ways of cutting back on resource consumption that is dependent
on the resources and cooperation of other countries. We cannot expect people in
these countries to concern themselves with our worsening energy and food
shortages unless we demonstrate some concern for the hunger, illiteracy and
disease that are diminishing life for them③.
