Wheres the Beef? This passage offers some (but only some) of the answers, and points you to other inte

3、rnet sources that can help you find the rest of the answers. Heres a brief “FAQ“ (Frequently Asked Questions) on Generation X: How did we get this name, “Generation X“ anyway? Blame Douglas Coupland of British Columbia, Canada, for one. It was also the name of a British Punk group in the 1970s featu

4、ring 1980s soloist Billy Idol. In a 1995 interview, Coupland denied any connection, saying: “The books title came not from Billy Idols band, as many supposed, but from the final chapter of a funny sociological book on American class structure titled Class, by Paul Fussell. In his final chapter, Fuss

5、ell named an “X“ category of people who wanted to hop off the merry-go-round of status, money, and social climbing that so often frames modern existence.“ Whatever you say, Doug. When Coupland wrote his book in 1991, the phrase was picked up by marketers desperately seeking a name for the “generatio

6、n without a name“. Of course theres been much discussion about “slackers“ (懒惰的人) comes to mind. Other popular terms are “Thirteeners“ or “13th Generation“, which came from a book by Neil Howe and William Strauss called “Generations“, in which we are listed as the 13th generation of the USA since 162

7、0. Who exactly is Gen-X? This question is in hot dispute. In the mid-1980s the Gen-Xers had been labeled “Baby Busters“ (生育低谷期出生的人), due to the low birthrates of the 1965-1975 age bracket. Demographers (人口统计学家) noticed as early as 1966 that the “boom“ (婴儿潮) was over, and began planning and budgeting

8、 downward for this massive change from the “boom“ in birth between 1946-1964. (These “Boomer“ dates, by the way, have never been in doubt nor have they been doubted or tampered with by the media.) Today, however, many people lump (将.看作一体) those born in the years 1961-1981 together. Why 1961? Despite

No trip to Hawaii is complete without visiting Oahu, which has the nightlife of Waikiki and the history of Pearl Harbor (pearl-).

14、Nor is there any other about which more nonsense is talked. The type of thing that comes to mind is not what is normally called economic, which is inexact rather than senseless, and only in the same way as all sciences are at the point where they try to predict peoples behavior and its consequences.

15、 Indeed most social sciences and, for example, medicine could probably be described in the same way. However, it is common to hear assertions of the kind “if you were exiled to a desert island a few seed potatoes would be more useful to you than a million pounds“ as though this proved something impo

16、rtant about money except the undeniable fact that it would not be much use to anyone in a situation where very few of us are at all likely to find ourselves. Money in fact is a token, or symbolic object, exchangeable on demand by its holders for goods and services, its use for these purposes is univ

17、ersal except within a small number of primitive agricultural communities. Money and the price mechanism, i.e., the changes in prices expressed in money terms of different goods and services, are the means by which all modern societies regulate demand and supply for these things. Especially important

18、 are the relative changes in price of different goods and services compared with each other. To take random examples: the price of the house-building has over the past five years risen a good deal faster than that of domestic appliances like refrigerators, but slower than that of motor insurance or

19、French Impressionist paintings. This fact has complex implications for students of the brick industry, trade unionism, town planning, insurance companies, fine-arts auctions, and politics. Unpacking these implications is what economics is about, but their implications for bankers are quite different

20、 In general, in modern industrialized societies, prices of services or goods produced on a context requiring a high service-content(e, g., a meal in a restaurant) are likely to rise in price more rapidly than goods capable of mass-production on a large scale. It is also a characteristic of highly-d

21、eveloped economies that the number of workers employed in service industries tends to rise and that of workers employed in manufacturing to fall. The discomfort truth causes the big general trade unions as they contrast their own situation with that of the rapidly growing white- collar unions has be

23、 social sciences because a lot of nonsense is talked about itD.different from social sciences which try to forecast the way people behave(2).In the authors view, the assertion that money would be useless on a desert island_.（分数：17.70）A.illustrates one limitation to the importance of moneyB.is only o

25、y means of money and the price mechanismC.by keeping a watchful eye on relative price changesD.by direct intervention in the pricing of goods and services(4).The author suggests that economics is concerned with_.（分数：17.70）A.explaining to bankers the consequences of price changesB.giving the same fin

27、loy more people than manufacturing industries doD.try to reduce their employees and to combat rising costsMost Americans spend far more of their leisure time with the mass media than in any other occupation. In addition, most of us hear, see, or read some of the media while engaged in other activiti

28、es. Thus an extremely large number of our waking hours are spent with the mass media. Of all the media, television is clearly dominant, with newspapers a close second, at least as a source of news and other information. Our exposure to all media is important, however, because all of them contribute

29、materials for the construction of that world in our heads. For most people, increased use of one medium does not decrease use of another. In fact, in certain cases, and especially for certain purposes, the more one uses one medium, the more likely one is to use others. There are various factors that

30、 can cause you to expose yourself to the media selectively, avoiding much of the material with which you disagree. Some of that selective exposure is probably due to the psychological pressure you feel to avoid the discomfort caused by confrontation with facts and ideas contrary to your beliefs, att

31、itudes, or behavior. However, some selective exposure is not due to the pressure for consistency but to other factors, such as your age, education, and even the area in which you live and the people with whom you associate. Quite a different sort of factor that affects your media experiences is the

32、social context of exposure: whether you are alone or with others when you are exposed to a medium; whether you are at home, at the office, in a theater, and so on. These contexts are as much as a potential part of the message you will form as film images on the screen or words on the page. In additi

33、on, that social context affectsboth directly and indirectlythe media and the media content to which you become exposed. New friends or colleagues get you interested in different things. Other members of the family often select media content that you would not have selected, and you become exposed to

34、 it. These various factors have so much influence on your media exposure that so little of that exposure is planned. （分数：-1.00）(1).Why are newspapers considered as an important medium according to the passage?（分数：-0.20）_(2).Exposure to all media is important because they all contribute materials for
