16、by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge(标准) people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I m treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone
17、paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned(示意) me back with his finger minutes later, complaining he was ready to order and asking wh
18、ere I d been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon(勤杂工) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults.Besides, people responded to me differendy after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke
19、that one day I d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world workedcordially (友善地) .I soon found out differently, I
20、sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen
21、that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.It s no secret that there s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industr
22、y, by definition, exists to cater to others needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn t get the difference between server and servant.I m now applying to graduate school, which means someday Ill return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I
23、think Ill take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.41 The author was disappointed to find that_.（A）one s position is used as a gauge to measure: one s intelligence（B） talented people like her fail to get a respectable job（C） one s occupation affects t

29、more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. For them, cheerleading is just leading cheers. If the girls are doing dances on the sidelines(球场边) or they re holding a sign trying to get a crowd response, that technically would t be considered a sport. While sideline cheerleaders main goal
30、 is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, the competitive cheerleaders are playing to win.A sport, according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisers, is a “physical activity or competition against or with an opponent (对手) , governed by rules and conditions under whic
31、h a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants. “ Because competitive cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport. Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts (体操运动员) , cheerleade
32、rs must learn to tumble(翻跟头).They perform standing back flips (蹦跳)， round flip flops, and full layout twists. Cheerleaders also perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers“ are thrown in the air, held by “bases“ in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammate
33、s.Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.Competitive cheerleaders goal is to be the best. Just
34、like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a stunt(绝技) , the sharper and more in-sync(同步) , the higher score they can get. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation and synchronization(同步) , first place is out of reach.46

I don t know if theyll be able to achie
39、ve their American dream. “She may be right. More than hard work or education, the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich.It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income, with poor scores, at the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade is more likely to go to colleg
40、e and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores. That s what the working persons children are up against.The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status. That s about 200 years. The typical feature of America
41、n opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries, the United States ranks fifth out of six for so-called intergenerational mobility(变动).If you look at the mechanisms(机制) for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years
42、 ago, they are becoming out of reach, like plentiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care.White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile. For most people in America today, where you end up depends on where you start.If you started in the middle-in
43、come class, about 40 to 45 percent of what you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle-income class.
