Answer the questions below the text by choosing A, B, C or D.During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on h
25、ard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transformed by economic risk and new realities. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor people in a few months.In just one generation, millions of mothers
26、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. Todays families have budgeted to the limits of their new two-payche
27、ck status. As a result they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setbacka 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
28、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, ai
29、rline 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.

Both the absolute cost of healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen and newly fashionable health-sa
31、vings 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 parentand all the attendant n
32、eed for physical and financial assistancehave jumped eightfold in just one generation.From the middle-class familys 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 who

39、 only city yet to have made a demonstrable profit from the Games in 1984./U At precisely 4:20 a.m. on Friday the 24th of September 1993, it was announced that Sydney had beaten five other competing cities around the world, and Australians everywhere, not only Sydneysiders, were justifiably proud of
40、the result. U U 2 /U /UUBut, if Sydney had lost the bid, would the taxpayers of New South Wales and of Australia have approved of governments spending millions of dollars in a failed and costly exercise?/UThere may have been some consolation in the fact that the bid came in $1 million below the revi
41、sed budget and $5 million below the original budget of $29 million formulated in mid-1991. However, the final cost was the considerable sum of $24 million, the bulk of which was paid for by corporate and community contributions, merchandising, licensing, and the proceeds of lotteries, with the NSW G

U U 3 /U /UUThe Federal Governments grant of $5 million meant, in effect, that the Sydney bid was financed by every Australian taxpayer./UPrior to the announcement of the winning city, there was co
43、nsiderable debate about the wisdom of taking financial risks of this kind at a time of economic recession. U U 4 /U /UUOthers argued that 70% of the facilities were already in place, and all were on government-owned land, removing some potential areas of conflict which troubled previous Olympic bidd
44、ers./U The former NSW Premier, Mr. Nick Greiner, went on record as saying that the advantage of having the Games is not that you are going to have $7.4 billion in extra gross domestic product over the next 14 years, U U 5 /U /UUI think the real point is the psychological change, the gaining of confidence, apart from the other more obvious reasons, such as the building of sporting facilities, tourism, and things of that nature./U（分数：15.00）_九、BSection Writi
