The Obamas did not pay off their student loans until Obama“s best-selling books earned them millions of doll

18、ars. With the cost of a college education 1 , more than 60% of students take out loans to fund their undergraduate education. On average, students who borrow graduate with debts of $22,700a 2 of more than 18% from 2000. But some of those with a newly acquired bachelor“s degree are restrained with de

19、bts of $40,000 or more. You think this economy“s tough? Try finding a job with the 3 of repaying tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Now, a new federal programIncome-Based Repaymentis making it 4 to pay back these loans. If a student chooses to repay her or his loan with this plan, payments are th

23、数：35.00）十三、Section B(总题数：1，分数：70.00)There“s No Place Like HomeA. On almost any night of the week, Churchill“s Restaurant is hopping. The 10-year-old hot spot in Rockville Centre, Long Island, is packed with locals drinking beer and eating burgers, with some customers spilling over onto the street. “

24、We have lots of regularspeople who are recognized when they come in,“ says co-owner Kevin Culhane. In fact, regulars make up more than 80 percent of the restaurant“s customers. “People feel comfortable and safe here,“ Culhane says, “This is their place.“ B. Thriving neighborhood restaurants are one

25、small data point in a larger trend I call the new localism. The basic idea: the longer people stay in their homes and communities, the more they identify with those places, and the greater their commitment to helping local businesses and institutions thrive, even in a downturn. Several factors are d

26、riving this process, including an aging population, suburbanization, the Internet, and an increased focus on family life. And even as the recession has begun to yield to recovery, our commitment to our local roots is only going to grow deeper. Evident before the recession, the new localism will shap

27、e how we live and work in the coming decades, and may even influence the course of our future politics. C. Perhaps nothing will be as surprising about 21st-century America as its settledness. For more than a generation Americans have believed that “spatial mobility“ would increase, and, as it did, f

28、eed a trend toward rootlessness and anomie (社会道德沦丧). In 2000, Harvard“s Robert Putnam made a point in Bowling Alone , in which he wrote about the “civic malaise“ he saw gripping the country. In Putnam“s view, society was being undermined, largely due to suburbanization and what he called “the growth

29、 of mobility.“ D. Yet in reality Americans actually are becoming less nomadic (游牧的). As recently as the 1970s as many as one in five people moved annually; by 2006, long before the current recession took hold, that number was 14 percent, the lowest rate since the census (人口普查) starting following mov

30、ement in 1940. Since then tougher times have accelerated these trends, in large part because opportunities to sell houses and find new employment have dried up. In 2008, the total number of people changing residences was less than those who did so in 1962, when the country had 120 million fewer peop

31、le. The stay-at-home trend appears particularly strong among aging boomers, who stay tied to their suburban homesclose to family, friends, clubs, churches, and familiar surroundings. E. The trend will not bring back the corner grocery stores and the declining organizationsbowling leagues, Boy Scouts

32、, and suchcited by Putnam and others as the traditional glue of American communities. Nor will our car-oriented suburbs copy the close neighborhood feel so celebrated by romantic urbanism. Instead, we“re evolving in ways fit for a postindustrial society. It will not spell the decline of Wal-Mart or

33、Costco, but will express itself in scores of alternative institutions, such as thriving local weekly newspapers that have withstood the shift to the Internet far better than big-city dailies. F. Our less mobile nature is already reshaping the corporate world. The kind of corporate mobility described

34、 in Peter Kilborn“s recent book, Next Stop , Reloville: Life Inside America“s Rootless Professional Class , in which families relocate every couple of years so the breadwinner can reach a higher step on the managerial ladder, will become less common in years ahead. A smaller group of corporate execu

35、tives may still move from place to place, but surveys reveal many executives are now unwilling to move even for a good promotion. Why? Family and technology are two key factors working against mobility, in the workplace and elsewhere. G. Family, as one Pew researcher notes, “matters more than money

36、when people make decisions about where to live.“ Interdependence is replacing independence. More parents are helping their children financially well into their 30s and 40s; the numbers of “boomerang kids“ moving back home with their parents, has also been growing as job options and the ability to bu

37、y houses has decreased for the young. Recent surveys of the emerging generation suggest this family-centric focus will last well into the coming decades. H. Nothing allows for geographic choice more than the ability to work at home. Demographer (人口学家) Wendell Cox suggests there will be more people w

38、orking electronically at home full time than taking mass transportation, making it the largest potential source of energy savings on transportation. In the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, almost one in 10 workers is a part-time telecommuter. Some studies indicate that more than one quarter o

39、f the U.S. workforce could eventually participate in this new work pattern. Even IBM, whose initials were once jokingly said to stand for “I“ve Been Moved,“ has changed its approach. About 40 percent of the company“s workers now labor at home or remotely from a client“s location. I. These home-based

40、 workers become critical to the local economy. They will eat in local restaurants, attend fairs and festivals, take their kids to soccer practices, ballet lessons, or religious youth-group meetings. This is not merely a suburban phenomenon; localism also means a stronger sense of identity for urban

41、neighborhoods as well as smaller towns. J. Could the new localism also affect our future politics? Throughout our history, we have always preferred our politics more on the home-cooked side. On his visit to America in the early 1830s, Alexis de Tocqueville was struck by the decentralized nature of t

42、he country. “The intelligence and the power are spread abroad,“ he wrote, “and instead of radiating from a point, they cross each other in every direction.“ K. This is much the same today. The majority of Americans still live in a combination of smaller towns and cities, including many suburban town

43、s within large metropolitan regions. After decades of hurried mobility, we are seeing a return to placeness, along with more choices for individuals, families, and communities. For entrepreneurs like Kevin Culhane and his workers at Churchill“s, it“s a phenomenon that may also offer a lease on years

44、 of new profits. “We“re holding our own in these times because we appeal to the people around here,“ Culhane says. And as places like Long Island become less bedroom community and more round-the-clock location for work and play, he“s likely to have plenty of hungry customers.（分数：70.00）(1).When visit

45、ing the US in the early 1830s, Alexis de Tocqueville found that the country had the nature of decentralization.（分数：7.00）(2).The stay-at-home trends have accelerated since 2006 mainly because it was harder to sell houses and find jobs.（分数：7.00）(3).Putnam believed that suburbanization and growing mobi

46、lity were undermining the society.（分数：7.00）(4).Most customers of Churchill“s Restaurant are old customers.（分数：7.00）(5).The tendency of settledness will result in prosperity of local newspapers.（分数：7.00）(6).A demographer predicates that more people will take full-time jobs at home.（分数：7.00）(7).With t

47、he economic recovery, new localism tends to become stronger.（分数：7.00）(8).The changes from bedroom community to round-the-clock location in some places make profits for local economy.（分数：7.00）(9).With the fading of hurried mobility, placeness is returning, providing more choices for individuals, fami

48、lies and communities.（分数：7.00）(10).As is described in a recent book, people relocate constantly to get a promotion.（分数：7.00）十四、Section C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十五、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：71.50)If you“re like most people, you“re way too smart for advertising. You skip right past newspaper ads, never click on ads

49、 online and leave the room during TV commercials. That, at least, is what we tell ourselves. But what we tell ourselves is wrong. Advertising works, which is why, even in hard economic times, Madison Avenue is a $34 billion-a-year business. And if Martin Lindstromauthor of the best seller Buyology and a marketing consultant for Fortune 500 companies, including PepsiCo and Disneyis correct, trying to tune this stuff out is about to get a whole lot harder. Lindstrom is a practitioner of neuro
