The Changing Middle Class
The United States perceives itself to be a middle一class nation.However,middle class is not a real desig-
nation,nor does it carry privileges(特权).It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it ever
could be right after World War II.The economy was growing;more and more people owned their own homes;
workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them;and nearly everyone who wanted a higher
education could have one.Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They might have started out
poor,but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In
other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.
The middle class
colleetively
holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn
enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate.In addition,middle-class morality(道
德观)embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family,obligations to others,and
believing in something outside oneself.
But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U.S.News&
World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could
no longer make ends meet. Both spouses now worked,as did some of the children;long commutes became
routine;the need for child care put strains on the family;and public schools were not as good as they once
were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using
credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.

A:people should always have fun
B:children should believe in themselves
C:debt is nothing to worry about

collectively的意思是“共同的”,与commonly意思相近。因此答案为D。
从文章最后一段第二句“A U.S.News&World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet.”可知答 案为C。 make ends meet的意思是“使收支相抵”。
