"How was your weekend？"
This question comes up at workplaces all over the United States every Monday morning as people greet each other. It is another way of saying, "How did you spend your leisure time？"
In the Unites States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity. Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory, but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are.
For many people, leisure time means going somewhere -- to a museum, a concert, a restaurant, or a baseball game. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball, backpacking, swimming, singing in a chorus (合唱), or playing in a park with their children. For other people, free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment, such as VCR, stereo or cable TV with dozens of channels. Others pursue creative activities such as cooking, gardening, and home improvement. The latest stay-at, home activity is "surfing (冲浪) the net" -- that is, looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.
In the United States, leisure time is big business. Enormous amounts of money are spent by competing enterprises that make and sell the goods and services that people use in their free time. In fact, shopping itself is an important leisure time activity. Spending a day at a giant mall has become, for some people, as interesting as spending the day at museum or amusement park.
People in the United States are ultimately not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time. The real difference may lie in the energy, time, money, and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.
Why do Americans often greet each other by asking "How did you spend your leisure time？"
A．Because they are interested in the different pastime activities.
B．Because leisure time is what makes people different from each other.
C．Because they are bored with the job they have done for the whole week.
D．Because everybody does the same thing all day long.

Instead，they receive their elementary and high school education by working at home on computers.The Center for Education Reform. says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools.” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live.Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools.They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form. of education for letting students work at their own speed.These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools.They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgement of cyberschools，they are getting more and more popular.For example，a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall.It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.

第7题
被比尔·克林顿任命为联邦储备副主席的经济学家艾伦·布林德(Alan Blinder)曾经写过下面一段话：“达到美国和其他工业国家所经历的低而温和的通货膨胀率的成本看来应该是非常适度的——更像重感冒而不是社会的癌症……作为理性的个人，我们不愿意为了治疗头痛而作开颅手术。但是，作为一个集体，我们通常是用经济上等同的开颅手术(高失业)来治疗通货膨胀这种感冒。”你认为布林德这段话的意思是什么？布林德所提出的观点的政策含义是什么？你同意吗？为什么同意或不同意？
Economist Alan Blinder, whom Bill Clinton appointed to be Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve, once wrote the following:“The costs that attend the low and moderate inflation rates experienced in the United States and in other industrial countries appear to be quite modest-more like a bad cold than a cancer on society……As rational individuals, we do not volunteer for a lobotomy to cure a head cold. Yet, as a collectivity, we routinely prescribe the economic equivalent of lobotomy (high unemployment) as a cure for the inflationary cold.” What do you think Blinder meant by this？ What are the policy implications of the viewpoint Blinder is advocating？ Do you agree？ Why or why not？
