You are going to read a list of headings and a text about plagiarism in the academic community. Choose the most suitable heading from the list for each numbered paragraph. The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use.
America’s liberal and conservative elites disagree about everything under the sun. from the role of God in the constitution to John Bolton’s table manners. Yet on one issue they are as one: the country is going to hell in a hand-basket.
(41)______.
For liberals, Americans are suffering from epidemics of "traumas" and "syndromes". The left has always worried about the effects of rapacious capitalism on the American psyche. Listen to Mary Pipher, a bestselling clinical psychologist, on girls: "Just as planes and ships disappear mysteriously into the Bermuda Triangle, so do the selves of girls go down in droves. They crash and burn" Or compare William Pollak, a Harvard psychologist, on boys: "Our nation is home to millions of boys who are cast out to sea in separate lifeboats, and feel that they are drowning in isolation, depression, loneliness and despair". Half an hour listening to "Oprah" or browsing in a bookshop could produce a dozen equally depressing theses, expressed in equally dismal metaphors, about every, sort of American.
(42)______.
This literature is built on one huge assumption: that Americans are a fragile bunch. Forget about the flinty Pilgrims who built a hyperpower out of a wilderness. Today’s Americans are so vulnerable they need to be shielded from competition. In their excellent new book, "One Nation Under Therapy: How the Helping Culture is Eroding Self-Reliance" (St. Martin’s Press). Christina Hoff Sommers and Sally Satel of the American Enterprise Institute, detail the rise of an ever-proliferating profession of grief counselors, trauma therapists, syndrome specialists, stress-reducers and assorted degree-bearing charlatans.
(43)______.
This book has naturally garnered favourable reviews from fellow conservatives. Yet the right is equally prey to its own variety of crisis-mongering. Conservatives blame sin, rather than syndromes, and cultural decline, rather than economic dislocation. But many share the left’s sense of human vulnerability, and a surprising number have a weakness for psychobabble. It is no accident that the most powerful man in the Christian right. James Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family, is both a child psychologist and a veritable fountain of social’ science statistics.
(44)______.
For conservatives, the family is being battered by pop culture, gay rights and feminism. Rebecca Hagelin of the Heritage Foundation argues that, thanks in pan to the ubiquity of the porn culture, America has gone "stark raving mad" (to use the subtitle of her new book). Gloomy conservative groups issue toe-curling warnings about the "inexorable grip of homosexual lust" and "feminism’s love affair with abortion, and lesbianism".
(45)______.
Is this really true? Take a look at most of the recent cultural indicators, and it is hard to know where to start with the good news. The proportion of black children living with married parents is increasing. The proportion of women with infants in the. workforce (the women that is, not the infants) is declining, meaning that more mothers are staying at home. Both teenage pregnancy rates and teenage abortion rates have declined by about a third over the past 15 years. For all the talk of "hooking up", a growing proportion of schoolchildren are waiting to have sex until they are older.
The good news is not confined to sex. Child poverty is down substantially from its high in 1993(whatever happened to the "disastrous consequences" of welfare reform?) So is juvenile crime. Alcohol and drug use are lower. The idea that young America is tossing about on a sea of misery hardly tallies with academic evidence, which shows 73% of teenagers to be "hopeful and optimistic, in thinking about the future" (a Horatio Alger study in 2002-03), a mere 7.5% of college students feeling frequently depressed (UCLA 2003) and the teen-suicide rate down by a quarter (the Centres for Disease Control. 2004).
A. The literature assumes that Americans are vulnerable.
B. The conservatives’ opinions of Americans’ psychological problems
C. The conservatives think that Americans are fragile.
D. The liberals’ opinions about the American psyche
E. The conservatives regard the social problems as the cause of the American’s psychological problems.
F. The recent data indicates that Americans have an improvement in many social problems.
