问题     Almost 40 years ago, when Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty, a family with a car and a Dutch Colonial in the suburbs felt prosperous and, in the face of the president’s call to action, magnanimous. Poverty seemed far away, in the shanties of the South or the worst pockets of urban blight. Today that same family may well feel impoverished, overwhelmed by credit-card debt, a second mortgage and the cost of the stuff that has become the backbone of American life. When the middle class feels poor, the poor have little chance for change, or even recognition. Does anyone think twice about the woman who turns down the spread on the hotel bed?
选项
答案 大约四十年前，当林登·约翰逊向贫穷宣战时，那些在郊区有车有房的富裕家庭，多响应总统的呼吁，慷慨解囊。那时，贫穷似乎只存在于遥远的南部下等的小酒馆和城区大多不景气的场所。如今，即使那些有车有房的人也会感到自己很穷，因为他们饱受信贷、次贷和物价的困扰，而这些恰是美国社会经济的命脉。如果连中产阶级都感到贫穷的话，那些穷人改变现状的机会就微乎其微，甚至压根就得不到注意。试想，有谁会去注意那个在酒店里铺床的女服务员呢?
