Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at least 25

percent of the nation's wealth. This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the "old rich"—families that have been wealthy for several generations—an aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockefellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion, drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower-upper class is the "new rich". Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich; the new rich have hustled to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.

However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind—all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and a broad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreigh Relations, and control multinational corporations. The actions affect the lives of millions.

The Now Rich and the Old Rich

Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at least 25 percent of the nation’s wealth. This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich”—families that have been wealthy for several generations and aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockfellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion (深居简出), drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower upper class is the “new rich”. Although they may he wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled(急于做)to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.

However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind — all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on foreign relations, and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions.

Who will stage the games？

Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking.Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event.Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC)has to examine bids from all over the world.Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance.Without preparing a very strong bid1, a city will not win the competition to host the games.Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders — Osaka, Paris,Toronto and Istanbul.2

Why does it take so long to prepare？

Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money.Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as well as many hotels and an improved transport system.In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects — the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways3.Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes.By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists.

Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games？

Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country.Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved.

1.Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts before the games are really held.

Transport can be a major expense for many companies,especially when cars have to be provided for both managerial and sale staff. __1__As a result, it's important to keep a close eye at the many costs

The moment a new car is driven away from the showroom,its value will drop as much as 12 percent. This is what is __3__known as depreciation and is the largest single cost to the buyer of a new vehicle. Depreciation is the highest in the __4__first two years of a vehicle's life: at the end of that period a car could be worth just the third of its brand new price. __5__Although the rate of depreciation decreases as time goes by, it remains a major cost factor, as around 85 percent

of company vehicles are brought brandly new. __6__However, it is important to know that some cars depreciate much more than others——regardless of price. This is often __7__to do with rarity and prestige value. The more common the car, the more quickly, in general, it loses vaule. Exported __8__models, which are restricted in number, can hold their value better than those are produced domestically and widely available. __9__In the same way, depreciation on a new model of a particular make may be low for the first few years after their launch. __10__This happened when diesel cars were first introduced. They depreciated more slowly when they were rarely seen; now that they are relatively common, this is no longer true.

In an effort to make up for some of the glaring

limitations of IQ tests, researchers have begun to

develop new ways to measure the kinds of emotional factors

and psychological attitudes that lead to succeed in 【S1】______

everyday life. While IQ tests remain excellent predictors

of how good one will do in school, they have little

or nothing to do with who will earn the money or prestige

or have the most satisfied social life or relationships. 【S2】______

The new tests are intended to assess the less practical 【S3】______

intelligence that underlies these accomplishments. The

new approach goes beyond purely mental skills to

assess emotional factors and psychological attitudes that

can either interfere or facilitate the use of those skills. It 【S4】______

has fostered new theories of what they means to be smart. 【S5】______

The old theories focused in academic skills such as 【S6】______

verbal or mathematical quickness. But the new theories

describe a spectrum of practical talents such as the ability to

pick up the unspoken rules that govern success in a corporate

or professional career or the habits of mind that foster

productivity. "IQ and success in living have much to do 【S7】______

with each other", says Seymour Epstein, a psychologist at

the University of Massachusetts." Being intellectually gifted

does not predict you will earn the most money or achieve

the most recognition, even among college professors."

One factor emerging as crucial for life success is that 【S8】______

might be called emotional intelligence. "How well people

manage their emotions determines how effectively they

can use their intellectual ability," Dr. Epstein says. "For

example, if someone is skilled at solving problems in the

quiet of her office, but fall apart in a group, then she will 【S9】______

be effective in a great many situations." 【S10】______
