In a society where Qataris are outnumbered roughly seven-to-one by foreigners,long-term residents(居民) speak of a growing frustration among graduates that the most satisfying jobs go to foreigners.

　　The sense is deepening that,in the rush for development,something important has been lost.Qatari family life is atomising.With children almost universally being raised by nannies(保姆) from the Philippines,Nepal or Indonesia,differences in culture and opinions are widening between the generations.

　　The 2022 football World Cup will be held in Qatar.Mariam Dahrouj,a journalism graduate,speaks of a sense of threat.“People in Qatar are afraid,”she says.“Suddenly all the world wants to see us.We are a closed community,and they want to come and bring their differences.How can we express our values?”

　　【语篇导读】本文是议论文。卡塔尔是世界上最富有的国家,然而巨大的财富并未带给卡塔尔人民无比的幸福。

　　4.What can we learn about Qatar?

　　A.Its capital is neat and modern.

　　B.It’s experiencing great changes.
