D.Manners in British Local Pubs
(2011·皖南八校第二次联考)
Who says Americans worship the almighty (全能的) dollar?It’s not true.Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich,according to a new survey.
Only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone survey ranked being wealthy as the most important to them,while 67 percent ranked free time as their top priority (优先考虑的事),higher than having a successful career,getting married,and having children.“Everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do,young,middleaged or old,” said Richard Morin,of the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project,which conducted the survey.“So our desire to play unites us.”
The survey also showed that people who were educated in university valued career success over wealth,so did middleaged people.Not surprisingly,those who didn’t have money,ranked wealth very highly.This included minorities,first generation Americans and lesseducated people.The survey also revealed that a disproportionate (不成比例的) number of people under the age of 30 and retired people in the group made $20,000 or less a year.But the emphasis on wealth lessens with age,with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors.“It just diminishes (减弱) with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich,” Morin said.“But also,as for old people the reality sets in that you don’t have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life.”
