根据以下资料，回答下列各题： A curious phenomenon occurs during every economic crisis--the rich whine that they are the ones who are suffering most．In current context，the wealthy even demands more tax cuts and more cuts in spending for programs aiding the poor，as every Republican presidential candidate promises． I first noticed this woe-is-me attitude among the rich in l974 when Alan Greenspan had just been named chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers．One of his first tasks was to address a conference with emphasis on cutting programs to aid the poor，which broughtdemonstrators to the event．In an effort to show that everyone was suffering from inflation，Mr．Greenspan said，“If you really wanted to examine percentage．wise who was hurt the most on their income，it was Wall Street brokers．” The urge to find ways to pity the well—off is still alive and well．Last week，BloombergNews reported that declining bonuses are creating severe hardship for many in the top 1percent of income distribution．One of them，Andrew Schiff，complained that his$350，000salary barely covers his expenses．Others lamented that they could no longer go to Aspen toski and must buy discount salmon． I have to admit that everyone’s suffering is sunective．But there does seem to be awidespread view that the poor don’t suffer as much from economic downturns because theyare used to being at the bottom．As Bob Dylan put it，“When you got nothing，you gotnothing to lose．”Those with expectations of staying on top，who have grown used to living the good life，no doubt do suffer meaningfully when those expectations are shattered and theymust learl)to get by on incomes only five or l o times the poverty—level income rather than 20 or 30 times． Admittedly，there doesn’t yet seem to be much downside for Republican candidates pandering to the rich．For one thing，they all have billionaires and other ultrarich people funding super political action committees for them．But one of these days，the Republicannominee will be chosen and will have to compete in the general election against PresidentObama．And it is unlikely that the Republican nominee can win with only conservative Republican votes；he will have to reach out to those who don’t necessarily believe that cutting taxes for the rich is the one and only policy that will stimulate growth． As a January poll from the Pew Research Center shows，tw0—thirds of Americans see strong conflict between the rich and the poor，up from 47 percent in 2009．And a number of polls show that Americans support higher tax rates on millionaires by a ratio of 2-to-1 0r more．I think the Republican nominee is going to have a hard time responding if all he has to say is the rich need more tax cuts to compensate them for all their suffering during the economic crisis． From the passage，we know that Allan Greenspan______．
A.is a successful economic advisor that wins unparaUel popularity
B.identifies with the Republicans in tax cut for the rich and aid cut for the poor
C.backs up the rich’s claim that they are hardest hit in economic crisis
D.sympathizes more with the have-nots than with the haves

根据以下资料，回答下列各题： In 1910．Henry Van Dyke wrote a book called The Spimt of America，which opened with this sentenee：“The Spirit of America is best known in Europe by one of its qualities—energy．”This has always been true．Americans have always been known for thelr mamc dvnamism．Some condemned this ambition as a scrambling after money.Others saw it in loftier terms．But energy has always been the country’s saving feature. So Americans should be especially alert to signs that the country is becoming less vital and assiduous．One of those signs comes to us from the labor market. According to figures from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development，the United States has a smailer share of prime age men in the work force than any other G-7 nation. Part of the problem has to do with human capital．More American men lack the emotional and professional skills they would need to contribute．According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics，35 percent of those without a high school diploma are out of the labor force．compared with less than lo percent of those with a college degree．Part of the Droblem has to do with structural changes in the economy．Sectors like government，health care and high．tech have been growing，generating jobs for collegegrads. Sectors like manufacturing，agriculture and energy have been getting more productive，but they have not been generating more jobs．Instead，companies are using machines or foreign workers. The resuIt is this：There are probably more idle men now than at any time slnce the Great Depression. and this time the problem is mostly structural，not cyclical．This is a big Droblem．It can’t be addressed through the sort of short—term Keynesian stimulus some on the left are still fantasizing about．It can’t be solved by simply reducing the size of government，as some on the right imagine． It will．probably require a broad menu of policies attacking the problem all at once： expanding community colleges and online learning；changing the corporate tax code and labor market rules to stimulate investment；adopting German-style. labor market practices like apprenticeship programs，wage subsidies and programs that extend benefits to the unemployed for six months as they start small businesses． Reinvigorating the missing fifth--bringing them back into the labor market and using their capabilities-will certainly require money．If this were a smart country．we’d be having a debate about how to shift money from programs that provide comfort and toward programs that spark reinvigoration． But，of course，that’S not what is happening．Discretionary spending，which might be used to instigate dynamism，is declining．Health care spending，which mostly provides comfort to those beyond working years，is expanding．Attempts to take money from health care to open it up for other uses are being crushed．We’re locking in the nation’S wealth into the Medicare program and closing off any possibility that we might do something significant to reinvigorate the missing fifth．Next time you see a politician demagoguing Medicare，ask this：Should we be using our resources in the manner of a nation in decline or one still committed to stoking the energy of its people and continuing its rise？ The loss of American dynamism concerned by the author is mainly manifested in the fact that_______．
A.American young are more indolent than their counterparts in other countries
B.America suffered from a higher rate of unemployment than other countries
C.More American young are out of work than their counterparts in other countries
D.American young are obssessed with the incessant quest for material comforts

A.staffed
B.occupied
C.populated
