2017年6月英语四级阅读理解100篇精析汇总
Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The
business of America is business.” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is
based on the values of the business world.
Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper
vividly shows how much peoplein the United States think about business. For
example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and
projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of
corporations arereported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every
other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it.
Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal
Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news
appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment
is often referred to as “the entertainment industry” or “show business.”
The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity
that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so
many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the
dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S.
economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates
more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.
The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the
word business is taken to meanbig business. And the term big business—referring
to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S.
history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working
conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes
are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing—the laying off of
thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high—creates feelings of
insecurity for many.
