Pre—reading questions
1. Americans are said to be open, free， and frank。 What is your opinion？
2. How would you compare Americans with Chinese?
1 Americans still follow many of the old ways。 In a time of rapid change it is essential that we
remember how much of the old we cling to。 Young people still get married (2。41 million couples
last year as opposed to only 1.52 million in 1960）。Of course， many do get divorced， but they
remarry at astonishing rates. They have children， but fewer than before。 They belong to
churches， even though they attend somewhat less frequently， and they want their children to
have religious instruction. They are willing to pay taxes for education， and they generously
support institutions like hospitals， museums and libraries. In fact, when you compare the
America of today with that of 1950, the similarities are far greater than the differences.
