While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and wins greater respect in the munity than the mon laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some kind. This attitude toward manual (体力的 ) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only fortably but even expensively furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children。 yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward。 furthermore, the dinner will not consist just of something quickly and easily mixed from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. Instead, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a group of workers on the highway in order to pay for his education.

A. people feel painful to mention their fathers as laborers B. people tend to have a high opinion of the selfmade man C. people can always rise to the top through their own efforts D. college professors win great respect from mon workers to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because ________. A. she can hardly afford servants B. servants in America are hard to get C. she takes pride in what she can do herself D. it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food 34.
