In “Relax, We’ll Be Fine”, columnist David Brooks writes, “the fact is, despite all the problems, America’s future is extremly bright.”
Mr. Brooks acknowledges that “According to recent survey, 60 percent of Americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction. The same percentage believe that the U.S. is in long-term decline. The political system is not functional. A financial crisis looks unavoidable. There are plenty of reasons to be sad.”
But, he writes:
“Demographers(人口学家) predict that over the next 40 years, the U.S. population will increase by an additional 100 million people, to 400 million over all. The population will be determined, hardworking and relatively young. In 2050, only a quarter will be over 60, compared with 31 percent in China and 41 percent in Japan.”
As the rising generation leads an economic recovery, it will also participate in a communal
(of community) one. We are living in a global age of social entrepreneurship(创业精神).
In sum, the U.S. is on the edge of a demographic, economic and social recovery, built on its historic strengths. The U.S. has always been good at destructive change. And it’s always been good at decentralized community-building, too. Surely a country with this much going for it is not going to wait around passively and let a rotten political culture drag it down.
51.In his article Relax, We’ll Be Fine, David Brooks intends to____________.
A.encourage Americans to be optimistic about their future
B.give Americans courage to face their financial crisis
C.persuade Americans to live happily and generously
D.inspire Americans to lead an economic recovery
52.There are all the reasons for Americans to be unhappy except____________
A.the function-failed political system         B.the increasing population

A.more optimistic and humorous            B.more pessimistic and stronger
C.more energetic and promising             D.more considerate and aggressive
54.In the author’s opinion, America____________.
