【题目】We are not who we think we are.

The American self-image is spread with the golden glow of opportunityWe think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibilitynot so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable—a place where brainsenergy and ambition are what countsnot the circumstances of one's birth.

The Economic Mobility Projectan ambitious research led by Pew Charitable Trustslooked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over timecomparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000sHere is the finding: "The 'rags to riches' story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main StreetOnly 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top.

That is rightjust 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom of the study samplein terms of incomewere able to bootstrap their way into the topMeanwhilean incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest are still stuck at the bottomhaving been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder.

It is noted that even in Britain---a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound class system-children who are born poor have a better chance of moving upWhen the studies were releasedmost reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly lessin inflation-adjusted dollarsthan did their parents.

One of the studies indicatesin factthat most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor forceThis is much less true for African-Americans.

The picture that emerges from all the quintilescorrelations and percentages is of a nation in whichoverall"the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one"as one of the studies notes.

The median income of the families in the sample group was $55600 in the late 1960s; their children's median family income was measured at $71900Howeverthis rising tide has not lifted all boats equallyThe rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor.

Even more troubling is that our nation of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the dataAmericans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs of the ladderbut there is "stickiness at the ends" —four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poorand four out of ten who are born rich will stay rich.

【题目】The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone (有…倾向的) countries could become part of its long-term energy solution.

Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.

Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal (地热的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.

"Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy," said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production.

The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent.

Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.

For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.

The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories. Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.

"We can't even dig 10 cm inside national parks.” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow. Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, “Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project. We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decrease in the short term.”

The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, US, believed Japan could produce 80,000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.

Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share. In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.
