A characteristic of American culture that has become almost
a tradition is to respect the self-made man-the man who has risen to the top
through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the
leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social
position and commands greater respect in the community than the common 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 sort.
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
comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地)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 merely of something
quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie
bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, 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 construction gang on a highway in order to pay for
his education.Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage
- A、A Respectable Self-made Family
- B、American Attitude toward Manual Labor
- C、Characteristics of American Culture
- D、The Development of Manual Labor
