听力原文: (21[D])The House passed a $2.4 trillion Republican budget plan last week that appears to back up increased education funding, though only in general terms, while excluding a Senate-passed measure to support a nearly $4 billion shortfall in the Pell Grant program through one-time mandatory spending.
The fiscal 2005 budget resolution passed 215-212 on March 25, largely along party lines.
A report accompanying the resolution promises $2.8 billion above fiscal 2004 levels (22[A])for the discretionary budget category that covers the departments of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services.
How much is the budget plan for 2005?
A.$2.8 billion.
B.$215-212 billion.
C.$4 billion.
D.$2.4 trillion.
听力原文: A person's social prestige seems to be determined mainly by his or her job. Occupations are valued in terms of the incomes associated with them, although other factors can also be relevant—particular the amount of education a given occupation requires and the degree of control over others it pro vides. The holders of political power also tend to have high prestige.
Unlike power and wealth, which do not seem to be becoming more equally shared, the symbols of prestige have become available to an increasing number of Americans. The main reason is the radical change in the nature of jobs over the course of this century. In 1900 nearly 40 percent of the labor force were farm workers and less than 20 percent held white-collar jobs. At the beginning of the 1980s, however, less than 5 percent of the labor force worked on farms and white-collar workers were the largest single occupation al category. Blue-collar workers, the largest category in the mid-fifties, now constitute less than a third of all workers. The increase in the proportion of high-prestige jobs has allowed a much greater number of Americans to enjoy these statuses and the life-styles that go with them.
