For most Americans, the word "poverty" suggests destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter. But only a small number of the 35 million persons classified as "poor" by the Census Bureau fit that description.
While the poor are generally well-nourished, some poor families do experience hunger, meaning a temporary discomfort due to food shortages. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA), 13 percent of poor families and 2.6 percent of poor children experience hunger at some point during the year. In most cases, their hunger is short-term. Eighty-nine percent of the poor report their families have "enough" food to eat, while only 2 percent say they "often" do not have enough to eat.
The typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By his own report, his family is not hungry and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his family’s essential needs. While this individual’s life is not well-off, it is equally far from the popular images of frightening poverty conveyed by the press. [br] In the second paragraph the writer tries to tell us that ______.
选项
A、the poor families often do not have enough food to eat
B、the hunger for the poor family is just short-term
C、not all the poor families encounter food-shortage
D、all the poor families do not have food to eat
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。本题询问作者在第二段想要告诉我们什么。根据第二段第一句话可知,穷人在一般情况下营养充足,而有些穷的家庭也的确遭受饥饿,因此可推理得出并不是所有的贫穷家庭都经受食物短缺这一境况,即选项C为正确答案。
