There is a phenomenon that sociologists call reference anxiety—or, more popularly, keeping up with the【C1】Jo______. According to that thinking, most people judge their possessions in comparison with others’. People tend not to ask themselves, "Does my house meet my needs?" 【C2】Ins______they ask, "Is my house nicer than my neighbor’s?" If your two-bedroom house is surrounded by three-and four-bedroom houses, with some【C3】ar______the corner doing a tear-down to build a McMansion, your reference anxiety may rise. Suddenly that two-bedroom house—one that your grandparents might have considered quite nice, even luxurious—doesn’t seem enough. And so the money you spent on it stops【C4】______(provide)you with a sense of well-being.
Americans’ soaring reference anxiety is a product of the widening gap in income【C5】______(distribute). In other words, the rich are getting richer faster, and the rest of the population are none too happy about it. During much of the U. S. history, the【C6】______(major) lived in small towns or urban areas where conditions for most people were approximately the same-hence, low【C7】______anxiety. Also, most people knew relatively little about those who were living higher on the hog.
But in the past few【C8】de______, new economic forces have changed all that. Rapid growth in income for the top 5 percent of households has brought【C9】ab______a substantial cohort of people who live notably better than the middle class does, amplifying our reference anxiety. That wealthier minority is occupying ever-larger homes and spending more on each change of clothes when the middle is doing O. K. In nations with【C10】h______levels of income equality like the Scandinavian countries, well-being tends to be higher than in nations with unequal wealth distribution such as the United States.
