You can' t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you're likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.
It' s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man' s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.

艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鲸鱼). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking.

Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their ownlanguage.Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a systemof writing.So, in 1809, he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokeecould use to do just that.
Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing adifferent word or idea.He soon realized that writing sentences using pictureswould be much too difficult.There were too many words.No one would ever beable to remember that many pictures.
Sequoyah decided to try a different approach.He began to developsymbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made upwords.Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 differentsymbols.Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language.Thesymbols could easily be put together to form. words.Soon thousands of Cherokeewere able to read and write in their own language.
Sequoyah's work did not end there, however.He helped to establish aprint shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee andEnglish.The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee.Inlater years, Sequoyah also became a political leader among the Cherokee.

They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it.

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！
Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. We all under stand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians—frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient—too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.
In 1950, the U.S. spent $12.7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be $1540 billion. Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude that a government with finite re sources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age—say 83 or so. Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm "have a duty to die and get out of the way", so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential.
I would not go that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78, Viacom chairman Stunner Redstone jokingly claims to be 53. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is in her 70s, and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s. These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age. As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have.
Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people's lives.
What is implied in the first sentence？
A．Americans are better prepared for death than other people.
B．Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.
C．Americans are over-confident of their medical technology.
D．Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.
A. stand up
B. stand to
C. suffer from
D. stand
