It used to be said that English people
take their pleasure sadly. No doubt this would still be true if they had any
pleasure to take, but the price of alcohol and tobacco in my country has
provided sufficient external causes for melancholy. I have sometimes thought
that the habit of taking pleasure sadly has crossed the Atlantic, and I have
wondered what it is that makes so many English-speaking people somber in their
outlook in spite of good health and a good income.
In the course
of my travels in the American I have been impressed by a kind of fundamental
malaise which seems to me extremely common and which poses difficult problems
for the social reformer. Most social reformers have held the opinion that, if
poverty were abolished and there were no more economic insecurity, the
millennium would
A. make people indulge in pleasures
B. lead to despondency
C. pose touchy problems for social reformers
D. throw a heavy burden on the country’s welfare program

Having said all of this, I should,
perhaps, locate myself. I teach and write about a loose and baggy territory
called Las Americas, the Americas, and most often about the part of that
category referred to as Latin America. This latter space includes nations, of
course, but the demarcation is far more flexible because of its plural referent.
The writers who inhabit this territory possess dual citizenship, for they are
self-avowed "Latin American" writers at the same time that they are also
Mexican, Argentine, Peruvian, or Cuban. In fact, they are often engaged deeply
in describing their own national cultures and are far from ready to throw out
the baby with the globalizing bathwater.
Mexico is a

A. the cultures
B. the Latin Americas

that "England and America are two countries separated by the same language." My
first personal experience of this was when I worked as a camp counselor for two
months in 2000 in Summer Camp run by the Boy Scouts of America, as part of an
international leader exchange scheme. Before I went, all the participants in the
scheme were given a short list of words that are in common use in the UK which
Americans would either be confused by or would even offend them. I memorized the
words and thought "I’ll cope".
When I finally arrived in the
States three months later, I realized that perhaps a lifetime of watching
American television was not adequate preparation for appreciating and coping
with the differences between American and British speech. In the first hour of

A. are now living in a "classless society".

C. think much about their social status.
