C.

When a young black man arrives in a crowded and expensive restaurant, the head waiter makes him sit in the least comfortable place, even though a table has been booked for him and a “Ms Rogers”. When Ms Rogers arrives, the waiter realizes that she is a well-known politician; and Ms Rogers realizes that her friend has been treated badly because of the colour of his skin. The waiter realizes his mistake too, and tries to make up for it, but it is too late.

美國夢是美國民族精神的體現。簡而言之，其觀念就是美國是一個充滿機會的地方；在那里，只要肯努力奮斗，就能獲得富裕、成功。這種對改善社會地位和經濟狀況的信仰，即美國人可以從卑微的窮人變為富人的信仰，一直被稱為“國民宗教”。在經濟狀況和社會地位上獲得巨大提升的著名案例包括本杰明?富蘭克林和亨利?福特。其他從父輩到子輩就實現從美國下層社會躋身上流社會的最為人津津樂道的例子是亞伯拉罕?林肯和比爾?克林頓。他們雖然出身于工人階級家庭，卻在成年之后當上了高官。民意測驗表明，現在美國人的這個信念比以往任何時候都強，比其他任何發達國家的都強。但是，近年來，幾項大型的研究發現，與同類國家相比，美國的垂直代際社會流動性降低。2013年，布魯金斯學會的一項研究發現，收入的不平等正變得更加固定，從而大大降低了社會流動性。2014年發布的一項大型學術研究的結果發現在過去的20年里，收入的流動性沒有發生顯著的變化。

Women are an important part of the labour force. But gender discrimination in the job market still exists, and serves as a counterforce to the building of a harmonious society. As far as employees are concerned, jobs that do not suit their talents will not only give rise to a waste of the investment in human capital, but also cause them to lose faith in social justice. As for employers, gender discrimination will not only disrupt the process of selecting talent,and thus waste talent, but will also harm the perception of a properly functioning market. On the level of society, gender discrimination will set an obstacle to the proper distribution of human resources, and damage a fair environment in the job market.
