A Nation That's Losing Its Toolbox

The scene inside the Home Depot on Weyman Avenue here would giv e the old-timeAmerican craftsman pause.

In Aisle 34 is precut plastic flooring, the glue already in place. In Aisl e 26 areprefabricated windows. Stacked near the checkout counters, and as colorful as aFisher-Price toy, is a not-so-serious-looking power tool: a battery-operatedsaw-and-drill combination. And if you don't want to do it yourself, head to Aisle 23 orAisle 35, where a help desk will arrange for an installer.

It's all very handy stuff, I guess, a convenient way to be a do-it-yours elfer withoutbeing all that good with tools. But at a time when the Am erican factory seems to be ashrinking presence, and when good manu facturing jobs have vanished, perhaps neverto return, there is someth ing deeply troubling about this dilution of Americancraftsmanship.

This isn't a lament (伤感) - or not merely a lament - for bygone times. It's a social andcultural i ssue, as well as an economic one. The Home Depot approach to crafts manship- simplify it, dumb it down, hire a contractor - is one signal th at mastering tools andworking with one's hands is receding in Americ a as a hobby, as a valued skill, as acultural influence that shaped thin king and behavior in vast sections of the country.

That should be a matter of concern in a presidential election year. Yet neither BarackObama nor Mitt Romney promotes himself as tool-savv y (使用工具很在行的) presidential timber, in the mold of a Jimmy Carter, a skilled carpen ter and cabinet maker.

The Obama administration does worry publicly about manufacturing, a first cousin ofcraftsmanship. When the Ford Motor Company, for exa mple, recently announced that itwas bringing some production home, the White House cheered.

"When you see thingslike Ford moving new production from Mexico to Detroit, instead of the other wayaround, you know things are changi ng," says Gene Sperling, director of the NationalEconomic Council. Ask the administration or the Republicans or most academics why Am erica needs moremanufacturing, and they respond that manufacturin g gives birth to innovation, bringsdown the trade deficit, strengthens the dollar, generates jobs, arms the military andbrings about a recove ry from recession. But rarely, if ever, do they publicly take theargume nt a step further, asserting that a growing manufacturing sector enco uragescraftsmanship and that craftsmanship is, if not a birthright, the n a vital ingredient ofthe American self-image as a can-do, inventive, we-can-make-anything people.

Traditional vocational training in public high schools is gradually decli ning, strandingthousands of young people who seek training for a cra ft without going to college.Colleges, for their part, have since 1985 gr aduated fewer chemical, mechanical,industrial and metallurgical (冶金的) engineers, partly in response to the reduced role ofmanufacturing, a big employer of them.

The decline started in the 1950s, when manufacturing generated a st urdy 28% of thenational income, or gross domestic product, and empl oyed one-third of the workforce.Today, factory output generates just 12% of G.D.P. and employs barely 9% of thenation's workers.

Mass layoffs and plant closings have drawn plenty of headlines and p ublic debate overthe years, and they still occasionally do. But the dam age to skill and craftsmanship-that's needed to build a complex airlin er or a tractor, or for a worker to move up fromassembler to machinis t to supervisor - went largely unnoticed.

"In an earlier generation, we lost our connection to the land, and now

we are losingour connection to the machinery we depend on," says M ichael Hout, a sociologist at theUniversity of California, Berkeley. "People who work with their hands," he went on,

"are doing things today that we call service jobs, in restaurants and l aundries, or inmedical technology and the like."

That's one explanation for the decline in traditional craftsmanship. La ck of interest isanother. The big money is in fields like finance. Startin g in the 1980s, skill in financegrew in importance, and, as depicted in the news media and the movies, became amore appealing source of i ncome.

By last year, Wall Street traders, bankers and those who deal in real e state generated21% of the national income, double their share in the 1950s. And Warren Buffett, thegood-natured financier, became a hom espun folk hero, without the tools and overalls(工作服).

"Young people grow up without developing the skills to fix things aro und the house,"says Richard Curtin, director of the Thomson Reuters/ University of Michigan Surveysof Consumers.

"They know about computers, of course, but they don't know how tob uild them."

Manufacturing's shrinking presence undoubtedly helps explain the de cline incraftsmanship, if only because many of the nation's assembly l ine workers were skilledin craft work, if not on the job then in their s pare time. In a late 1990s study ofblue-collar employees at a General Motors plant (now closed) in Linden, N. J., thesociologist Ruth Milkma n of City University of New York found that many line workers,in their off-hours, did home renovation and other skilled work.

"I have often thought," Ms. Milkman says,

"that these extracurricular jobs were aneffort on the part of the work ers to regain their dignity after suffering the degradationof repetitive assembly line work in the factory."

Craft work has higher status in nations like Germany, which invests in apprenticeship(学徒) programs for high school students. "Corporations in Germany realized that therewas an interest to be ser ved economically and patriotically in building up a skilled laborforce a t home; we never had that ethos (风气)," says Richard Sennett, a New YorkUniversity sociologist who has written about the connection of craft and culture.

The damage to American craftsmanship seems to parallel the steep sli de inmanufacturing employment. Though the decline started in the 19 70s, it became muchsteeper beginning in 2000. Since then, some 5.3 million jobs, or one-third of theworkforce in manufacturing, have bee n lost. A stated goal of the Obama administration is to restore a big ch unk of this employment, along with the multitude of skills thatmany o f the jobs required.

As for craftsmanship itself, the issue is how to preserve it as a valued skill in thegeneral population. Ms. Milkman, the sociologist, argues th

at American craftsmanshipisn't disappearing as quickly as some woul

d argu

e - that it has instead shifted toimmigrants.

"Pride in craft, it is alive in the immigrant world," she says.

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading inDepth) (25 minutes) Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or inco mplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete statements inthe fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.

Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.

The central notion of social learning theories is that people learn attitudes, b eliefs, andbehaviors through social interaction. The learning is a result of re inforcement, imitation,and modeling.

Reinforcement occurs when we receive direct or indirect rewards or punishm ents for particular gender role behaviors. For example, a little girl who puts o n her mother's makeup may be toldthat she is cute, but her brother who does the same thing will be scolded. Children also learngender roles through indir ect reinforcement. For example, if a little boy's male friends arepunished fo r crying, he will learn that "boys don't cry."

Children also learn to behave as boys or girls through observation and imita tion. Even whenchildren are not directly rewarded or punished for "behaving l ike boys" or "behaving like girls,"they learn about gender by watching who do es what in their families. A father who is rarely athome because he's always w orking sends the message that men are supposed to earn money.A mother w ho is always complaining about being overweight or old sends the message th atwomen are supposed to be thin and young.

Because parents are emotionally important to their children, they are typically a child's mostpowerful role models. Other role models include caregivers, tea chers, friends, and celebrities.According to a multiethnic study of Los Angeles adolescents, teenagers who said that their rolemodel was someone they knew , e. g. a parent, relative, friend, or doctor outside the family, hadhigher self-e steem, higher grades, and lower substance use than peers whose role mode lswere sports figures, singers, or other media characters. The researchers con cluded that rolemodel selection can have a positive or negative outcome on

a teenager's psychosocialdevelopment.

Social learning theories contribute to our understanding of why we behave a s we do, but muchof the emphasis is on early socialization rather than on wh at occurs throughout life. Thus,these theories don't explain why gender roles can change in adulthood or later life. Sociallearning theories also don't explain why reinforcement and modeling work for some childrenbut not others, esp ecially those in the same family and even identical twins.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questionsor unfinished statements. For each of them there are four c hoices maked A),B),C) and D). Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with asingle line through the cen tre.

Passage One

Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.

The report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics was just as gloomy as anticip ated.Unemployment in January jumped to a 16-year high of 7.6 percent, as 5 98000 jobs wereslashed from US payrolls in the worst single-month decline s ince December,

1974. With 1.8million jobs lost in the last three months, there is urgent desire to boost the economy asquickly as possible. But Washington would do well t o take a deep breath before reacting to thegrim numbers.

Collectively, we rely on the unemployment figures and other statistics to fra me our sense ofreality. They are a vital part of an array of data that we use to assess if we're doing well ordoing badly, and that in turn shapes governme nt policies and corporate budgets and personalspending decisions. The probl

em is that the statistics aren't an objective measure of reality;they are sim ply a best approximation. Directionally, they capture the trends, but the id ea thatwe know precisely how many are unemployed is a myth. That makes f inding a solution all themore difficult.

First, there is the way the data is assembled. The official unemployment rat e is the product ofa telephone survey of about 60000 homes. There is anothe r survey, sometimes referred to asthe "payroll survey," that assesses 40000

0 businesses based on their reported payrolls. Bothsurveys have problems. Th

e payroll survey can easily double-count someone: i

f you are oneperson with two jobs, you show up as two workers. The payroll survey also doesn't capt ure the number of self-employed, and so says little about how many people ar e generatin

g an independent income.

The household survey has a larger problem. When asked straightforwardly , people tend tolie or shade the truth when the subject is sex, money or emp loyment. If you get a call and areasked if you're employed, and you say yes, you're employed. If you say no, however, it maysurprise you to learn that you are only unemployed if you've been actively looking for work inthe past four weeks; otherwise, you are "marginally attached to the labor force" and nota ctually unemployed.

The urge to quantify is embedded in our society. But the idea that statistici ans can then capture an objective reality isn't just impossible. It also leads to serious misjudgments.Democrats and Republicans can and will take sides on a number of issues, but a more crucial concern is that both are basing maj or policy decisions on guesstimates rather than looking atthe vast wealth of r aw data with a critical eye and an open mind.

Passage Two

Questions 57 to 62 are based on the following passage.

At some point in 2008, someone, probably in either Asia or Africa, made the decision to movefrom the countryside to the city. This nameless person push ed the human race over a historicthreshold, for it was in that year that manki nd became, for the first time in its history, apredominantly urban species. It is a trend that shows no sign of slowing. Demographers (人口统计学者) reckon thatthree-quarters of humanity could be city-dwelling by 2050, with most of the increase comingin the fast-growing towns of Asia and Africa. Migrants to cities are attracted by plentiful jobs,access to hospitals and educ ation, and the ability to escape the boredom of a farmer'sagricultural life. T hose factors are more than enough to make up for the squalor (肮脏), diseaseand spectacular poverty that those same migrants must often a t first endure when theybecome urban dwellers.

It is the city that inspires the latest book from Peter Smith. His main thesis is that the buzz of urban life, and the opportunities it offers for co-operation and collaboration, is what attractspeople to the city, which in turn makes cities i nto the engines of art, commerce, science andprogress. This is hardly revol utionary, but it is presented in a charming format. Mr. Smithhas written a b reezy guidebook, with a series of short chapters dedicated to specific aspec tsof urbanity - parks, say, or the various schemes that have been put forwar d over the years forbuilding the perfect city. The result is a sort of high-qualit y, unusually rigorous coffee-tablebook, designed to be dipped into rather tha n read from beginning to end.

In the chapter on skyscrapers, for example, Mr. Smith touches on constructi on methods, the revolutionary invention of the automatic lift, the practicalit ies of living in the sky and the likelihood that, as cities become more crowde

d, apartment living will become the norm. Butthere is also time for brief diver sions onto bizarre ground, such as a discussion of the skyscraper index (whi ch holds that a boom in skyscraper construction is a foolproof signof an i mminent recession).

One obvious criticism is that the price of breadth is depth; many of Mr. Smit h's essays raiseas many questions as they answer. Although that can indeed b e frustrating, this is probably theonly way to treat so grand a topic. The city is the building block of civilisation and of almosteverything people do; a guideb ook to the city is really, therefore, a guidebook to how a largeand ever-growin g chunk of humanity chooses to live. Mr. Smith's book serves as an excellent introduction to a vast subject, and will suggest plenty of further

B) People enjoy living in skyscrapers with a view.

C) Skyscrapers are a sure sign of a city's prosperity.

D) Recession closely follows a skyscraper boom.

61. What may be one criticism of Mr. Smith's book?
