WASHINGTON, Sept. 23—The House of Representatives, which prides itself on being “the People’s House” has been turning into a rich man’s club.
The representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study on the members’ financial reports.
Behind this remarkable swing, the study says, are two main factors: a court decision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns, and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in congress. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women to amount successful challenge to entrenched office holders.
One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns, but congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.
“The lower chamber is going upper class,” said Mark Green, the president of The Democracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. “But this evolution from a House of Representatives to a House of Lords denies the diversity of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: low and middle income need not apply.
The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interest Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York’s 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congres

B. The House of Representatives was made up of people with low and middle income.
C. The House of Representatives was rich men’s club.
D. The House of Representatives is made up of people with low and middle income.

In South Africa, paragliding(滑翔傘運動) is one of the most popular sports around. Paragliding in South Africa is a delight and, at times, a frightening challenge.
A paraglider is, firstly, someone who has been well taught in the skill of flying. Once you have done the 4-day course and decide that you have the right mental attitude and the basic physical requirements, the mountain slopes(山坡) wait for you. If you have never tried it before, you are sure to learn it in a few days, but safety comes first.
Strangely, the relatively flat Karoo heartland is one of the best areas to paraglide in. The towns of De Aar and Kuruman in the Northern Cape Province are centres of Karoo Paragliding. South African paragliders hold more than 50% of the world records in this sport—most of them set in the Karoo. But why are the paragliders so crazy about the Karoo? “The cloud base there is so high and the wind is proper and stable. You can glide for hours, going up as high as 4,000 metres in the sky,” they explain.
Foreign pilots wanting a taste of South Africa’s paragliding opportunities can get a short-time license. They can hold it for three months at most. Medical examination and insurance are needed by the South African Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association.
The Western Cape has more than 60 official paragliding launch and flight sites. Up north along the Drakensberg slopes, you will see the brave “One-Wings” doing their thing daily, flying in the sky or taking the “ridge lift”, riding a wave of wind as it clears a mountain slope.
41. If you want to learn paragliding, you must be _____ .
A. brave and healthy B. calm and delighted
C. young and clever D. excited and powerful
42. Why does Karoo attract paragliders all over the world？
A. Because it has very beautiful scenery.
B. Because it is easy for them to get licenses.
C. Because the conditions and climate are ideal for paragliding.
D. Because it is well-known in the world.
43. What do we know from the passage?
A. De Aar is the only centre of Karoo paragliding.
B. People can go high up in the sky while paragliding.
C. Paragliding needs skills, but it’s very safe.
D. All the world records of paragliding were set in the South Africa.
44. Foreign pilots who want to paraglide in South Africa _____ .
A. needn’t have a medical examination
B. will spend a great deal of money
C. can stay there for two months at most
D. must hold a short-time license
45. The author wrote this passage mainly to _____ .
