The third reason why immigrants have traditionally come to the United States is to have a better life—that is, to raise their standard of living. For the vast majority of the immigrants who came here, this was probably the most compelling reason for leaving their homeland. Because of its incredibly abundant natural resources, the United States appeared to be a land of plenty where millions could come to seek their fortunes. Of course, most immigrants did not “get rich overnight,” and many of them suffered terribly, but the majority of them were eventually able to improve upon their former standard of living. Even if they were not able to achieve the economic success they wanted, they could be fairly certain that their children would have the opportunity for a better life. The phrase “going from rags to riches” became a slogan for the “American Dream.” Because of the vast riches of the North American continent, the dream came true for many of the immigrants. They achieved material success and many became very attached to material things. Material wealth became a value to the American people.
33. 윗글의 밑줄 친 many became very attached to material things 가 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은?
① many people were obsessed with materialism
② material wealth were intertwined with their sense of achievement and identity
33. ②
해설: ‘많은 사람들이 물질적인 것에 매우 애착을 갖게 되었다’는 것은 많은 이민자들이 물질적 성공을 이루고 소유물을 얻기 시작하자 그 소유물에 강한 정서적 또는 심리적 애착을 갖게 되었다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 애착은 물질적 부가 미국에서 그들의 성취감과 정체성과 어떻게 얽히게 되었는지를 보여준다. 마지막 단락에 ‘개인의 물질적 소유의 질과 양이 성공과 사회적 지위의 척도로 받아들여졌다’고 하므로 ②번이 적절하다.
