There is no doubt that the United States has entered a brand new age, because Donald Trump, the country’s 45th president, is very different from any president before him.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, his opponent, and most former US presidents, who entered the election after years of being politicians, Trump, 70, was a New York real estate businessman.
And he was not a presidential candidate who worked hard to keep a perfect public image of a man who was always caring, fair and wise.
Instead, Trump is famous for being bad-tempered, arrogant（倣慢的）and hateful toward those who disagree with him. He also hates immigrants, both from Latin America and the Middle East, for many problems in the US. This has caused a dangerous division in the country—a country made up of many various races.
But to his supporters, the fact that Trump is not a typical politician is actually one of his advantages. His habit of never hiding his opinions is also considered by many to be a sign that he is not a hypocrite like many politicians are.
“We have seen our country take a downturn in the eyes of the world. We need to go in a different direction，” Binyomin Weisswasser, 39, a man from Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune. “Trump’s not a politician... I like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind. It gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get. You may not like it, but you know what it is.”
But interestingly, many who elected Trump actually followed the “lesser of two evils” principle―one that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant

options—simply because they didn’t think Clinton was a better choice.
“He’s the candidate I disagree less with，” Jack Stucky, 20, a student at Norwestern University, told the Chicago Tribune. “I don’t think I’d say Donald Trump is going to be the best president ever, but I did think he’d be better than Hillary Clinton.”
It’s true that the US is entering a new age. It’s just not clear yet what kind of age it’s going to be.
29. What’s the difference between Trump and any president before him?
A. He didn’t try to keep a perfect public image
B. He was a businessman before the presidential election. C. He gained popularity by his bad reputation.
D. He is not always politically correct and speaks his mind.
30. The underlined words “a hypocrite” is closely related in meaning to .
A. a caring person C. a shy person
B. a dishonest person D. a selfish person
31. Where can we put the following paragraph?
“But no matter how people feel about him, Trump is going to take office as the US president on Jan 20, 2017.”
A. Between paragraph 3 and paragraph 4. B. Between paragraph 4 and paragraph 5. C. Between paragraph 6 and paragraph 7. D. Between paragraph 8 and paragraph 9. 32. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It reports on people’s different views on Trump’s victory in the election. B. It explores the advantages Trump has over Hillary in the election. C. It predicts what changes Trump will bring to the US.
D. It analyzes the reasons for Trump’s victory in the election.
