在美国，黑人是各族裔中处境最不好的。贫穷率、失业率和犯罪率都是黑人最高。据统计，黑人的失业率是白人的两倍以上；黑人占美国总人口的12%，但在监狱中，黑人罪犯却占47%。一位民权领袖作过统计，在成年黑人男子中，三个人中就有一个人曾经或者正在坐牢。为什么情况如此触目惊心？一、在各族裔中，黑人收入水平最低。据2000年统计，美国黑人的年平均收入只相当白人的62.9%。“穷”是许多问题的根源：住不起好社区，而住在贫民

Two Nations： Black America and White America
A new report says black and white Americans continue to be divided in areas of economic opportunity, education, health and social justice.
The National Urban League recently released its yearly report, called &The State of Black America.& The league works to help black Americans. Its report tells a familiar story of racial disparities in American life.
It says blacks are much more likely to be unemployed than whites. It notes that as many as 20 percent of blacks in seven of the country's largest cities do not have a job.
The study links education and joblessness.
Mark Morial is the president of the National Urban League. He notes there is a large difference in the proficiency of blacks and whites in mathematics and reading. He says that means the inequality between blacks and whites will continue.
&The United States must close the gaps, must close the achievement gap, must close the jobs gap. It is essential to America's economic competitiveness in the 21st century.&
Mr. Morial says the group's report showed that even when blacks and whites have the same educational level, black unemployment is higher.
&People ask me why and I think it is the presence of still exclusion and discrimination in the workforce to some extent.&
Rudy Crew is president of Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York. About 90 percent of the students there are black. He says the school is taking steps to make sure they are ready for the workplace.
&More and more we're having everything from career days to a real focus on the networking, if you will, that it takes to basically not just to enter your chosen career but to really get the job that you want.&
Shemroy Primo is in his final year at the college. He says he was disappointed but not surprised by the report.
&But I mean as a black man, you know it's really hard out there in the job market. And I went to high school in Brooklyn, East New York, so I have a lot of friends that are really looking up to me and they're really proud of me because you know I've taken a different route. I went to college. I'm a senior. I'm a rising senior. This is my last semester and I plan to go to Law school&
Mr. Primo believes he must work twice as hard as a young white man to get a job.
I'm Marsha James.

听力文本From NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Speer.Republican objections to President Obama's negotiations on a possible deal to end Iran's nuclear program found a new voice — a letter from 47 GOP senators to Iran's leaders. The letter points out while Obama leaves office in 2017, many Republicans in Congress will be around a lot longer, possibly decades, and may not honor a deal struck by the president. NPR's S.V. Dáte reports Democrats are not amused.Senate Democrats say the letter is motivated by Republicans' dislike of President Obama in a desire to embarrass him and that it destroys the long-standing tradition that politics ends at the water's edge. Obama says he will continue negotiations.&I think it's somewhat ironic to see some members of Congress wanting to make common cause with the hardliners in Iran. It's a non-usual coalition.&He says he will worry about selling it to the American people if and when a deal is reached. Republicans argue Obama is naive in his dealings with Iran and that his deal is not likely to end the threat that the country will develop nuclear weapons. S.V. Dáte, NPR News, Washington.Amid the latest protests over a police shooting of an unarmed black man, the police chief from Madison, Wisconsin today says he hopes the family of Tony Robinson can find forgiveness in their hearts. Meanwhile, around 1,500 protesters were demonstrating in front of the state Capitol today. Turin Carter, the uncle of a 19-year-old who was shot to death says the family is encouraged by the demonstrations but also notes they are not against police.&We are not proponents of anti-police. In terms of the chants that I hear going on, in regards to not trusting police, we don't condone that.&An unarmed black teen was shot by an officer who responded to a call about an individual jumping in and out of traffic and reportedly assaulting someone.Regulators in New York today announced a nation-wide settlement with credit rating agencies. And as NPR's Chris Arnold reports, the goal is to get better with fixing errors on people's credit card reports.A bad credit score can keep you from getting a job or renting an apartment. And a recent government study finds that more than ten million Americans have significant errors on their credit reports. So New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has just announced a settlement with Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.&The settlement agreement we're announcing today provides an extraordinary set of reforms that will impact hundreds of millions of families across the United States.&The settlement pushes credit rating firms to be more proactive about fixing mistakes. Also people with medical debt will get some more breathing room. But consumer advocates say regulators are only to enforce this deal and existing laws. Chris Arnold, NPR News.An upstart of the trading week on Wall Street: The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 148 points, closing at 17,995; the NASDAQ rose 15 points today.You're listening to NPR News in Washington.South Korea's president today paid a visit to injured US Ambassador Mark Lippert. Lippert was attacked by a knife-wielding man during an event last week and had to be hospitalized after having his face slashed. Lippert is currently at Seoul's Severance Hospital with South Korean President Park Geun-hye who was hospitalized after she was attacked by a man wielding a box cutter during an election rally. The man alleged to have attacked Lippert is now in custody.In North Carolina, authorities are investigating an Amtrak train crash earlier today that resulted in 40 passengers receiving care at a local hospital. From North Carolina Public Radio WUNC, Jessica Jones has more.The Carolinian 80 is a popular train for both commuters and business passengers traveling from the Carolinas to New York. As it was heading north, it collided with a tractor-trailer at a railroad crossing near an intersection. The collision caused the train's locomotive and baggage car to derail. Fifteen passengers were taken to a local hospital by ambulance and 25 were transported by bus. The rest of the passengers were taken to a community center. An Amtrak spokeswoman says none of the injuries have been reported as life-threating. Local law enforcement authorities and Amtrak officials are investigating the incident. North Carolina's Department of Transportation is also providing support. For NPR News, I'm Jessica Jones in Chapel Hill.Somewhat rare occurrence in South Carolina where a 500-pound leatherback sea turtle nicknamed Yawkey had become stranded on a beach. The turtle's now being treated in an aquarium there. According to a biologist with the Department of Human Resources, it's the first she's aware a live turtle of this kind has been found beached in the state. The leatherback is endangered. It can grow as large as 800 to 1,000 pounds.I'm Jack Speer, NPR News in Washington.
