Politics, after all, is concerned with influencing the institutions of the state and these are of limited use in affecting the culture. Not even the totalitarian state has been able to achieve the cultural goals it set itself; the democratic state is an even less likely agent of cultural change,and indeed, in the American tradition of democracy, it should not aim to be that. Consequently, a cultural agenda cannot be a political agenda only. It will have to be pursued in many different institutions,most importantly in the institutions of civil society.All the same, every one of the major cultural issues is also a political issue, because of the way in which the immense powers of the state have been used to promote various 

ideological purposes. The courts have played a quite deplorable role in this. Not surprisingly, then much of American politics in recent decades has been over the so called"social"or"values"ssues, which in effect are cultural issues. That is, these issues have involved conflicts over the questions of who we are and how we are to live together. 5Translate the following into English∶（20 分） 在深圳转了几天后，闻惊雷发现工作不好找，于是正月初五坐车赶到东莞。第二天，他到了 美鑫工业园区附近转，看到一张某电子厂的招聘广告。他决定试试。拨打电话后，一个女孩 把他接到了附近路边的一个门面房里面，简陋的办公室里还有三张电脑桌和三名男子。女孩 给了他一叠印着工作信息的资料让他自己挑。按照上面的信息，闻惊雷发现"储备干部"的职 位待遇不错，每月底薪 1500 元，有奖金和补助，食宿双包，还享受医疗保险。闻惊雷庆幸 自己来东莞来对了。 VI.
