　　For most Americans, the word "poverty" suggests destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter. But only a small number of the 35 million persons classified as "poor" by the Census Bureau fit that description.
　　While the poor are generally well-nourished, some poor families do experience hunger, meaning a temporary discomfort due to food shortages. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA),13 percent of poor families and 2.6 percent of poor children experience hunger at some point during the year. In most cases, their hunger is short-term. Eighty-nine percent of the poor report their families have "enough" food to eat, while only 2 percent say they "often" do not have enough to eat.
　　The typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions ,cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care .His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded .By his own report, his family is not hungry and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his family’s essential needs.　While this individual’s life is not well-off, it is equally far from the popular images of frightening poverty conveyed by the press.
