At first glance, the religion of legal American immigrants over the past 20 years appears unremarkable（不显著的）. But look closer and what emerges is a country in the midst of （正当...的时候）profound change. The top of the bars show that the share of Christians are falling (from 68% in 1992 to 61% in 2012) while the proportion of Muslims（穆斯林） and Hindus（印度教教徒） have more than doubled (from 5% to 10% and 3% to 7%).（用括号表示比较和数量变化，句式简洁）
Real incomes have stagnated（停滞）in many rich countries and family budgets are feeling the pinch（本义是捏、掐，此处为家庭预算吃紧的意思）. In Britain fuel costs 50% more than it did in 2007 .But petrol prices are just one of the costs of running a car; owners also have to fork out（fork是叉子，该词组意为付钱） for insurance, road tax and servicing（“维修”，相关词汇例如expiration date：有效期）.
The chart below shows（show可替换成illustrate,demonstrate等）the total cost of buying a family car (an average of low- and high-end brands（高低档汽车）) in selected cities in 2010, then running it for three years. London car-owners may be surprised to see that they are no worse off than motorists（驾车者） in many other rich countries. Generally, where running costs are high, this is offset（抵消）by cheaper car prices, and vice versa（“反之亦然”，雅思听力中出现过该词组）.
