with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in
order to find solutions to the problem.
As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with
today"s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below
the poverty line.However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of
living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over
40 percent of the poor people are children.By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many
industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years
old, the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not
have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school.
Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.
First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers.Some of the poor who
are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.
Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive.If the government spends
money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer.
Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
Finally, if the government distributes society"s income differently, it raises some poor people above
the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These
payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received
welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present
time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.
B. to explain why some people live the poverty line
C. to find solutions to the problem of poverty
D. to show sympathy for those poor people
B. Poor people are those who live below the poverty line.
C. The poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises.
D. The poverty line tends to be at the same level.
B. they are so young that they don’t have the right to work
C. they fail to get enough education
D. they are very poor in health
B. they are not very self-confident
C. they are too young or too old to work
D. they have physical and family problems
B. welfare will enable them to be rich
C. poor people are sure to go out of the poverty line if they have chances to do business
D. employment is the best solution to the poverty problem

ago.Unlike government schools, which have very large classes of 90 children , many of
whom do not want to learn, Bridge has small classes, so pupils get a great deal of attention.
Small classes are good for teaching, but the school is always having difficulty with money
since private schools are dependent on parents paying on time.
The school has five primary classes and three nursery classes(幼儿班). As the children
progress through the school they will add another class next year. The total number of children
in the primary is about 50. The parents of Bridge children are often higher earners than those
that attend government schools. They want their children to have the best education available.
The school is not yet finished. The classrooms have no windows or doors. But it is very
formal and insists on children wearing uniforms(制服).Discipline is strict and the children are
well-behaved. Only English may be spoken and not the local language. Although English is
the national language and the language of education, government schools teach in their own
language for the first three years.
School starts at 7 am and the children have to be on time. Classes are formal, but children
have to copy lots of things from the blackboard, because there are few textbooks, sometimes
only one for the teacher to use. Class work is heavy and the children have tests every week.

after only a month of weightlessness, according to French research published on Friday.
Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research
into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station
showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.
"Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts, " the scientists reported in the Lancet
Medical Journal.
They measured the bone mineral density (BMD) of bones in the forearm(前臂) and
lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.
The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨) of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone,
but barely changed in the radius(桡骨) of the forearm. "Our results indicate the need to
investigate not only different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all
sites of the skeleton (骨架) are similarly affected by space conditions, " they added.
Without gravity the body isn"t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium (钙)
which makes bones strong, and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.
The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone
density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after
returning to Earth.
B. they were not interested in their own astronauts
C. the Russian government invited them to do their research
D. the Russian astronauts worked in space for a period of time
B. the BMD loss may cause some change in astronauts" bodies
C. astronauts shouldn"t care about the BMD loss
D. astronauts should take some calcium before space travel
B. The drinks they take in space.
C. The temperature in space.
D. The gravity in space.
B. simple
C. weak
D. slow
much like ours. In fact, Charles Darwin"s theory of evolution says that monkeys and humans share
a common ancestor. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us, and we also love to
use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language This is why many monkey expressions
are about tricky people or playful acts.
Monkeyshine is one of these expressions to show tricks or foolish acts. The meaning is clear if
you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other:pulling tails, stealing food,
doing tricks.
Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing. When you feel
like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do, you are monkeying around. It is just a way
to pass the time.
Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal activities You may come across a news
report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting
secret payments from builders.
Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. In earlier years in many
American cities, you would find men playing musical hand organs on the street. Dancing to the music
would be the man"s small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful jacket similar to a military
uniform. So, people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit.
B. Monkeys have the same brains as humans.
C. Monkeys often act like humans in many ways.
D. Monkeys are humans closest relatives in species.
B. monkeying around
C. monkey suit
D. monkey business
B. are originally designed for American soldiers
C. share typical features with military uniforms
D. make American soldiers look like monkeys
B. used on some formal occasions
C. about tricks and naughtiness
D. about terrible funny behaviors
needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the
world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world"s population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources
on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man"s needs.
The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man"s technology is big. Oil and gas explorations
have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready
to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and
shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people, including people
in China.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong,
new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the
problems that prevent us from exploiting (开发) fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea
will be largely solved.
B. minerals and oil
C. warm temperature and ocean currents
D. the food, energy sources, and minerals
B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed
C. the problems preventing our using the resources of the sea have already been solved.
D. by the year 2020, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources.
B. African people
C. European people
D. American people
B. Technology for Exploiting the Sea
C. Sea Harvest
D. Man, nature and the Sea
