.

STEVE Wayne, 16, who worked this summer as a lifeguard and swim teacher in Idaho Falls, was thrilled to see an extra $20 in his paycheck when the federal minimum wage increased in July.

“When you’re getting paid minimum wage, anything helps, ” Wayne said.Wayne is one of several hundred thousand American teenagers who earn the minimum wage. The last of three recent increases that took the minimum from $5.15 an hour in 2007 to $7.25.U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis says the minimum-wage increase will pump an extra $5.5 billion into the economy over the next year, which is helpful at a time when the economy is hurting.

"You're giving people who spend money a raise," says Kai Filion of the Economic Policy Institute. "Those people will go out and spend that money, and it will circulate through the economy."

But other economists say raising the minimum wage actually hurts the very people it's designed to help. A higher hourly minimum, they say, could force businesses to cut workers' hours, or even lay people off.

"What matters for people earning minimum wage is how much money they take home, in total, in their paycheck," explains Rajeev of Georgia State University's Economic Forecasting Center. "Their hourly rate may go up, but their number of hours may come down, so it's not an overall increase."

Business owners also say that raising the minimum wage exerts(施加)upward pressure on other wages. "If the minimum wage is $7 and I have to pay $8 or $9 to hire a dishwasher, then the cooks are going to say they want more," sayd Cleveland restaurant owner Rick. "How much can I charge for that hamburger?"

Another argument is that it makes it more expensive for businesses to hire new workers. For many businesses already struggling to make ends meet in these tough times, it will be simply too expensive to keep or to hire new people.

55.Steve Wayne was excited that_____________ .

A.his hard work had paid off

B.he had received a big wage increase

C.he has more money due to an increase in minimum wage

D.the wages of American teenage workers have been increased

56.According to the text, the US federal government has increased minimum wage with the aim of__________

A.decreasing unemployment

B.promoting economic recovery

C.increasing American teenagers’ wage

D.narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor

57.What matters most to people in need of help is_____________.

A.a(chǎn) higher hourly minimum       B.more working hours

C.a(chǎn) minimum-wage increase      D.a(chǎn)n increase in total income

58.Some are against the increase in minimum wage because they say_____________.

A.only very few workers will be helped

B.they have to cut down working hours

C.many business owners can’t afford to employ new workers

D.minimum wage workers will expect more pay rises in the future

Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school. But this 19-year-old Swede is anything but ordinary, from the computer in his parents’ home he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) find out the world’s most wanted cyber criminals .

Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found out the maker of the “Melissa” virus in March 1999. He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected sender of the dangerous “I LOVE YOU” virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.

Jonathan’s special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the “virtual” crimewave. In between studying for final exams, hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother’s football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives lessons on e-security (電子安全) to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker trade.

Many companies have already tried to employ him, but he is not interested at the moment. Instead, he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Sweden’s Uppsala University and start up his own e-security company.

Although he works with the FBI now, his family insists he’s just “a regular kid”. “Jonathan is a great kid, he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer,” his little sister Tessa said, adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help”, not because he’s looking for fame and recognition.

When the world was hit by the “Love Bug” virus, Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e-security to look into the problem. “Finally on May 7, I had some free time, so I began looking.” Within a few hours, he had found the suspect and e-mailed his method and results to the FBI. He said his work on the “Melissa” virus, which took three weeks to solve, was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.

“This time I knew exactly where to start, I knew what to disregard and what to look at.”

A. Swedish kid helps FBI find out the most wanted cyber criminals

B. his work together with Fredrik Bjoerck to find out the maker of the “Melissa” virus

C. his little sister’s talk about his good qualities as a regular kid and a good programmer

D. his speech on e-security to many computer companies after his fight against hackers

3. From Jonathan’s success in finding out the sender of the dangerous ‘Love Bug” virus we can infer that _________.

A. where there’s a will, there’s a way           B. experience is knowledge

C. hard work leads to success                   D. failure is the mother of success

4.What do we know about Jonathan?

B. He is such a brave fighter that any criminal will feel afraid.

C. He is an expert on security, not interested in running a company.

As we all know, any country has good reasons to want its citizens to be as healthy as possible. This led to the introduction of a health service in many countries. France has developed into a country in which all citizens can get most of the health treatment free. The money for this is partly from the people who are willing to offer.

But there are different opinions about the Health Service. The number of patients treated every year and the cost of treatment are much greater than expected. This means that the people who work for the Health Service --- doctors, nurses and other hospital workers, have much more work to do, and as a result they have little time for preventive treatment.

However, the tough problem is that as many people are able to receive treatment more expensive than they can pay, sometimes people go and visit their doctors when they don’t really need to. As there are many patients, doctors cannot spend time long enough with each patient. So some people prefer to pay for their own treatment so that their doctors can examine them more carefully. In fact, some rich people feel that they should pay more free money, which would be given to other citizens.

1. France is described as an example to show that __________.

  A. people have to pay part of the medical care 

B. everyone in France enjoys free medical care

  C. it is a country with the Health Service   

D. it is a very rich country in Europe

2. What is the problem in the Health Service?

  A. Money is not enough to employ more medical workers.

  B. There are not enough well-treated doctors.

  C. People can get more preventive treatment.     

D. Doctors and nurses are not working hard.

3. Why do many people go and see the doctors even when they really don’t need to?

  A. To keep himself even more healthy.       B. To receive treatment free of charge.

  C. To take back some expensive medicine.   D.To get necessary protective treatment.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

  A. The Health Service is quite successful so far.

  B. People should not go to the doctors unless necessary.

  C. There is much to improve the Health Service.

  D. The rich should be allowed to pay for the treatment.
