Question III. Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions below.(10 pts)
Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local government.
Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors form their homeland to help them start a
new life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted publicwelfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the
rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief
that anyone who was willing to work could find a job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one
of the programs - Social Security – has become an American institution. Paid for by deduction from
the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest

monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other
assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but
many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern
that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st
century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy
makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is
still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs.
These include Medical and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase
food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons with low
incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than government for help. A broad spectrum of
private charities and voluntary organizations is available.
Volunteerism is on the rise in the Unite States, especially among retired persons.
It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75
percent of U.S. household contribute money to charity.
71. New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from_______________.
5


A. the U.S. government agencies
B. volunteer organizations
C. the people who came earlier
D. only charity organizations
72. Public-welfare programs were unable to take firm root in the U.S. due to the fast growth
of____.
A. population
B. urbanization
C. modernization D. industrialization
73. The word “instituted” mostly means_____________.

A. enforced
B. introduced
C. carried out
D. studied
74. The Social Security program has become possible thanks to________.
A. people’s willingness to work
B. enforcement laws
C. deductions from wages
D. donations from companies
75. Most of the public assistance programs________ after the severe economic crisis.
A. did not become institutionalized
B. did not work in institutions
C. were introduced into institutions
D. functioned fruitfully in institutions
76. That Social Security payment will be a burden comes from the concern that______.
A. the program discourages working people B. younger people do not want to work
C. elderly people ask for more money
D. the number of elderly people is growing
77. Persons with low incomes can access public housing through_______.
