What can be done about mass unemployment All the wise heads agree:there’re no quick or any answers.There’s work to be done,but workers aren’t ready to do it.They’re in the wrong places,or they have the wrong skills.Our problem are“structural,”and will take many years to solve.But don’t bother asking for evidence that justifies this bleak view.There isn’t any.On the contrary,all the facts suggestthat high unemployment in America is the result of inadequate demand.Saying that there’re no easy answers sounds wise,but it’s actually foolish:our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the intellectual clarity and political willto act.In other words,structural unemployment is a fake problem,which mainly serves as an excuse for not pursuing realsolutions.The fact is job openings have plunged in every major sector,while the number of workers forced into part-timeemployment in almost all industries has soared.Unemployment has surged in every major occupational category.Only threestates,with a combined population not much larger than that of Brooklyn,have unemployment rates below 5%.So theevidence contradicts the claim that we’re mainly suffering from structural unemployment.Why,then,has this claim become so popular Part of the answer is that this is what always happens during periods of high unemployment-in part because experts and analysts believe that declaring the problem the problem deeply rooted,with no easy answers,makes them sound serious.I’ve been looking at what self-proclaimed experts were saying about unemployment during the Great Depression;it was almostidentical to what Very Serious People are saying now.Unemployment cannot be brought down rapidly,declared one 1935analysis,because the workforce is“unadaptable and untrained”.I cannot respond to the opportunities which industry mayoffer.A few years later,a large defense buildup finally provided a fiscal stimulus adequate to the economy’s needs anD.suddenly industry was eager to employ those“unadaptable and untrained”workers.But now,as then,powerful forces areideologically opposed to the whole idea of government action on a sufficient scale to jump-start the economy.And that,fundamentally,is why claims that we face huge structural problems have been multiplying:they offer a reason to do nothingabout the mass unemployment that is crippling our economy and our society.So what you need to know is that there's no evidence whatsoever to back these claims.We aren't suffering from ashortage of needed skills;we’re suffering from a lack of policy resolve.As I said,structural unemployment isn’t real problem,it's an excuse-a reason not to act on America’s problems at a time when action is desperately needed.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage 《》（）A.To testify to the experts’analysis of America’s problems.B.To offer a feasible solution to the structural unemployment.C.To show the urgent need for the government to take action.D.To alert American workers to the urgency for adaptation.

单选题Passage1 In many of the developing countries in Africaand Asia, the population is growing fast. The reason for this is simple: Womenin these countries have a high birth rate - from 3.0 to 7.0 children per woman.The majority of these women are poor, without the food or resources to care fortheir families. Why do they have so many children? Why don't they limit thesize of their families? The answer may be that they often have no choice. Thereare several reasons for this. Onereason is economiIn atraditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having morechildren means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care ofthe parents in old age. In an industrial economy, the situation is different.Many children, do not help a family; instead, they are an expense. Thus,industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the casein Italy, which was industrialized quite recently and rapidly. In the earlypart of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural countrywith a high birth rate. After World WarⅡ, Italy's economy was rapidly modernized and industrializeBy theend of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1. 3 children per woman, theworld's lowest.However,the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate. SaudiArabia, for example, does not have an agriculture-based economy, and it has oneof the highest per capita incomes in the worlNevertheless,it also has a very high birth rate. Mexico and Indonesia, on the other hand,are poor countries, with largely agricultural economies, but they have recentlyreduced their population growth. Clearly,other factors are involveThemost important of these is the condition of women. A high birth rate almostalways goes together with lack of education and low status for women. Thiswould explain the high birth rate of Saudi Arabia. There, the traditionalculture gives women little education or independence and few possibilitiesoutside the home. On the other hand, the improved condition of women in Mexico,Thailand, and Indonesia explains the decline in birth rates in these countries.Their governments have taken measures to provide more education andopportunities for women. Anotherkey factor in the birth rate is birth control. Women may want to limit theirfamilies but have no way to do so. In countries where governments have madebirth control easily available and inexpensive, birth rates have gone down.This is the case in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Indonesia,Thailand, Mexico, and Brazil. In these countries, women have also been providedwith health care and help in planning their families. Thesetrends show that an effective program to reduce population growth does not haveto depend on better economic conditions.3 It can be effective if it aims tohelp women and meet their needs. Only then, in fact, does it have any realchance of success. (495 words) According to this passage, Italy today is an example of an _______.Aagricultural country with a high birth rateBagricultural country with a low birth rateCindustrialized country with a low birth rateDindustrialized country with a high birth rate
