Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local government. Arriving
immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 19
th
and
early 20
th
centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to
take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of the 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 enables 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 concerned that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the
21
st
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 year 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 United 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.
16. New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from _____.
A. the U.S. government agencies B. volunteer organizations
C. the people came earlier D. only charity organizations.

20. 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

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

The Earth comprises three principal layers: the dense, iron-rich core, the mantle made of silicate rocks that are
semi-molten at depth and the thin, solid-surface crust. There are two kinds of crust, a lower and denser oceanic dust
and an upper, lighter continent st fod ov oy bot 40 pt of t ts sf. oks of t
crust are of very different ages. Some continental rocks are over 3,000 million years old, while those of the ocean
floor are less than 200 million years old. The crusts and the top, solid part of the mantle, totaling about 70 to 100
kilometers in thickness, at present appear to consist of about 15 rigid plates, 7 of which are very large. These plates
move over the semi-molten lower mantle to produce all of the major topographical features of the Earth. Active
zones where intense deformation occurs are confined to the narrow, interconnecting boundaries of contact of the
plates.
There are three main types of zones of contact: spreading contacts where plates move apart, converging
contacts where plates move towards each other and transforming contacts where plates slide past each other. New
oceanic crust is formed along one or more margins of each plate by material issuing from deeper layers of the
ts st, fo xple, by volcanic eruption of lava at mid-ocean ridges. If at such a spreading contact the two
plates support continents, a rift is formed that will gradually widen and become flooded by the sea. The Atlantic
Ocean formed like this as the American and Afro-European plates moved in opposite directions. At the same time at
margins of converging plates, the oceanic crust is icing reabsorbed by being sub-ducted into the mantle and re-
melted beneath the ocean trenches. When two plates carrying continents collide, the continental blocks, is too light
to be drawn down, continue to float and therefore buckle to form a mountain chain along the length of the margin
of the plates.
