After the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, we’re in the midst of the longest streak of private-sector job growth in our history. More than 14 million new jobs. An unemployment rate cut in half. At the same time, our economy continues to go through profound changes that began long before the Great Recession hit. It’s changed to the point where even when folks have jobs; even when the economy is growing; it’s harder for hardworking families to pull themselves out of poverty, harder for young people to start out on their careers, and tougher for workers to retire when they want to.
    That’s a big part of the reason a lot of working families are feeling anxious. And it offends our fundamentally American belief that everybody who works hard should be able to get ahead. That’s why we’ve been fighting so hard to give families more opportunity and more security—by working to create more good jobs, invest in our middle class, and help working people get a raise. It’s what the Affordable Care Act is all about—filling in the gaps in employer-based care so that when somebody loses a job, or goes back to school, or starts that new business, they still have health care. And it’s why I believe we’ve got to take steps to modernize our unemployment insurance system.
    If a hardworking American loses her job, regardless of what state she lives in, we should make sure she can get unemployment insurance and some help to retrain for her next job. If she’s been unemployed for a while, we should reach out to her and connect her with career counseling. And if she finds a new job that doesn’t pay as much as her old one, we should offer some wage insurance that helps her pay her bills. Under my plan, experienced workers who now make less than $ 50,000 could replace half of their lost wages—up to $ 10,000 over two years. It’s a way to give families some stability and encourage folks to rejoin the workforce—because we shouldn’t just be talking about unemployment; we should be talking about re-employment.
23. What circumstance is the United States facing after the economic crisis?
24. What measures does the government take to alleviate the anxiety of people?
25. What can she get from the government, if a hardworking American loses her job?

选项 A、Unemployment insurance.
B、A reception.
C、Wage as her last job provided.
D、A new job.

答案 A

解析 选项都是名词或名词短语。题目问的是如果一个辛勤的美国人失去了她的工作,她能从政府那里得到什么。文中提到如果一位辛勤工作的美国人失去了工作,无论她住在哪个州,我们都应该确保她可以拿到失业保险。由此可知,答案为A)。
