What is the news item mainly about?
President Barack Obama is urging the U. S. Senate to act this week on extending benefits for 2. 5 million unemployed Americans. Mr. Obama says Americans without jobs are being held " hostage" by Senate Republicans who have blocked legislation to extend unemployment insurance that expired in June. (24)Three times in recent weeks, Republicans have used parliamentary tactics in the Senate to block the extension of benefits, angering the President at a time when he is trying to move this and other legislation through Congress before the congressional recess.
The White House has declared the unemployment bill an emergency measure, meaning it does not have to be offset by spending cuts in other areas of the federal budget.
选项
A、The endeavor of the U.S. government to raise employment rate.
B、The attempt of the U.S. government to cut spending.
C、The scramble for the mid-term election.
D、The argument on unemployment benefits extension.
答案
D
解析
归纳题。由句(23)及(24)可知,奥巴马和民主党敦促美国议会延长失业保险,而共和党人却不同意。故正确答案为D。
