The decline of marriage: For richer, for smarterThe traditional family is now the preserve of a minority. Marriage, and its many ups and downs, still exercises a powerful hold over newspapers, magazines and the airwaves. Nearly 23m Americans watched Prince William being joined in holy matrimony to Kate Middleton. Millions more have wallowed in the break-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger's marriage after revelations that he fathered a son with a maid. And the tumescent tweets of congress man Anthony Weiner have stirred up endless speculation about the health of his own year-old marriage and the forbearance of his newly pregnant wife.Less titillating are revelations about the sorry state of marriage across the United States. Data from the Census Bureau show that married couples, for the first time, now make up less than half (45%) of all households.The iconic American family, with mom, dad and kids under one roof, is fading. In ever, state the numbers of unmarried couples, childless households and single-person households are growing faster than those comprised of married people with children, finds the 2010 census. The latter accounted for 43% of households in 1950; they now account for just 20%. And the trend has a potent class dimension. Traditional marriage has evolved from a near-universal rite to a luxury for the educated and affluent.There barely was a marriage gap in 1960: only four percentage points separated the wedded ways of college and high-school graduates (76% versus 72%). The gap has since widened to 16 percentage points, according to the Pew Research Centre. A Census Bureau analysis released this spring found that brides are significantly more likely to have a college degree than they were in the mid-1990s.“Marriage has become much more selective, and that's why the divorce rate has come down,” said Bradford Wilcox, become much more selective, and that’s why the divorce rate has come down,” said Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The project found that divorce rates for couples with college degrees are only a third as high as for those with a high-school degree.Americans with a high-school degree or less (who account for 58% of the population) tell researchers they would like to marry, but do not believe they can afford it. Instead, they raise children out of wedlock. Only 6% of children born to college-educated mothers were born outside marriage, according to the National Marriage Project. That compares with 44% of babies born to mothers whose education ended with high school."Less marriage means less income and more poverty，" reckons Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She and other researchers have linked as much as half of the income inequality in family composition: single-parent families (mostly those with a high-school degree or less) are getting poorer while married couples (with educations and dual incomes) are increasingly well-off. "This is a striking gap that is not well understood by the public." she says.Do not expect the Democratic Party, however, to make an issue of the marriage gap in next year’s elections. Unmarried women voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. "You don't want to suggest to someone who isn't married and has children that they should be married." says Ms Sawhill. “That is a denigration of their lifestyle."1. According to the passage,（）.2. Which of the following is True?3. The divorce rate has come down because（）.4. “Less marriage means less income and more poverty” is（）.5. Unmarried women Voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama because （）.

The government makes rich pensioners richer stillBRITAIN’S pensioners are a cosseted lot. Since 2011 their state pensions have been protected by the “triple lock?” which ensures they rise along with prices, warnings or 2.5%, whichever is higher. Perks for the old such as free TV licenses and bus passes and an annual winter handout to help with heating have all survived austerity. Government bonds paying well above the market rate of interest have just been made available exclusively to those aged 65 and over. Is all this generosity justified?Pensioners are poorer than working-age people-almost all have incomes below the national average. But they are treated better by the state. For any given private income, retirees' equalized disposable income-that is, money available to spend after the deduction of taxes and payment of benefits, and adjusted to account for household size—is higher than that of younger peopleThe state pension, currently worth about £ 6.000 (around $9,000) a year, accounts for much of the discrepancy. It is often seen as a reward for past contributions, not as a pure benefit, but this is dubious: pensions are funded by today's taxpayers. Even if pensions are counted as private income, the richest pensioners still do well from the state. They do not pay national insurance (a tax levied only on earned income) on their private pensions, leaving more money for cruises and conservatories.On January 27th, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph newspaper, David Cameron promised that a future Conservative government would remove housing benefit from 18- to 21-years-olds---a group that suffers from higher-than-average unemployment and already receives less generous welfare payments. Meanwhile, the silver-haired who will benefit most from the government’s new bonds are those who can afford to stash away the full £ 20,000 limit—more than a year's income for most pensioners. It's a good time to be rich and old.1. “Austerity’ in line 5, paragraph 1 means（）.2. Which of the following is true?3. Discrepancy' in line 2, paragraph 3 refers to（）.4. In British, retirees can go for cruises and conservatories, because（）. 5. Why it is a good time to be rich and old in British, because（）.

International Vaccination: A .jab in timeSome Western countries have lower vaccination rates than poor parts of Africa. Anti-vaxxers are not the main culprits.Eradicating a disease is the sort of aim that rich countries come up with, and poor ones struggle to reach. But for some diseases, the pattern is reversed. These are the ailments for which vaccinations exist. Many poor countries run highly effective vaccination programmers. But as memories of the toll from infectious diseases fades across the rich world, in some places they are making a comeback. The World Health Organization (WHO) reckons that vaccines save 2.5m lives a year. Smallpox was eradicated in 1980 with the help of a vaccine; polio should soon follow. In both cases, rich countries led the way. The new pattern looks very different.The trend is most evident for measles, which is highly contagious. At least 95% of people must vaccinate to stop its spread (a threshold known as "herd immunity"). Although usually mild, it can lead to pneumonia and cause brain damage or blindness the countries with the lowest vaccination rates are all very poor, but many developing countries run excellent programmes (see chart). Eritrea. Rwanda and Sri Lanka manage to vaccinate nearly everyone. By contrast, several rich countries, including America, Britain. France and Italy, are below herd immunity. Last year Europe missed the deadline it had set itself in 2010 to eradicate measles- and had almost 4,000 Cases. America was declared measles-free in 2000; in 2014 it had hundreds of cases across 27 states and last year saw its first death from the disease in more than a decade. The trends for other vaccine-preventable diseases, such as rubella, which can cause congenital disabilities if a pregnant woman catches it, are alarming, too.This sorry state of affairs Js often blamed on hard line "anti-vaxxers: parent’s u ho refuses all vaccines for their children. They arc a motley lot. The Amish in America spurn modern medicine, along with almost everything else invented since the 17th century. Some vegans object to the use of animal-derived products in vaccines' manufacture. The Protestant Dutch Reformed Church thinks vaccines thwart divine will. Anthroposophy, founded in the 19th century by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian mystic-cum-philosopher, preaches that diseases strengthen children's physical and mental development.In most countries such refuseniks are only 2-3% of parents. But because they tend to live in clusters, they can be the source of outbreaks. A bigger problem, though, is the growing number of parents who delay vaccination, or pick and choose jabs. Studies from America, Australia and Europe suggest that about a quarter of parents fall into this group, generally because they think that the standard vaccination schedule, which protects against around a dozen diseases, "overloads- children’s immune systems, or that particular vaccines are unsafe. Some believe vaccines interfere with “natural immunity". Many were shaken by a claim, later debunked, that there was a link between autism and the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella.In America, some pour children miss out on vaccines despite a federal programme to provide the jabs free, since they have no regular relationship with a family doctor. Some outbreaks in Eastern Europe have started in communities or Roma (gypsies). Members of this poor and ostracized minority are shunned by health workers and often go unvaccinated.1. The word "culprits "(Line 2. Paragraph 1) probably refers to（）.2. The word "Anti-vaxxers "(Line 1, Paragraph 1) probably refers to（）.3. For some diseases（）.4. Which of the following is true?5. Which of the following accords with the author's view?

Barack Obama's health reformsWHEN Barack Obama signed a sweeping set of health reforms into law on March 23rd 2010, he knew it was a historic moment-and not just because Joe Biden, the vice-president, whispered into his ear that it was a "big fucking deal". He had successfully ridden the wave of popular support that brought him into office to deliver universal health coverage, a feat that eluded all his predecessors.But the reality of politics has obstructed that grand dream. Republican leaders in Congress are trying to repeal the law outright. Several federal judges have ruled that one of the central provisions of the new reforms, an "individual mandate" requiring everyone to purchase coverage, is unconstitutional. And a recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a non-partisan outfit, revealed that hostility to the laws among politically vital independents has shot up sharply. One year on, how fares Mr. Obama's proudest achievement?The chief strategy used by the administration to win over skeptics and to undermine legal challenges is to present the new laws as an unstoppable juggernaut. For example, when Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, spoke about the reform to the Senate Finance Committee on March 16th, she pointed to evidence of an "enormous difference it has made in the lives of Americans".True, the administration has rushed into force provisions affecting consumers directly, in an effort win popular support. For example, some forbid insurers from denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions, or imposing lifetime payout caps on anyone. The new laws also already require insurers to cover children up to 26 on their parents' policies, which will benefit some 1.2m young people. Nearly 48m people on Medicare, the government health scheme for the elderly, are to get free preventive services such as colonoscopies and mammograms. In 2010 nearly 4m of them got $250 tax-free rebates to help pay for drugs.All that seems impressive, but here’s the rub: many Americans do not believe Mrs. Sebelius. Roughly half of those polled by KF'F thought Obama care had already been repealed or were unsure of footing. It remains the law of the land.The administration is also forging ahead with less visible aspects of the new laws. By 2014, when the bulk of the reform’s provisions kick in, states are required to have put regulated insurance exchanges in place so that consumers can buy plans that meet minimum standards for coverage. All would be required to buy insurance, but the less well-off will get subsidies. The federal government is offering technical assistance as well as money to states to nudge them towards establishing such market-places. Alas, in this too Mr. Obama has hit snags. Some Republican-led states, first among them Aiaska and Florida, are refusing to take the money, while many others are demanding the rules. To the surprise of some, Mr. Obama announced at a recent meeting of governors at the White House that he supports a plan-first proposed by Ron Wyden, a sparky Democratic senator-to grant "innovation waivers" starting in 2014. As long as states meet general goals on covering more people and curbing costs, they will be given flexibility in how they set up their local insurance markets.1.
