People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, evenwith today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to wor.Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot worin many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over65 years old, the normal retirement age.Some poor adults do not loo for jobs for a variety of personal reasons they are sic, they do nothave any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.Other poor people loo for a job, but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they loo for jobs, they have few sills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thins it can reduce poverty in the country in the followingwaysFirst, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more worers. Some of the poor who are qualified to loo for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer below thepoverty line.Second, if society invests in the poor，the poor will become more productive.If the government spends money on social programs, education and training for poor people, the poor will have the sills to offer. Then it is more probable that they can find jobs.differently, it raises some poor people Finally, if the government distributes society’s incomeabove the poverty line. The government collects taes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare.Some economists are looing for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.28. This passage is mainly about .A. the poverty lineB. how to loo for jobsC. how to raise the standard of livingD. the causes of poverty and solutions to the problem29. If the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line .A. fallsB. does not changeC. risesD. changes at random30. Which one is not the reason that poor adults do not loo for jobs?A.
