Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter of private charities or local governments Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life In the late 19th and early 20th 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 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 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
Trang 3people, Social Security ensures that retired people receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it Social Security ensures that retired people can start
at the age of 62, but many wait until the age of 65 when the payments are slightly higher
Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security Fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21th 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 years since President Franklin Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs These include Medicaid 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 people on low incomes Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the 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 people It is estimated that 50 percent of Americans over the age of 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of US households contribute money to charity
26 New immigrants to the US could seek help from
A the people who came earlier B the US government agencies
C only charity organizations D volunteer organizations
27 It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the US due to the fast
growth of
A industrialization B modernization C urbanization D population
28 The word “instituted” in paragraph 1 mostly mean
A executed B studied C introduced D enforced
29 Needy Americans can seek help from
A federal government B government agencies
C state governments D non-government agencies
30 The passage mainly discusses
A public assistance in America B immigration into America
C funding agencies in America D ways of fund-raising in America
