21. (阅读理解题)
The poverty line（贫困线）is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. 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, even with 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 work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation（动力）. They have family problems, or they do notbelieve that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.
First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty 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 skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare (福利)for a minimally acceptable standard of living.

22. (阅读理解题)
There is much more water than land on the surface of the earth. The seas and oceans cover nearly four-fifths of the whole world, and only one-fifth of it is land. If you traveled over the earth in different directions, you would have to spend much more of your time moving on water than moving on roads or railways. We sometimes forget that for every mile of land there are four miles of water.
There is so much water on the surface of our earth that we have to use two words to describe it. We use the word SEAS to describe those parts of the water surface which are only a few hundred miles wide, and the word OCEANS to describe the huge areas of water which are thousands of miles wide and very deep.
A sea such as the Mediterranean Sea provides an easy way of travelling from one country to another. Ships are frequently crossing the small seas of the world in all directions. Oceans separate the great continents. Until steamships were invented, a voyage across a wide ocean was a long and sometimes very dangerous journey. Oceans have only been used for travelling and trading within the last few hundred years. Even now, ships only use those parts of oceans which provide the shortest way across. The other parts of oceans are very seldom visited.
You can understand that we do not know much about the oceans because of their huge size. Another reason why we know so little about them is because of their great depth. At the bottom of an ocean there is black darkness. Sunlight cannot reach the great depth.
