[单项选择]

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee vented their fury over high gasoline prices at executives of the nation’s five largest oil companies on Wednesday, grilling the oilmen over their multimillion-dollar pay packages and warning them that Congress was intent on taking action that could include a new tax on so-called windfall profits. Such showdowns between lawmakers and oil titans have become a familiar routine on Capitol Hill. But with gas prices nearing $ 4 a gallon, and lawmakers headed home for a weeklong Memorial Day recess where they expect to get an earful from angry constituents, there is added urgency for Congress to appear active.
But while momentum is building for several measures, including a bill that would allow the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to be sued in American courts under antitrust laws, there is little sign that any of the proposals would do much, if anything, to lower prices quickly. And the oil executives warned th
A. it is necessary to impose tax on windfall profits
B. it is urgent to fight against monopoly
C. it is pressing to think much of the ever-increasing oil prices
D. it is important to resort to NOPEC

A New Immigration Bill
The US Senate is considering a new immigration bill. It will value the economic promise of immigrants over family ties when considering US residency and citizenship. The legislation, which was proposed by President Bush and a group of senators, contains a point system. The proposal aims to increase the number of immigrants with graduate degrees, earnings or job skills.
The proposed point system would use a 100-point scale. According to a draft of the law, merit applicants could earn up to 47 points for things like occupation, or years of work for a US firm. They could earn up to 28 points for their education, 15 points for English and US civics (公民学), and 10 points for family ties. The system has stirred up debate. Critics on the left say it opposes family unity and American values. Critics on the right complain that it does not reflect the needs of high-tech employers.
The current kin
A. to give priority to immigrants from China
B. to protect the US from terrorist attacks
C. to attract skilled immigrants
D. to increase population

[简答题]A Farewell To Arms

[简答题]Web services

[单项选择]Both the Senate and House health care bills propose incentives to boost corporate wellness programs that aim to help employees stay healthier and to control a company’s insurance costs. But those programs were slowed down with the re- cent enactment (颁布) of a law that generally prohibits employers and insurers from asking workers about their family medical history.
Workplace wellness programs are commonplace these days. More than half of employers offer smoking quitting or weight management programs, according to a 2009 survey by A on Consulting. More than a third have on-site fitness centers.
The first step in enrolling an employee in any wellness program is typically to ask him to complete a health risk assessment containing a dozen or more questions, including some about the employee’s family history of medical conditions.
But the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of genetic information in health coverage.
A. Cautious.
B. Moderate.
C. Appreciative.
D. Condemning.
