I’m a big fan of your newspaper, and so are many of my friends. We enjoy all the information in your articles.
On Monday, you ran one about some of the best and worst paying jobs in the USA. However, I was surprised it didn’t talk about the pay gap. Men get paid a lot for working, and women should, too. It’s too bad that they don’t.
Women make up almost half of the workforce. Sadly, women with full-time jobs in the USA only get 79 cents for every dollar men make. Because of that, women earn US$10,763 less than men every year. Women with university degrees face a higher pay gap, and so do women of color. In fact, they have it worse. African American women aren’t paid that much, and neither are Latin American women. The former gets 60 cents for every dollar paid to white men, and the latter gets 55 cents. The truth is working women would make enough money for about 83 more weeks of food for their families if they were paid the same as men.
This pay gap hurts women, their families, and businesses. More has to be done to stop it as soon as possible.
Sincerely, Ruth Bader 58. Which chart can best show the pay gap in America?
(A) (B)
(C) (D)
59. How many women make up the American workforce? (A) Only 34%.
(B) Around 66%. (C) About 50%. (D) Over 75%. 60. What does “it” mean?
(A) The pay gap. (B) The newspaper.
(C) The information Ruth got. (D) Skin color difference. 61. What do we learn from the letter?
(A) White women make 79 cents, and so do women of color.
(B) Latin American women make almost half as much as white men. (C) University women make enough money to buy food for 83 weeks.
(D) African American women make US$10,762 more than African American men.

The number of fat people in China has skyrocketed in the past thirty years. With 300 million overweight adults and 46 million that are obese, the country comes second only to the United States. According to a study in a well-known medical journal, 28% of Chinese men and 27% of Chinese women are overweight or obese. The study defined the former as having a BMI, or height-to-weight ratio, of 25 or more and the latter as 30 or greater.
However, that’s not the worst of it. China’s future is also in trouble because its children are slowing themselves down with lots of extra weight. The study found that 23% of Chinese boys under 20 years old are overweight or obese, while 14% of Chinese girls have the same problem (see Figure 1). This could prove to be deadly for the country because many doctors believe these super heavy children will not be around to see their parents die of old age. The biggest reason for this is that the obese kids will be dealing with a whole bunch of health problems. The major one is the increased risk of diabetes, and others include cancer and heart disease. It goes without saying that unhealthy diets and a lack of exercise have caused the country’s weight problem to get bigger and bigger.
(Figure 1) 62. What does it mean when something has “skyrocketed”?
(A) It has been shot into outer space.
(B) It has increased greatly and very quickly. (C) It has been painted to look like the sky.
(D) It has blown up into little pieces like a rocket on fire.
63. What will most likely happen to overweight and obese Chinese boys and girls? (A) They will live long and healthy lives.
(B) They will move out to the countryside and work as farmers. (C) They will pass away before their parents.
(D) They will get treated by the country’s doctors. 64. What is NOT discussed in the news report?
(A) The problems of being really overweight. (B) What it means to be overweight or obese. (C) How obese children can lose weight quickly. (D) Why adults and children are getting fatter. 65. According to the report, which is correct?
(A) More Chinese girls are overweight than Chinese boys. (B) Half of the world’s obese people live in China alone.
(C) Three times as many Chinese boys are overweight than American ones. (D) More than twice as many American girls are obese than Chinese ones.
