Black or Hispanic women are four times as likely to be low-wage workers as are white men with comparable skills and experience. White women are more than three times as likely as white men to be low-wage workers, and black or Hispanic men more than one-and-a-half times as likely. More than half of ail low-wage workers are the only wage workers in their families, or live alone.
Employment no longer provides an escape from poverty. More than eight million working adults are poor; two million of them work full-time, year-round. More than seven million poor children have at least one working parent. When that one working parent is a low-wage worker, the children have no better chance of escaping from poverty than if the parent were not working at all; more than two-fifths of such children are poor.
Even if generous income assistance were available, file wages employers pay would be held to a minimum. In addition, policies such as tax credits for working parents do nothing to increase the political power of working women and men.
Our research shows that unionization is among the most effective strategies for raising pay, especially for women and minority men. Being a union member, or being covered by a collective-bargaining agreement, raised 1984 wages by ＄1.79 per hour for Hispanic men, ＄1. 32 for black men, ＄1.26 for Hispanic women, ＄1.01 for black women, ＄0.68 for white women, and＄ 0.41 for white men, when all other factors, such as occupation, industry, firm size, education and experience were held constant. In percentage terms, the union increase was more than 15 percent for blacks and Hispanics, 11 percent for white women, and 4 percent for white men.
During the 1980s, women started to play a more important role in ______.
A．demanding political rights.
B．improving social welfare.
C．supporting the family.
D．earning better wages.

The Jobless Rate in U. S.
There are only a couple of ways to explain how the capacity of U.S. workers to claim their accustomed share of the nation&39;s income has so stunningly collapsed. Outsourcing is certainly a big part of the picture.
As Stephen Roach, a famous economist, has noted, private-sector hiring in the current recovery is roughly ？million jobs shy of what would have been the norm in previous recoveries and U.S.corporations, high-tech as well as low-tech, are busily hiring employees from lower-wage nation instead of from our own.
The jobless rate among U.S. software engineers, for instance, has doubled over the past three years.In Bangalore, India, where American companies are on a huge hiring spree for the kind of talent they used to scoop up in Silicon Valley, the starting annual salary for top electrical engineering graduates, says Business Week, is $ 10,000 compared with $ 80,000 here in the States.Tell that to a software writer in Palo Alto and she&39;s not likely to up her boss for a raise.That software writer certainly doesn&39;t belong to a union, either.
Indeed, the current recovery is not only the first to take place in all economy in which global wage rates are a factor, but the first since before the New Deal to take place in an economy in which the rate of private-sector unionization is in single digits just 3.5 percent of the workforce.
The current administration is not responsible for the broad contours of this miserably misshapen recovery, but its every action merely increases the imbalance of power between America&39;s employers and employees.But the Democrats&39;prescriptions for more broadly shared prosperity need some tweaking, too.With the globalization of high-end professions, no Democrat can assert quite so confidently the line that Bill Clinton used so often : What you earn is a result of what you learn.This year&39;s crop of presidential candidates is taking more seriously the importance of labor standards in trade accords, and the right of workers to organize.But they&39;ve got a way to go to make the issue of stagnating incomes into the kind of battle crying it should be in the campaign against Bush.If they&39;re not up to it, I say we outsource them all and bring in some pools from Bangalore.
Which of the following might have contributed to the current miserably misshapen recovery in the U.S.？ 查看材料
A.The New Deal.
B.The globalization of eco.nomy.
C.The economic policies adopted by the Bush administration.
D.U.S.workers are no longer capable of sharing the increase of nation"s income.

Empowering workers constitutes the first step toward a stronger economy and stronger citizen-ry. It is a vital step toward overcoming inequality in American society. During the 1980s, the need for better wages for all workers increased as women, traditionally secondary earners, assumed grea- ter responsibility for their own and their children's well-being. Yet the ability to raise families to a decent living standard through wage work decreased; real wages fell for most workers. And the Federal Govemment enacted no new policies to facilitate the integration of work and family, as working women and working families suffered a loss in political power as well.
Black or Hispanic women are four times as likely to be low-wage workers as are white men with comparable skills and experience. White women are more than three times as likely as white men to be low-wage workers, and black or Hispanic men more than one-and-a-half times as likely. More than half of all low-wage workers are the only wage workers in their families, or live alone.
Employment no longer provides an escape from poverty. More than eight million working adults are poor; two million of them work full-time, year-round. More than seven million poor children have at least one working parent. When that one working parent is a low-wage worker, thechildren have no better chance of escaping from poverty than if the parent were not working at all ;more than two-fifths of such children are poor.

Questions are based on the following passage．
You know Styrofoam （泡沫聚苯乙烯，俗称泡沫塑料 ）. It"s so bad for theenvironment that small， liberal cities have been banning it for decades. Now big citiessuch as New York and Washington， D.C.， are contemplating the same.
Except that you don"t really know Styrofoam. The real STYROFOAM TM has neverbeen used to hold food and beverage containers， which are made out of the less insulative （绝缘的 ） and moisture-resistant expanded polystyrene （聚苯乙烯）. And the maker ofthe real STYROFOAM TM， Dow Chemical， would really like everybody to stop using theterm.
"We"re doing everything we can to make sure that it"s used properly，" says TimLacey， Dow"s business director for building solutions in the Americas.
STYROFOAM TM was invented in 1941， and was first used the next year in a CoastGuard life raft. Now， it"s used exclusively in building insulation， to float docks and insome molds for floral arrangements. It"s often colored light blue.
"When people see the blue dye， and they see Styrofoam， to our customers， that"s apromise that they"re going to get the people， the knowledge and the relationship，" Laceysays. "We actually do make it blue for that reason."
Protecting that brand is no small task. Lacey says Dow spends "a great deal of timeand money" to do so， with a public affairs staff to keep tabs on the high-profile misusesof the term， and consultants who monitor major media outlets. They typically send outbetween 25 and 30 cease-and-desist letters annually. A couple years ago， during thecongressional cafeteria wars over envirormaentally friendly plates and utensils （器皿） ，they even had to send letters to House leadership asking them to please stop maligningtheir product. Usually， Dow says it"s an honest mistake and abusers promise to avoid theterm in the future; the company has never actually taken legal action to enforce its rights.
They can"t get everywhere， though. The Internet still abounds with Styrofoamabuse. Case in point: The Washington Post itself， whose reporter Mike DeBonis didn"thear from Dow Chemical after unintentionally misusing the term in a Nov.7 article abouta proposed ban on foam food packaging. Then there"s Save Our Shores， a Californiaadvocacy group that heard nothing about its campaign against "Styrofoam"， according todirector Laura Kasa.
Dow is actually facing a fairly common problem in intellectual property protection: "Genericide （非商标化 ） "， which happens when a product becomes so universal thatpeople use it to refer to all products in the category， like the brand names Kleenex andBand-Aid now apply respectively to facial tissue and small adhesive bandages. If theoriginal trademark holder doesn"t make a serious attempt to police it， the mark could loseprotection altogether.
How are people mistaken about Styrofoam？ 查看材料
A.By seeing it as something made out of plastic.
B.By believing it to be used to hold food.
C.By saying that it is environmentally friendly.
D.By thinking it is originally blue.
