(32) Identity thieves steal personal information. They collect Social Security numbers, banking records and telephone numbers. They use this information to request loans or get credit cards in the name of the victim. Identity thieves spend a lot on goods or services without paying for them. F.T.C. officials estimate more than fifty-two thousand million dollars in goods and services were purchased last year through identity theft.

听力原文: Childhood poverty has both immediate and lasting negative effects. Children in low-in come families fare more poorly than children in more affluent families in the areas of economic security, health, and education. Children living in families that are poor are more likely than children living in other families to have difficulty in school, to become teen parents, and, as adults, to earn less and be unemployed more. The child poverty rate provides important information about the percentage of U. S. children whose current life circum stances are hard and whose futures are potentially limited as a result of their family's low income.
The full distribution of the income of children's families is important, not just the percentage in poverty. Knowing that more and more children live in affluent families tells us that a growing proportion of America's children enjoy economic well-being. The growing gap between rich and poor children suggests that poor children may experience more relative deprivation even if the percentage of poor children is holding steady.
Since 1980, the percentage of children living in families with medium income has fallen from 41% to 34% in 1996, while the percentage of children living in families with high in come and the percentage of children in extreme poverty have risen, from 17% to 24% and from 70/00 to 8%, respectively.

Ray Kroc, a milk shake machine salesman, saw the massive potential of the brothers' business and decided to get involved. He purchased the rights from the brothers, on April 15th, 1955. He became the McDonald brothers' first franchisee when he opened his own McDonald's restaurant in Des Plaines, a suburb just north of Chicago.
The entry of Ray Kroc into the business contributed to the development in the history of McDonald's. He bought the rights to expand the McDonald's concept outside of California and Arizona, and quickly built the restaurant chain and by 1959 over 100 restaurants were in operation.
What is the secret of Ray Kroc? As a matter of fact, the restaurant was a favor for many of the local teens at first and the menu was primarily barbeque items. Eight years later, the restaurant was closed for several months as it was renovated to become a restaurant that served food and was easy to prepare and served quickly. The food was very limited including Hamburgers, French fries and cold drinks. The employees prided themselves on creating an assembly line type of food preparation and being speedy in getting their food to the customers. The very basic step paved the path to glory. It separated McDonald's from the rest of the competitors and attributes to their great success. The restaurant proved to be an instant success.
By 1984, McDonald's served 17 million customers a day that was equivalent to serving lunch to the entire population of Australia and New Zealand. Today, McDonald's becomes one of the most famous and successful "fast food" chain in America and the world. McDonald's restaurants are now located in 31,000 locations all over the world, and the company employs more than 1. 5 million people. Just have a look at its development in UK. In September 2004 the UK company-owned restaurants employed 43, 491 people: 40, 699 hourly-paid restaurant employees, 2, 292 restaurant managers, and 500 office staff. McDonald's franchisees employed a further 25,000 people.
Which of the following about McDonald's is true?
A.It is started by brothers McDonald and Ray Kroc.
B.It is highly welcomed at the beginning.
C.Its barbeque is the most favorable among people.
D.Its prosperousness is mostly due to Ray Kroc.
