问答题Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don"t be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, arid do not go home until two in the morning. It"s the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even it simply speaks of them as "old so-and-so"s boy." Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesn"t know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off yore coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you.

问答题Our hypothesis is that immigrants, who often do not speak the language and do not master the culture and norms of the host country, are concentrated in more manual-routine tasks (especially among less educated groups). The inflow of immigrants thus increases the supply of manual skills relative to the supply of abstract skills with two effects: ● Due to the complementarity between these types of skills, the increase in the supply of manual tasks boosts relative compensation for complex skills, making them better paid. ● Exploiting their comparative advantage, natives move to occupations requiring a relatively higher level of these skills. This positive reallocation and the complementarity of tasks can explain the lack of negative employment effects as well as the potential positive wage effects of immigration on native workers. So here"s how it all shakes out. Low-skilled immigration reduces economic inequality when we set aside nationalist assumptions and focus on people instead of populations. Even if we cling to analytical and moral nationalism, low-skilled immigration doesn"t happen to increase measured inequality. On the contrary, complementaries between the skills of migrant and native workers can leave natives better off than they would have been with less immigration. 注释： (1)hypothesis n. 假设 (2)account for动词短语固定搭配，解释……的原因 (3)positive a. 积极的/正面的negative a. 消极的/反面的 (4)host a. 主人，主持host country在文中指移民寄居国 (5)boost v. 向上推，推起 (6)reallocation n. 重新分配allocate v. 分配，配给 allocation n. 前缀re-，有“重新、再”的意思 (7)complementarity n. 互补性 complementary a.

问答题A huge proportion of the Iranian budget is spent on subsidizing a wide range of goods for Iranian consumers from food to refined petroleum. President Ahmadinejad has been proposing a big cut in that subsidy. His argument is that it should be replaced with cash handouts to the most needy. But the Iranian parliament is worried that Mr Ahmadinejad"s proposal could increase inflation to an annual figure of up to 50%. So members of parliament have halved the proposed cuts. There"s concern that a dramatic rise in prices could provoke a new round of unrest and perhaps lead the poorer classes to give more active support to the opposition. There"re also suspicions that the real motive for the subsidy cut is to make up for a budget shortfall. Clear figures are hard to get hold of, but it seems that Mr Ahmadinejad"s government failed to build up any substantial cash reserves when oil prices were at record levels. For years Iranians have been suffering multiple economic problems including inflation at or above 20%. Blame is placed either on Mr Ahmadinejad"s eccentric management of Iran"s finances or on international sanctions or a combination of both. With new sanctions actively under discussion, the situation is not about to get any easier. 注释： (1)subsidize v. 资助，给……补贴subsidy n. 补贴 (2)refined petroleum精炼石油 (3)Ahmadinejad(伊朗总统)内贾德 (4)provoke v. 致使，引起 (5)suspicion n. 怀疑suspect v. 怀疑 (6)shortfall n. 赤字deficit的委婉说法，译为短缺，不足额 (7)substantial a. 实质的，大量的substance n. 物质 (8)multiple a. 复合的，多样的 (9)eccentric a. 怪癖的，古怪的 (10)sanction n. 经济制裁
