单选题German Chancellor(首相) Otto Von Bismarck may be most famous for his military and diplomatic talent, but his legacy(遗产) includes many of today"s social insurance programs. During the middle of the 19th century, Germany, along with other European nations, experienced an unprecedented rash of workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing industrialization. Motivated in part by Christian compassion (怜悯) for the helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut the support of the socialist labor movement, Chancellor Bismarck created the world"s first workers" compensation law in 1884.
By 1908, the United States was the only industrial nation in the world that lacked workers" compensation insurance. America"s injured workers could sue tot damages in a court of law, but they still laced a number of tough legal barriers. For example, employees had to prove that their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential hazards in the workplace. The first state workers" compensation law in this country passed in 1911, and the program soon spread throughout the nation.
After World War Ⅱ, benefit payments to American workers did not keep up with the cost of living. In fact, real benefit levels were lower in the 1970s than they were in the 1940s, and in most states the maximum benefit was below the poverty level for a family of four. In 1970, President Richard Nixon set up a national commission to study the problems of workers" compensation. Two years later, the commission issued 19 key recommendations, including one that called for increasing compensation benefit levels to 100 percent of the states" average weekly wages.
In fact, the average compensation benefit in America has climbed from 55 percent of the states" average weekly wages in 1972 to 97 percent today. But, as most studies show, every 10 percent increase in compensation benefits results in a 5 percent increase in the numbers of workers who file for claims. And with so much more money floating in the workers" compensation system, it"s not surprising that doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to a large slice of the growing pie.

单选题(A)
Some years ago, an American policeman found a woman lying near a lonely road. She did not appear to have had an accident, but she was trembling, and clearly in a state of shock, so he rushed her to the nearest hospital. She began to tell the doctors on duty a story which was astonishing. She had been driving along a country road when she had been stopped by a flying saucer (飞碟) landing in front of her. She had been forced to leave the car and enter the flying saucer by creatures which looked like human beings and which could easily make themselves understood although they could not speak. It was as though they could read her thoughts and she theirs. They treated her politely and allowed her to leave after carrying out a number of tests on her. As she otherwise seemed to be normal, the doctor decided that she was probably suffering from the side effects of some drug. The woman insisted on being allowed to go home, but when she gave her address it was in a town over a thousand miles from the hospital. The police then started to look into the matter and soon discovered that there was already a search going on for the woman, whose husband had reported that she had disappeared. Her car had been found with the driver"s door open and the engine running. In front of the car the surface of the road had been completely destroyed not by an explosion or anything of that kind, but as though a large, circular, white-hot object had burnt through it.
