One of the major problems is that of finding new jobs for laid-off workers. The problem is quite serious as the workers are mostly middle-aged and poorly equipped with the computer technology, coupled with the already competitive job market for new college graduates every year. 　　Still we can manage to find some solutions to it. To begin with, priority should be given to the expansion of the service industry because the service sector can create a great number of positions with few restrictions on age, education, and skills etc.. In addition, the laid-off workers have to update their skills to meet the demands of society. Just as the old saying goes, God helps those who help themselves.Lastly, they should stop relying on the state and throw away any worries about their face while doing some odd jobs such as washing dishes at restaurants or sending newspapers to households. 　　As a college student still on campus, I realize that I have the great chance and responsibility to prepare myself better for future work, like learning English harder and taking computer courses more seriously. No one is entitled to idle time away. 　　Best wishes! 　　Yours, 　　Mingming 　　Part IIReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 　　1．Y 文章第一段第七句谈到了Most people，与题目中的the majority of people等同，该句意为Most people在无工作情况下的状态是at a loss，与该题have no idea ...表达意思相同。 　　2．N 文章在第一段倒数第三句明确指出能够智慧地充实自己的闲暇时间是人类文明的最后阶段，而到目前为止，很少有人达到这个（文明）程度，这与本题所表达意思恰好相反。 　　3．Y 该题的信息词是idle rich，通过这个词查找到文章第一段倒数第二句Most of the idle rich suffer unspeakable boredom as the price of their freedom from drudgery（作为无需从事辛苦工作的代价，很多富人承受着难以言语的乏味），这与本题表述意思相同。 　　4．Y 该题的信息词是不为工作疲于奔命的人和无所事事的人，通过信息词查找到文章第二段最后一句，与该题意思表达相同。其中zest与passion同意。 　　5． N 该题的信息词为人物，即被限制在家里做家务的妇女（women confined to home
