2021年上半年公共英語四級閱讀理解習(xí)題第十篇

編輯推薦：2021年上半年公共英語四級閱讀理解習(xí)題匯總

There is something grimly ridiculous　as well as pathetic in　the messy way we　manage　things in our crude attempt as civilization. While we are spending hundreds of thousands　of dollars of the people’s money annually in improving the breed of pig, or in fighting cattle disease, we are neglecting the most valuable asset of all, the　children of the　nation. A　million dollars of the people’s money can be spent upon a speedway so that rich people　might have an opportunity of exercising their blooded　stock, while not a penny can be　found in the State appropriations (撥款 ) to find food for starving children.

This foolish state of affairs was brought out in strong relief when the school teachers　organized themselves into a relief committee to find ways and means for supplying food to　the hungry children under their charge. This organization　was brought about by the　pitiable plight of the children, many of whom had become so weakened for lack of proper　nourishment　that they fainted at their desks while trying to study their lessons. The　teachers have called their organization the“Children ’s Relief Society, ”and the day after　the organization was perfected they were enabled to issue tickets to the most destitute (赤貧的 ) of the children which entitled them to immediate relief.

Besides this effort on the part of the teachers, emergency measures for the relief of　hundreds of pupils in other schools have been adopted by the committee of school board　members. The newspapers reported that relief came in this case in the form of two soup　　kitchens which were opened and equipped so as to provide for hundreds of the starving　children.

Destitution has visited hundreds of families as the result of the business depression. Not　only have the educational authorities taken up the matter, but various generous societies have begun active work for relieving the distress. All of which is excellent in every way, yet　it is not enough; it does not go far enough, for it ought not to be left to charity, but ought to　be made a State duty.
