    improve our language 后面加上ability吧

    second改为secondly

    Nowadays , more and more students go to foreign countries to study . many people are spare no effort in applying for going abroad .

    现在,越来越多的学生去国外去深造。其中就有很多人不遗余力地申请到国外去留学。

    About this phenomenon , different people have different points . some people agree with it . first of all , studying abroad is the best way to improve our language . if we want to break away from “ mute English ” , it’s a good method to help you . second , by studying abroad we can better to know foreign countries’ culture . going in a country and we can experience different culture’s charm . last but not least , it’s a good opportunity to travel , make friends with different people and broaden your horizon .

    关于这一现象,不同的人有不同的分。有些人同意这样的说法。首先,出国留学是最好的方法,以改善我们的语言。如果我们想摆脱“哑巴英语”,这是一个很好的方法来帮助你。第二,通过学习国外可以让我们更了解外国的文化。要在一个国家,我们还能体验不同的文化的魅力。最后,但并非最不重要的是,这是一个很好的机会去旅行,广交朋友,与不同的人,开阔你的眼界。

    But others disagree with it . in the first few months these students will have a language barrier and hard to go in their society . many students can’t make a good programme when their parents aren’t with them , some of them spend their abroad’ time in vain .

    但是其他人不同意它。在最初几个月这些学生将有语言障碍,并努力去。许多学生在他们的社会做不出好节目的时候,他们的父母没有和他们在一起,他们中的一些人花费他们的国外的时间是徒劳的。

    As long as I’m concerned , if we have a chance to study abroad ,we should treasure make full use of it . it will make us be wiser . because of the study’s experience , I believe that our life will also be more beautiful and wonderful .

    只要我关心的,如果我们有机会去国外学习,我们都应该珍惜充分利用它。它将使我们变得更聪明。因为该研究的经验,我相信,我们的生活也将更加美妙。

    1.many people are spare no effort in applying for going abroad .
    spare 应该改成 sparing ,一般进行时。

    2.About this phenomenon , different people have different points .
    这句话总觉得有点不太顺。
    point 改成 standpoint 或许更佳。或者直接把这个句子改成:Standpoints vary from person to person. 感觉更舒服些。

    3.second , by studying abroad we can better to know foreign countries’ culture .
    better不是个动词,所以不能接在情态动词后。应改成we can know foreign countries’ culture better.

    4.going in a country and we can experience different culture’s charm .
    好像一般不会说go in a country, 可以说成 go to a country.

    5.in the first few months these students will have a language barrier and hard to go in their society .
    hard前面要加上be,will be hard to do sth.
    另外,go in society 也好别扭,step into the society或join the society应该更舒服。

    6.many students can’t make a good programme when their parents aren’t with them .
    一般没make a programme这种说法,楼主或许是想表达制定计划吧。那应该用schedule。

    7.As long as I’m concerned
    没这种说法,应该说成As far as I’m concerned。

    8.we should treasure make full use of it
    这句话把两个动词谓语叠在一起了,可以分开说成we should treasure it and make full use of it。

    9. it will make us be wiser
    应该去掉be. 说成make us wiser.

    比较明显的错误应该就是这些。

    在整体上,我建议楼主在写四级作文的时候可以多用些从句,以及对一些词汇进行适当的润色。比如说最后一句的because of,可以说成owing to或者 as a consequence of之类的。agree with 可以说成 in favor of。

    总之,这些需要靠平时的积累和练习。总之,希望楼主的英语作文能够取得长足的进步!如果有什么需要追问的话,很高兴能与你交流!

    A.should develop

    4._________
    A: countries
    B: areas
    C: regions
    D: provinces

    答案:A
    解析:
    前文说了很多不同国家钞票的不同,最后一个转折,肯定是要说相同的地方。in common是固定搭配,意思是相同,共同。故选C项common。
    选century最合理,意为20世纪之交。period(A项), year(B项)或decade (D项)都不合逻辑。故选C项century。
    本段第二句提供了解答本题的线索。Frank Vriesekoop的研究与以前的科学家的研究不同,他比较了各国钱币上的病菌数量,在他之前的科学家的研究范围局限于一个国家的纸币。四个选项中只有within表达“在(一个国家)里”的意思。故选B项within。
    经过第四题选词的思索过程,本题很自然在different之后用countries,指不同的国家。故选A项countries。
    上一句说Vriesekoop比较不同国家纸币携带病菌的数量。本题的句子明确指出他对比的纸币涉及十个国家。四个选项中只有gathered(收集)与上下文的意思相匹配。故选D项gathered。
    填词所在的句子与前面的主句存在因果关系。为什么要从食品店和食品摊收集纸币呢? 因为这些地方常要用现金支付。所以本题答案是A项because。
    上一句中说澳元携带最少的细菌,本句与上一句是相对的,肯定是最多的,选A项most。
    本句的句意是我们所说的纸币其实并不是由纸做的。所选的副词来修饰所说,给的四个选项分别是A项“相似地”;B项“简直不”;C项“轻微地”;D项“通常地”。所以选 D项usually合适。
    本段说纸币的材料一般不是纸,通常是用棉花织物或高分子聚合物制作的。所以C项materials(材料、原料)是正确的。
    前文说了不同国家的纸币携带的细菌数量不同,此处选B项货币最为合适。填入后全句意思就是:含细菌最少的三个国家的纸币……。故选B项c盯rencies。
    the other+名词表示“其他的……”。其他选项从语法上无法与the搭配。此句意为:其他纸币大部分是印在棉织物上的。所以选D项other。
    本句前面两句讲述了细菌在什么样的介质上更容易存活。承接下来的应该是对之前的总结。本句四个选项的含义分别为A项“连接”;B项“参与”;C项“表述”;D项 “估计”。C选项比较合适,填入后句意为:前面的表述说明细菌在聚合物表面不易存活。故选 C项expression。
    科学家要研究细菌如何在纸币上存活。所以本句选how。 if(A项), where(B项), when(D项)都与文意不符。故选C项how。
    on different types of bills(在不同的纸币上)说明是比较关系,所以本句要选compare“比较”。故选B项compare。
    纸币和细菌的关系肯定是纸币携带细菌。“避免”(A项)、“杀死”(B项)和 “选择”(D项)细菌都不正确。所以选C项carries。

    Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020

    The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
    2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided
    by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.
    The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on
    Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing
    countries as well as rich ones.
    Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries
    more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.
    The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that
    number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will
    mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
    current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.
    "Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the
    first time, matching its effect in industrialized(工业化的)countries , " said researcher Paul
    Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western'
    disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in
    terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."
    The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-
    developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
    countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors(肿瘤)
    at the time of diagnosis.
    Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due
    to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens(致癌物),and an unhealthy
    Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more
    prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen
    in the West,which increase cancer rates.

    Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
    A:There were 1 0 million cancer patients worldwide in 2000.
    B:Generally,cancer accounted for 12% of all deaths in 2000.
    C:Cancer is the cause of over 25%of all deaths in many countries.
    D:It is expected that global cancer rates will go up by 50%by 2020.

    答案:A

In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected but the poor people suffer most.

    正确答案: 1.M would。考 点:助动词。空格前为主语it,后面有系动词be,故该处应填入助动词。根据上下文语境和句中without it可知此句描述的情况与现状相反,需要使用虚拟语气,因此主句谓语部分由would+动词原形组成,故选择M项。
    2.A nor。考 点:连词。该句为否定句,且空格前后为并列成分,故应使用连接词。句意:如果没有征税就没有钱来支付保护我们的士兵和警察,也不可能有钱来支付政府公务员。这个句子是两个否定句相连,应使用连接词组not...nor,故选择A项。
    3.K though。考 点:连词。该句前后存在语义转折,含有让步关系,故应填入表示让步的连词。该句表达的是,虽然每个人都知道征税是必要的,但不同的人对征税怎样安排持有不同的观点。句中的but是明显的转折性标志,故选K项though有让步转折的意思。
    4.O how。考 点:连词。分析句子可知,该处缺少表达方式的连词。由上下文语意可知,此处想强调不同的人对征税的方式有不同观点,所以应选择how来引导介词about后的宾语从句,表示方式,故选O项。
    5.N persons。考 点:名词。分析句子可知,介词on后面接的是征税的方式或对象,故应填入名词。在大多数国家,存在按人头直接征收的income tax,即个人所得税,四个选项中只有persons能表达“个人”的意思,故选择N项。
    6.E exists。考 点:动词。分析句子成分可知,该句缺少谓语,故应填入动词。根据上下文的意思,此处想表达在大多数国家存在个人所得税。exist表示“存在”。故选择E项。
    7.H larger。考 点:形容词。空格前grows相当于系动词be,而且空格修饰的是the percentage of tax,故应填入形容词。这句话要强调的是随着纳税人收入的增加,需纳税的比例也在增长。和percentage搭配表示增长,应使用large,该处表示的是比例变大,故使用其比较级larger,所以选择H项。
    8.I always。考 点:副词。分析句子成分可知,该句成分完整,所以考虑填入副词。征收直接税的国家几乎也都征收间接税。此处需要一个表示“总是”含义的副词,故always“总是,一直”,符合句意。选项中副词还有periodically“周期地,定期地”,但不符合原文内容,应排除,故选择I项。
    9.F who。考 点:连接词。分析句子结构可知,该句为强调句型,并缺少连接词。此题考查It is…who/that…强调句型结构。联系上下文,该部分强调的是the men and women,表示人,所以使用who作连接词,故选择F项。
    10.C form。考 点:名词。句意:那些在商店购买进口商品的男男女女须要通过高价格的形式来纳税。所以此处缺少的是表示方式的连接词组。in the form of表示“以……的形式”符合句意,故选择C项。

  • 第11题:

    问答题
    Dental Health  Decay is not the only disease that can cause tooth loss. Another serious disease affects the gums, the tissue that surrounds the teeth. It is also caused by bacteria. If the bacteria are not removed every day, they form a substance that stays on the teeth. The substance is known as plaque. At first, the gums appear to be swollen, and may bleed when the teeth are brushed. This can lead to serious infection of the tissue around the teeth. The infection may damage the bone that supports the teeth and cause tooth loss and other health problems. Studies have found that people with severe gum disease have an increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and stroke.  Gum disease can be treated by a special dentist called a periodontist. Periodontists are trained to repair the gum areas that have been damaged. This can be painful and costly.  Dental health experts say the best thing to do is to stop gum disease before it starts. The way to do this is to clean the teeth every day. People also should use dental floss to remove plaque from between the teeth. Most experts also agree that another way to prevent tooth and gum problems is to eat foods high in calcium and vitamins and low in sugar.  Scientists continue to develop better dental treatments and equipment. Improved technology may change the way people receive dental treatment in the future. For example, dentists are now suing laser light to treat diseased gums and teeth. Dentists use computer technology to help them repair damaged teeth. Researchers have developed improved methods to repair bone that supports the teeth. And genetic research is expected to develop tests that will show the presence of disease causing bacteria in the mouth.  Such increased knowledge about dental diseases and ways to prevent them has improved the health of many people. Yet problems remain in some areas. In industrial countries, minorities and other groups have a high level of untreated dental disease. In developing countries, many areas do not have even emergency care services. The World Health Organization says people in countries in Africa have the most tooth and gum problems.  World Health Organization experts say the dental health situation is different for almost every country in the world. As a result, it has developed oral health programs separately for each area.  The WHO oral health program is mainly for people living in poor areas. It provides them with information about mouth diseases and health care. It also studies preventive programs using fluoride in water, salt, mild and toothpaste. And it explores ways to include dental health in national health care systems.  Many governments and other organizations provide help, so people can get needed dental health services. But dental health professionals say people should take good care of their teeth and gums.  They say people should keep their teeth as clean as possible. They should eat foods high in calcium and fiber. These include milk products, whole grain breads and cereals, vegetables, fruits, beans and nuts. Recent studies have shown that eating nuts can help slow the production of plaque on the teeth.  Experts say these activities will help everyone improve their dental health throughout their lives.

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    牙齿保健 龋齿并不是唯一一种能对牙齿造成伤害的疾病,还有一种疾病严重影响了牙齿周围的牙龈,它也是由于口腔细菌造成的。如果你不每天清除口腔内的细菌,它们就会在你的牙齿上形成一种叫做牙斑的物质。
    起初,牙龈表现为肿胀,刷牙的时候会出血,并会导致牙周组织的严重感染。这种感染可能会伤及支撑牙齿的骨骼,然后造成牙齿脱落或产生其他健康问题。研究表明,严重牙周疾病患者比一般人更容易得心脏病、糖尿病和中风。
    牙周病可由专门的牙周病医师来进行治疗。他们一般都接受过正规培训,能够修复牙龈周围受到破坏的部分。但是这一过程比较痛苦而且价格昂贵。牙齿保健专家认为,最好的办法就是提前杜绝牙周炎的发生,方法是每天清洁牙齿。人们可以使用牙线来清除牙齿间的牙斑。多数专家认为,我们还可以通过摄入富含钙及维生素,或是含糖量少的食物以防止牙齿及牙龈疾病的发生。
    科学家们正在继续研发更好的牙齿保健及医疗工具。改进后的技术将来可能会改变人们接受牙科治疗的方法。例如,牙医们目前使用激光来治疗损坏的牙龈和牙齿,他们还使用了计算机技术帮助修复损坏的牙齿。研究人员已经找出了修复支撑牙齿的骨骼的方法。一项遗传研究即将展开,它将会证明口腔内存在造成口腔疾病的细菌。
    不断增长的牙科疾病知识和预防方法改善了许多人的身体状况,但是在某些地方还存在一些问题。在工业化国家,许多少数民族和其他社会群体中存在数量较多的没有得到治疗的牙科疾病。在发展中国家,许多地区甚至没有紧急医疗中心。世界卫生组织声称,非洲人在牙齿和牙周方面存在更多的问题。
    世界卫生组织的专家说,几乎每个国家的牙齿健康状况都不相同,其结果就是每个地方都有各自的口腔保健计划。
    世界卫生组织的口腔保健计划主要是针对那些住在贫困地区的人们。该计划为人们提供有关口腔疾病和保健方面的信息,也研究出了多种预防方法,如在水、盐、牛奶和牙膏中添加氟化物。同时,它也探索了把牙齿健康纳入国家健康保健系统的方法。
    在许多政府和其他组织提供的帮助下,人们能够得到所需的牙齿健康服务。但是牙齿健康专家表示,人们应该好好照顾自己的牙齿和牙龈。
    他们说,人们应当尽量保持牙齿的清洁,并且应该多吃含钙和纤维丰富的食物。包括奶制品、全麦面包及谷类食物、蔬菜、水果、大豆和坚果。近期研究表明,食用坚果能够缓解牙斑的形成。
    专家们认为,这些做法将帮助人们改善牙齿状况,使他们终身受益。

    Passage Two There are about 5,000 different kinds of ladybugs in the world. They come in many different colors. Their bright colors warn other animals or insects not to eat them. Ladybugs taste bad. A bird or a frog that eats a ladybug will remember the bright colors and it will not eat another ladybug with the same colors again. When ladybugs are in danger, they will give out a fluid (液体) that tastes terrible. In many cultures, the ladybug is considered to be a symbol of good luck. Most ladybugs are kind to humans. They eat other insects which destroy crops. One ladybug can eat up to 5,000 insets in its lifetime. Ladybugs have six short legs. They live in many different places, including green lands, forests, cities, the countryside and along rivers. Different ladybugs have different spots (点). Some of them don’t have spots at all. The most common kind in North America is the 7-spotted ladybug. The 7-spotted ladybugs are the most active from spring to autumn. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to sleep, such as under stones or in houses.

  • 第16题:

    B

    For several years,Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now,teleshopping is starting in Europe.ln a number of European countries,people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,food,toys and many others things.

    Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden. For example,the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries,and in one year it made $ 100 million.In France,there are two teleshopping channels,and the French spend $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.

    In Germany,until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour ev-ery day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusi-ness,including teleshopping companies. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.

    Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities,this is an important reason.But at the same time,other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping "just on the air. "Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them,and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

    The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can-t touch or see in person.

    ( )26.In which country people can go teleshopping?

    A. America and all the European countries.

    B. Australia and some European countries.

    C. The USA and many European countries.

    D. America and many developed countries.


    正确答案:C
    26.C【解析】文中一开始就谈到了美国人的几种购物方法·接着谈到了“a number of European countries", “a number of"就相当于“many”,所以选C。

    Germs(细菌)on Banknotes
    People in different countries use different types of money:yuan in China,pesos in Mexico,pounds in the United Kingdom,dollars in the United States,Australia and New Zeal-and. They may use different currencies,but these countries,and probably all countries,still have one thing in______(1):germs on the banknotes.
    Scientists have been studying the germs on money for well over 100 years. At the turn of the 20th______(2),some researchers began to suspect that germs living on money could spread disease.
    Most studies of germy money have looked at the germs on the currency______(3)one country. In a new study,Frank Vriesekoop and other researchers compared the germ populations found on bills of different______(4).
    Vriesekoop is a microbiologist at the University of Ballarat in Australia. He led the stud-y,which compared the germ populations found on money______(5)from 10 nations. The scientists studied 1,280 banknotes in total;all came from places where people buy food,like supermarkets,street vendors and cafes,______(6)those businesses often rely on cash.
    Overall,the Australian dollars hosted the fewest live bacteria一no more than 10 per square centimeter. Chinese yuan had the______(7)about 100 per square centimeter. Most of the germs on money probably would not cause harm.
    What we call“paper money”_________(8)isn't made from paper. The U. S. dollar,for ex- ample,is printed on fabric that is mostly cotton. Different countries may use different______(9)to print their money. Some of the currencies studied by Vriesekoop and his team,such as the American dollar,were made from cotton. Others were made from polymers.
    The three______(10)with the lowest numbers of bacteria were all printed on poly-mers. They included the Australian dollar,the New Zealand dollar and some Mexican pesos.

    7._________
    A: most
    B: smallest
    C: least
    D: latest

    答案:A
    解析:
    前文说了很多不同国家钞票的不同,最后一个转折,肯定是要说相同的地方。in common是固定搭配,意思是相同,共同。故选C项common。
    选century最合理,意为20世纪之交。period(A项), year(B项)或decade (D项)都不合逻辑。故选C项century。
    本段第二句提供了解答本题的线索。Frank Vriesekoop的研究与以前的科学家的研究不同,他比较了各国钱币上的病菌数量,在他之前的科学家的研究范围局限于一个国家的纸币。四个选项中只有within表达“在(一个国家)里”的意思。故选B项within。
    经过第四题选词的思索过程,本题很自然在different之后用countries,指不同的国家。故选A项countries。
    上一句说Vriesekoop比较不同国家纸币携带病菌的数量。本题的句子明确指出他对比的纸币涉及十个国家。四个选项中只有gathered(收集)与上下文的意思相匹配。故选D项gathered。
    填词所在的句子与前面的主句存在因果关系。为什么要从食品店和食品摊收集纸币呢? 因为这些地方常要用现金支付。所以本题答案是A项because。
    上一句中说澳元携带最少的细菌,本句与上一句是相对的,肯定是最多的,选A项most。
    本句的句意是我们所说的纸币其实并不是由纸做的。所选的副词来修饰所说,给的四个选项分别是A项“相似地”;B项“简直不”;C项“轻微地”;D项“通常地”。所以选 D项usually合适。
    本段说纸币的材料一般不是纸,通常是用棉花织物或高分子聚合物制作的。所以C项materials(材料、原料)是正确的。
    前文说了不同国家的纸币携带的细菌数量不同,此处选B项货币最为合适。填入后全句意思就是:含细菌最少的三个国家的纸币……。故选B项c盯rencies。
    the other+名词表示“其他的……”。其他选项从语法上无法与the搭配。此句意为:其他纸币大部分是印在棉织物上的。所以选D项other。
    本句前面两句讲述了细菌在什么样的介质上更容易存活。承接下来的应该是对之前的总结。本句四个选项的含义分别为A项“连接”;B项“参与”;C项“表述”;D项 “估计”。C选项比较合适,填入后句意为:前面的表述说明细菌在聚合物表面不易存活。故选 C项expression。
    科学家要研究细菌如何在纸币上存活。所以本句选how。 if(A项), where(B项), when(D项)都与文意不符。故选C项how。
    on different types of bills(在不同的纸币上)说明是比较关系,所以本句要选compare“比较”。故选B项compare。
    纸币和细菌的关系肯定是纸币携带细菌。“避免”(A项)、“杀死”(B项)和 “选择”(D项)细菌都不正确。所以选C项carries。

    Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50% by 2020

    The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50%by the year
    2020.But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided
    by adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action.
    The World Cancer Report,released by the International Agency for Research on
    Cancer,shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing
    countries as well as rich ones.
    Overall,cancer was responsible for 12%of all deaths in 2000.But in many countries
    more than a quarter of all deaths are caused by cancer.
    The report shows that 1 0 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000,and that
    number is expected to rise to 15 million by 2020.Researchers say most of that increase will
    mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
    current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits.
    "Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the
    first time, matching its effect in industrialized(工业化的)countries , " said researcher Paul
    Kleihues,MD,director of IARC,in a news release."Once considered a'Western'
    disease,the Report highlights that more than 50 percent of the world's cancer burden,in
    terms of both numbers of cases and deaths,already occurs in developing countries."
    The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in less-
    developed ones.However,the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
    countries , where 80% of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors(肿瘤)
    at the time of diagnosis.
    Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due
    to greater exposure to tobacco,occupational carcinogens(致癌物),and an unhealthy
    Western diet and lifestyle.As less-developed countries become industrialized and more
    prosperous,they tend to adopt the high-fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen
    in the West,which increase cancer rates.

    The report says that steps could be taken to reduce about
    A:50% of new cancers.
    B:33% of new cancers.
    C:12% of new cancers.
    D:80% of new cancers.

    录音最后提到很少有美国人乐意找本国同胞的麻烦来让他们偿还信用卡债务或还不起的医药费,因此题干“如今很多美国人的生活都好多了因为他们不用交医疗费了”与录音内容不符。
    【录音原文】
    Thanks to Americans’ seemingly bottomless appetite for more debt, Mr. Ginsberg still predicts employment growth in the debt-collection industry at home—if the agencies can attract new workers. As it happens, few Americans seem to enjoy hassling their compatriots to pay credit-card debts or hospital bills they cannot afford.
