四、阅读理解(共15小题，每题3分，共45分)

根据以下资料，回答试题。

California families are facing a rapidly mounting uphill battle to make enough money to provide basic household essentials, according to a new study conducted by the California Budget Project.

The research compiled by the Sacramento-based non-profit organization concluded an average two-parent family with one employed adult in California needs to make $51,177 a year, or $24.60 cents an hour, to pay for housing, transportation, food, utilities, child care, health coverage, taxes and other basic expenses.

The number grows significantly higher in the Bay Area, the state's most expensive region.A Bay Area family of four with two working adults living in rental housing needs a combined income of $79,946 to cover essential needs.That number is more than four times greater than the $19,157 income level recognized by the federal government as impoverished.

The study is the fourth semi-annual survey conducted by the California Budget Project since 1999. California Budget Project executive director Jean Ross said helping state officials and residents understand the numbers found in the report is crucial to moving families toward self-sufficiency.

"How should we be targeting some of our programs and policies? How much do young people need to earn and what kind of a job should they be looking to train for if they want to have that salary that can support a family?"

CBP said the project was based on actual costs or generally accepted fair standard prices based on weighted averages found in ten California regions.

(3)手机对你的重要性。

答案：LOST

A mobile phone is lost. It is NOKIA 3100, black.

I think I lost it in the library on Monday evening (May 7) when I was walking around to borrow and return books.

It is, in fact, a very old one. But it is a kind of memory of one of my friends who died of cancer three years ago when she was only 22 years old. She's gone but left the mobile phone to me. I keep it and never think of replacing it with new one just because it is from her.

I beg you to call me at 66778899 if you found it somewhere. I am expecting to get my mobile phone back.

Thousand thanks.
