阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  They start handing out the free food at 9:00 a.m., but the queue starts forming hours earlier. By dawn, there is a line of cars stretching for about one kilometer. This is the closest thing to a traffic jam that the small city of Logan, Ohio, and many other places in the United States have a traffic jam driven by poverty (贫穷) and hunger.

  Outside, the US is regarded as the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world, but back home it is being eaten away from the inside by persistent (持续的) and rising poverty.

  About 3 million Americans have lost their jobs since George W. Bush took office in January 2001 and have yet to find new work in a largely jobless economic recovery. There is not much left to keep them from falling further.

  Last year alone, another 1.7 million Americans slipped below the poverty line.

  That brought the total to 34.6 million, or one in eight of the population. More than 13 million of them are children.

  In fact, the US has the worst child poverty rate and the worst life expectancy of all the world's industrialized countries. And the conditions of its poverty are worsening.

  Two years ago, about 31 million Americans were considered“food insecure”(they did not know where their next meal was coming from). Of those, more than 9 million were said by the Agriculture Department to be experiencing real hunger.

  And that was before the recession (经济的衰退期) really began to hit.

  Partial surveys suggest the problem has got considerably worse since then. In 25 major cities, the need for emergency food rose to an average of 19 percent last year.

1.From the first paragraph we can know that _____.

[  ]

A.everyone in America need get free food

B.free food is offered to drivers everywhere in America

C.hunger is a big problem in America

D.people have to use cars even to get enough food

2.More American people are becoming poor because _____.

[  ]

A.they don't love their President

B.they don't like their jobs

C.they can't get enough jobs to do

D.they spend too much on their cars

3.The author's feeling towards the situation of poverty in the USA is _____.

[  ]

A.angry       B.puzzled

C.worried      D.nervous
