Question

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 　　Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants, nurses．Sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs．Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbors． 　　Many of these wage earners return in the end．In the meantime, they send home huge amounts of money－in the Philippines’ case, over 10％ of its GDP．Between January and November, the amount was up 18％ on the same period of 2005．Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labor-exporting countries．They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars．As for those Asian countries that import labor, as in Europe, falling birth rates mean that they are going to need more foreign workers． 　　On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN)singed an agreement to help migrant(流动的)workers－with the realization that the flow of labor between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders．A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries, but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers．So the true total is probably rather higher． 　　Of the ten ASEAN countries, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos export labor, Singapore and Brunei import it, and Thailand and Malaysia do both．Sziraczki of the UN's International Labor Organization points out that, in the next ten years, the total labor force of the worker exporting countries should grow by about a third．It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control． 　　People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition of their jobs．Most Thais said their government should admit no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise．Even in Singapore, just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers．Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates． (1) It can be inferred from the case of Philippines that ________． [　　] A． the country is Asia's main source of migrant workers B． labor exports led to a 10％ growth of its GDP C． the outflow of labor helps solve its social problems D． the country both exports and imports labor force (2) Which of the following countries doesn't import foreign workers? [　　] A． Singapore B． Thailand C． Indonesia D． Brunei (3) For the labor-importing countries, the flow of labor may lead to ________． [　　] A． higher birth rates B． lower crime rates C． greater money inflows D． stronger job competition (4) The writer of the text seems to________． [　　] A． support the flow of labor between countries B． report fairly on the question of labor flow C． express his worries over the ASEAN's decision D． regard the outflow of labor as a serious problem
