The following text is for questions 11 to 13

March 3, 2019:
A low-cost and free telephone program is available from the federal
government. It is called the Lifeline program.
More than 15 million families are using the program. Cell phones were
included in the program in 2005.
Low-income families get discounts on their phone bills. The first 250 minutes
and 250 text messages are free. This makes it possible for many to have phone
service.
Georgia and other states say there is widespread abuse by some participants in
the Lifeline program. State officials charge many homes are getting more than one
Lifeline phone. Some poor people are no different than some non-poor. If the system
is not regulated, why not get two or three phones?
The program does not do much checking of participants. Georgia wants to
impose a $5 a month charge for the basic service. This can cause a problem for poor
people. They need phones but may not be able to afford them.
Opponents of the $5 fee say if a family can only afford the free phone, they
will be hurt by the $5 monthly charge.
The telephone industry is a strong supporter of the Lifeline program. They
think today’s poor people are the working people of tomorrow. They think it is a good
idea to get them as customers now.
The companies are supposed to decide who is eligible. To be in the program,
people must have incomes below 135 percent of the poverty level. Or be eligible for
another federal program such as food stamps.
 A woman in Oklahoma wanted to see how easy it would be to get a phone.
She waited in line at a tent to see if the vendor would give her a free phone even
though she does not qualify she did.

“Anybody can get them. They say it’s a Lifeline... they’re for needy people.
I’m not needy and I went up and I got one with no ID no proof of income, nothing,”
She said

Policy makers know that some people will try to take advantage of programs.
Their challenge is to discourage abuse. At the same time they do not want to penalize
honest people.
The states and federal governments are proposing new ways to collect
information on Lifeline telephone use.

11. Why would the author mention the woman in Oklahoma?

A. To exemplify the use of the Lifeline program.

B. To emphasize how people love the Life-line program.
C. To show that the selection to become a Lifeline recipient has a loophole.
D. To show the readers that Oklahoma has the highest number of customers.
E. To refuse the argument about the wide-spread abuse of the Lifeline program.
12. What is the most likely mistaken way of the Lifeline program?
A. There is widespread abuse by some government officials in the Lifeline program.
B. The Lifeline program does not check its participants.
C. Many homes get more than one Lifeline phone.
D. Many families refuse to pay $5 a month.
E. The telephone industry pays for the Lifeline program.

13. Many families … to get the benefit of the Lifeline program.

 Many people say that they can’t control themselves when shopping. Once they see
cheap items, they immediately buy them even though in fact, they do not need those items. In
order to avoid this bad habit, we need to have the following attitude. First and the most
significant, let’s create a shopping list before we start shopping. We can use our planner as
guidance. Also, we should check what we already have in our fridge, freezer and store
cupboards so you don’t waste time buying unnecessary items.

Second, we can do grocery shopping online and get them delivery to our home. This
means we won’t have to spend time driving, bagging, scouring the aisles and packing up our
shopping.

save our time. This is where information on our frequently purchased items and previous
shopping lists are stored so that we can reuse them and adapt them as necessary.
