问题     Poverty exists because our society is an unequal one, and there are powerful
political pressures to keep it that way. Any attempt to redistributing wealth and       【S1】______
income in the United States will inevitably be opposed by powerful middle and
upper class interests. People can be relatively rich only if you are relatively poor,   【S2】______
and as power is mainly in the hands of the rich, public policies reflect their
interests than those of the poor. As Mr. Herbert Hans has pointed out, poverty is       【S3】______
actually functional from the point of view of the non-poor. Poverty ensures that
dirty work gets doing. If there were no poor people to scrub floors and empty           【S4】______
bedpans, these jobs will have to be rewarded with high incomes before anyone            【S5】______
would touch them. Poverty creates jobs or many of the non-poor, such as police
officers, welfare workers, and government bureaucrats. Poverty makes life easier
for the rich by providing them with cookers, gardeners, and other workers to            【S6】______
perform basic chores when their employers enjoy more pleasurable activities.            【S7】______
Poverty provides a market for more inferior goods and service, such as day-old          【S8】______
bread, rundown automobiles, or the advice of competent physicians and lawyers.          【S9】______
Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change. It is
just that poverty is an inevitable outcome of the American economic system, in          【S10】______
which the poor are politically powerless to influence or change.
【S6】
选项
答案cookers改为cooks
解析 厨师是cook，而不是cooker。cooker指炊具，与后面的“gardener(园丁)and other workers”不—致，所以应改为厨师(cook)。
