VIII. Read the following passage and decide if the statements below are True (T) or False (F) (10 points) 5
Working families in two towns in Germany will get government help with the
housework. The towns are in the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The government
decided to test a new project to help people, especially women, who work overtime. The
plan is to give vouchers to employees who work extra hours. The employees can use the
vouchers to get help with the housework, such as cleaning, laundry, ironing, vacuuming
and dusting. The idea behind the project is to help support family life and to reduce the
shadow economy. The shadow economy is when people pay for goods and services in cash
but do not pay tax on them. This means the government loses a lot of money.
Government spokesman Christian Rauch explained more about the project. He said: "Our
experience shows that well-qualified women work fewer hours than they would like
because they want to carry out household duties in addition to family responsibilities. If
these women increase their working hours by five to ten hours and receive a voucher from
us, they can afford quality help with the housework." He added that the new system would
also create more jobs for people in the household-help industry and create more tax for the
government. Another spokesman, Dr. Ralf Kleindiek, said: "With professional help in the
home, it is easier to balance work and family life."
1. Families all across Germany will get government help with housework.
2. The shadow economy helps the government to get more money.
3. Women need to work an extra five to ten hours to get a voucher.
4. The new system will help to create more jobs.
5. A spokesman said the project will help to balance work and family life. Write your answers here: 1 …………….. 2........................ 3......................... 4........................ 5.....................
IX. Fill in each blank with ONE appropriate word to make a meaningful passage. (20 points)
