Text 3 According to the old saw,anyone who wishes to maintain respect for sausages and laws should not see how either are made.Congress has just finished validating that saying by engaging in the sorry every-five-years exercise known as drafting a farm bill.This mess of subsidies and regulations claims to protect U.S.agriculture,not just from the vagaries of pests,crop diseases and weather but also from the ups and downs of the free market itself.Inevitably,the farm bill showers benefits on well-to-do business owners who don't need or deserve taxpayer help under the cover of deliberately obscure terms such as"federal milk marketing orders".It's true that farm income has dropped in each of the past four years because of falling commodity prices,but Congress showered agribusiness with taxpayer largesse when incomes reached all-time highs a half-decade ago,too.Clumsy manipulation by government probably exacerbates market swings.Where is it written that this one sector deserves federally guaranteed profitability'?You will hear a Iot about the need for food security,but it's mostly nonsense:A mere 6.3 percent of Americans'consumer expenditures were on food consumed at home in 2016,according to the Agriculture Department.This was easily the lowest percentage in the world,as it has been for many years.Even in the wildly unlikely event it doubled,we'd still be better off than developed countries such as Sweden and France.If Congress really wanted to help farmers,it would do something to stop President Trump's trade war,which has provoked retaliatory tarif{s by many countries against U.S.farm exports.This year's process has introduced a new level of ugliness to this inherently unlovely law.The House version of the farm bill,passed with Republican votes only,would add a work requirement to the government's largest food aid program for the poor,the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,or SNAP.Helping poor people buy groceries is the main way the farm bill actually enhances food security;for decades,linking SNAP to farm subsidies in a single bill has been the price of urban lawmakers'support for rural corporate welfare.Mr.Trump applauded the measure,which would make most adult SNAP recipients（up to 7 million people）spend 20 hours per week either working or participating in a state-run training program as a condition of receiving benefits,which at present average$125 per month to 42.3 million Americans.Democratic representatives,mostly from urban America,and several Republicans,too,recoiled.Correctly,they cited the bill's insufficient funding for training programs,as well as the added paperwork and administrative burden.They might also have noted the bill's juxtaposition of tougher eligibility criteria for the poor with continued sugar price supports for agribusinesses in the South and Midwest.A large bipartisan majority of the Senate rejected the work requirement,which may mean that it can't survive the conference committee.The mere fact that it has gotten this far,however,tells you something about farm-bill politics in general and the priorities of the Republican House in particular.The old saw is cited to introduce a bill that____.A.can improve the free market
B.aims to reform farm subsidies
C.is made public too soon
D.has too many drawbacks

The government is under renewed pressure to implement a"radical rethink"of apprenticeships after a near 27%fall in the number taking up trainee posts in the last quarter of 2017.The number starting apprenticeships dropped t0 114,000 between August and October,down from 155,700 in the same period in 2016.That followed a 59%drop in the prevrous three months after the introduction of the apprenticeship levy in April last year.Critics say employers are being deterred from creating apprenticeship posts because of the increased costs and complexity of the new scheme.Businesses with a payroll of more than￡3m are charged 0.s%of their payroll towards the apprenticeship levy.A fifth of training must be carried out away from the workplace and employers with 50 0r more staff must contribute 10%of the cost.Seamus Nevin,head of policy research at the Institute of Directors（IoD）,said the government risked failing to meet its target of 3 million people starting apprenticeships by 2020."Clearly the new system has failed to take off,"he said."The levy can be difficult to navigate and many employers still struggle to comprehend how the system is meant to work."Fhe IoD said more than one in 10 0f its mostly smaller company members paying the levy now viewed it as an extra tax and could no longer afford to offer any apprenticeships.The government is no longer fully funding apprenticeships,particularly for young people.The cuts have been heavily criticised.Mark Dawe of the Association of Employment and Learning Providers said:"For a government committed to improving social mobility,ministers have to be really concerned about the continued drop in starts for both young people and at lower levels."Verity Davidge,head of education and skills policy at EEF,the manufacturers'organisation,said:"Today's figures should act as a wake-up call to government which has failed to act on industry's growing concerns around the apprenticeship levy.This worrying trend is not just hampering employers'ability to get the skills their business needs,it is taking away invaluable opportunities for the next generation to undertake training and secure a future job.It is clear the apprenticeship levy and wider reforms aren't working and need a radical rethink."Neil Carberry,managing director of people policy at the CBI,said it wanted the levy to evolve into a"flexible skills levy"that would fund a broader array of training courses."Today's drop in apprenticeship starts remains alarming and proves again that the apprenticeship levy isn't yet working for businesses,apprentices and the economy.A fresh approach is needed to make skills reforms work,"he said.Anne Milton,the minister for apprenticeships and skills,said:"The last year has been a period of significant change.It will take time for employers to adjust.But we must not lose sight of why we introduced our reforms in the first place-to put quality at the heart of this programme,and put control in the hands of employers."Workers'rights groups have suggested that the number of apprenticeship starts is falling because the levy is weeding out the use of low-quality apprenticeships.They believe employers were offering minimal training as a way to source cheap labour,because the minimum wage for apprentices is below the national minimum wage.The Unite union has raised concerns about the lowesi grade of apprenticeships and whether they are beneficial.
Anne MiltonA.worried that the fall in apprenticeships would be unfavourable to the next generation.
B.emphasized that the apprenticeship levy was designed to increase the quality of apprenticeships and place control in employers hands.
C.said that the apprenticeship levy was too high for most companles to pay.
D.pointed out that the apprenticeship levy did not work well and would deter the government from hitting its 2020 apprenticeship target
E.believed that apprentices were being treated as cheap labour and not getting quality training on the job.
F.indicated that increased levy flexibility was vital for businesses to fund a wider range of training.
G.held that apprenticeships for young people and at lower levels would be an engine of social mobility
