任务型阅读 Help Migrant Workers     There is nothing like going home. More so if it is for the Spring Festival family reunion. For a migrant worker it perhaps means even more. To be able to set out on a homeward journey with money from a year's toil in his pocket is the best thing he can think of.  They had to press hard for their defaulted payments, the salaries that were failed to pay up.     About 200 million migrant workers nationwide are something left behind by economic reforms and opening up due to their contributions in the past three decades. It is almost impossible to imagine life in these places without them. However, they still form a disadvantaged group. Their rights are violated in different forms. Among other things, unpaid salaries are the most painful of such violations that are likely to drive a migrant worker to desperate actions.     They have taken measures to prevent employers from holding back payments to them. Yet, as the financial crisis bites deep, some small enterprises that are struck the most try to reduce their economic losses by laying off migrant workers or refusing to pay them. So it is particularly important for governments at all levels to do an even better job in helping villager-turned-workers recover their unpaid salaries before the Spring Festival.     It is good news that quite a number of local governments have organized special taskforces to conduct inspections in those labor-intensive enterprises to make sure they have paid their migrant workers in a timely and fair manner. Construction commissions in almost all provinces have published hotlines for farmer-turned-construction workers to lodge complaints against their employers for withholding their salaries.   But we need to look for solutions that will work at all times. We need to put in place a mechanism that will effectively prevent employers from holding back salaries to workers. A. Some have reportedly climbed up chimneys to jump to their death unless they get their defaulted salaries. B. It is something every Chinese look forward to as the traditional gala draws near. C. Unfortunately, weeks preceding the Spring Festival have turned out to be hard times for migrant workers. D. Hopefully, these efforts will send more workers on a happy journey home for the Spring Festival with their salaries in their pockets. E. However difficult the situations they are in, it is too cruel and unfair for employers to hold back salaries they should pay their migrant workers. F. Objectively speaking, governments at various levels have done a great deal in helping these workers recover their defaulted salaries. 答案:【1】C【2】A【3】F【4】D
