问题 Barack Obama is urging to extend a payroll tax cut because it______.
US President Barack Obama is urging the public to persuade members of Congress to extend a payroll tax cut that saved a typical middle class family about $1 , 000 last year. The tax cut is set to expire on December 31.(24)Obama’s message during his weekly address Saturday comes a day after Americans got news of a drop in the unemployment rate and the creation of 120, 000 private sector jobs last month. The US leader says extending the payroll tax cut would help build on those positive trends. Obama says Congress should not go home for the holidays until legislators extend the payroll tax. He appealed to the public to get the message over to lawmakers.
选项 A、is set to expire on December 31
B、raised the unemployment rate
C、created 120, 000 jobs
D、made middle class families benefit
答案D
解析 本题考查对新闻细节的捕捉。根据句(23)可知，奥巴马之所以呼吁延长削减工资税法案，是因为这一举措能让中产阶级受益不少，同时有助于降低失业率。所以正确答案是D。
