READING

15pt

Choose the single best option:

Cassandra Devine knows how to solve the coming "entitlements" crisis, preordained when the 77

million baby boomers begin hitting 65 in 2011: Pay retirees to kill themselves, a program she calls

"transitioning." Volunteers could receive a lavish vacation beforehand ("a farewell honeymoon"),

courtesy of the government, and their heirs would be spared the estate tax. If only 20 percent of

boomers select suicide before the age of 70, she says, "Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid will be

solvent. End of crisis."

Okay, Devine is a 29-year-old fictional blogger in Christopher Buckley's satirical novel "Boomsday."

Infuriated at the injustices awaiting her generation, she becomes an instant media celebrity with a gift

for incendiary rhetoric. "Someone my age will have to spend their entire life paying unfair taxes, just

so the Boomers can hit the golf course at sixty-two and drink gin and tonics until they're ninety," she

tells one TV reporter. Her plan, once in cyberspace, incites spontaneous uprisings. In Florida, "several

hundred people in their twenties stormed the gates of a retirement community. . . . Residents were

assaulted as they played golf."

A/ how NOT to use the internet

B/ how a silly idea was put into practice

A/ all young people would profit twice

B/ all young people would profit; some of them twice

C/ only some young people would profit

D/ every member of society would profit

3. As regards the incident in Florida, Cassandra ...

A/ can be taken to court

C/ can be linked to its origin

B/ bears direct moral responsibility for it

D/ could have prevented it

4. The idea of the plan is to...

A/ support euthanasia of the elderly

B/ increase government spending to eventually reduce it

C/ impose euthanasia on the elderly

D/ make the retired people share the tax burden
