What’s more, helping these men and women find jobs would also save taxpayers a lot of money. Few prisoners would save governments millions or possibly even billions of dollars annually: the costs of building and operating jails.

　　There are many things that the government can do to help ex-prisoners find work. More job training programs should be introduced to provide prisoners with work skills before they are freed. Companies and factories should also be given tax benefits if they employ ex-prisoners. Such programs have been shown to work in several countries.

　　Such policies of course assure that freed criminals actually want to work. But shouldn’t they be given the chance? Our goal, after all, shouldn’t be to incarcerate as many prisoners as possible, but to build a society that doesn’t need to put such a large percentage of its population in jail. We should take a step in that direction and help prisoners find self-respect and purpose through work.

　　What percentage of freed prisoners returns to prison within three years?

　　A. 65%

　　B. 50%

　　C. 33%

　　D. 25%

　　Which of the following best describes the content of the fifth paragraph?

　　Facts

　　B. Arguments

　　C. Recommendations

　　D. Requirements

　　What does the underlined word “incarcerate” in the last paragraph?
