5 次の英文はある新聞の社説です。これを読んで，下の設問に答えなさい。
It is the opinion of the editorial board* that the social safety net, the services provided by thegovernment for people in need, is in urgent need of repair. Millions of citizens are not receiving
the assistance they need, and the problem is getting worse as the economy struggles to provide
enough high-quality jobs. A few important programs are severely underfunded or in need oflarge-scale reform. We urge the government to act ⑴ immediately to reform the following two
programs: unemployment insurance and social security.
Currently,⑵ unemployed people who are looking for a job are entitled to receive ⑶ only

$300 per week, for up to 26 weeks. That is insufficient.

⑷ Rent in this city averages $1,200

per month. Current benefits* may be enough to pay the rent, but not enough to pay for othernecessities, like food, healthcare, and transportation. Moreover, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
has found that unemployed workers need much more than 26 weeks to find a new job in thecurrent employment environment. Workers are unemployed for an average of 38 weeks before
they are able to find work. We urge the government to increase benefits to $500 per week, andextend eligibility* to 42 weeks.
Our social security system was designed to provide a stable⑸ income for retired people.

These people have paid into the system throughout their careers. When they retire, theydeserve to receive benefits sufficient to ensure their economic well-being for the rest of theirlives. But the current system is ⑹ coming up short in two important ways. First, people areliving longer than they did 70 years ago when the program began. At that time, a person wasexpected to live 10 to 15 years after they retire. But now, because of medical and technologicalimprovements, most people can expect to live 20 to 25 years after they retire. The government
needs to increase funding to the system to keep up with ⑺ this change. Second, benefits havenot kept up with the cost of living. The average retiree* receives only $1,500 per month in cash
benefits, but the Social Security Administration* has found that most retirees cannot live on thatamount. （8）, many retirees are forced to return to the workforce, often accepting low-wagejobs that are too physically demanding for people their age. We believe that the government
should increase average monthly benefits to $2,000, ensuring a better quality of life for all
retirees.
These solutions will be expensive, but we believe the benefits to society ⑼ outweigh thecosts.

retiree: 定年退職者

benefits: 給付金

eligibility:（受給）資格
