4.California families are facing a rapidly mounting uphill battle to make enough money to provide basic household essentials, according to a new study conducted by the California Budget Project. 　　The research compiled by the Sacramento-based non-profit organization concluded an average two-parent family with one employed adult in California needs to make $51,177 a year, or $24.60 cents an hour, to pay for housing, transportation, food, utilities, child care, health coverage, taxes and other basic expenses. 　　The number grows significantly higher in the Bay Area, the state's most expensive region．A Bay Area family of four with two working adults living in rental housing needs a combined income of $79,946 to cover essential needs．That number is more than four times greater than the $19,157 income level recognized by the federal government as impoverished. 　　The study is the fourth semi-annual survey conducted by the California Budget Project since 1999． California Budget Project executive director Jean Ross said helping state officials and residents understand the numbers found in the report is crucial to moving families toward self-sufficiency. "How should we be targeting some of our programs and policies? How much do young people need to earn and what kind of a job should they be looking to train for if they want to have that salary that can support a family?" 　　CBP said the project was based on actual costs or generally accepted fair standard prices based on weighted averages found in ten California regions.[单选题] What has this study made people think about?

13.根据以下资料，回答33-36题。 　　Children for whom school has no point 　　Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings, or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all, because of their families' unstable lives. 　　Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all, the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly, once children go to school, we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going. 　　In Britain, the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants' and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school; if they do not meet the target, the grant is withdrawn. 　　Parents are the subject of this campaign, too: the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school, and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets. 　　Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.35 The Ministry of Education will take away a school's grant if__.
