According to Xinhua News Agency, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service announced 100 "new questions" on the 27th. This is the first revision of the exam since the implementation of 1986. Among them, "Who shouted' Give me liberty or give me death'?" "Who is the author of The House of Warriors under the Stars and Stripes?" And other problems will not appear in the future American naturalization exam.

The report shows that half of the 100 topics are newly added "brand-new" topics, and the other half are revised versions of existing "old topics".

According to reports, the new topic aims to let immigrants know about epoch-making events in American history, so the focus is different from the "old topic", and more attention is paid to examining basic conceptual knowledge about American history, geography and government structure. For example, the questions about17th century Puritans immigrating to the United States decreased, but questions like "What did Martin Luther King do?" In this way, there are more topics related to the content of the black civil rights movement in the United States.

Among the new questions, such as "What was the' major event' that happened on September 1 2006?" "Who is the Speaker of the US House of Representatives?" Wait for questions.

Alfonso Aguilar, a senior official of the Citizenship and Immigration Bureau, said that this topic has achieved good results during the four-month "probation period" this year. Among more than 6,000 people who volunteered to take the naturalization test, the one-time pass rate reached 92.4%, which was higher than the existing test of 84%.

However, he also said that the improvement of the pass rate is not because the difficulty of the new topic is reduced, but because the candidates have conducted targeted learning in advance. He said that there are many rote questions in the current exam, but it is difficult to cope with the new exam by rote, and candidates need to do other "homework".

He also said that although the topic has been adjusted, the overall examination mode will not change. In the "one-on-one" oral test, the immigration officer will randomly select 10 questions with different difficulties from 100 new questions. Candidates can pass the test by answering 6 questions correctly.

EU plans to launch "Blue Card"

Attract foreign technical talents

According to Xinhua News Agency, frattini, Vice President of the European Commission, suggested on 26th that the "European Blue Card System" should be implemented within the EU to attract technical talents from other countries, so as to solve the labor shortage caused by the aging population in the EU.

Frattini said that the "blue card" will be a special residence permit for skilled workers from other countries, just like the "green card" in the United States. Holders of this card will be allowed to live and work in an EU member state for two years, and can work in other EU countries after renewal, instead of applying for a local work permit every time they go to a country. The "blue card" ensures that foreign skilled workers enjoy the same treatment as locals at work.

Frattini said that the EU should regard immigration as a "wealth" rather than a "threat". The purpose of implementing the "blue card" is to attract about 20 million skilled workers from abroad to cope with the increasingly severe population crisis in EU countries. The phenomenon of aging population in Europe is becoming more and more serious, and the labor force is becoming more and more short. It is predicted that by 2050, every two skilled workers will support a retiree, but now the situation is that every four skilled workers will support a retiree.
