Estimating the overall effect of this influx of enthusiastic low-cost labor is hard, although a recent study by Ernst & Young, an accountancy fine, suggested that without it Britain's GDP would be 0.2% lower. In fact, nobody knows how many workers from what were once called captive nations are actually in Britain. The government's official (but voluntary) worker registration scheme records 345,000 since Britain opened its labor market to such workers in 2004.
But, notes Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah of the Institute for Public Policy Research, a think tank, this disguises "huge chum". Workers may register and then leave the country. Others may not register at all. It costs pounds 70, and the advantages it offers, such as the right to claim the dole in future, may seem flimsy. It is the prospect of work, not state benefits, that attracts east Europeans to Britain.
Four other west European countries Spain, Portugal, Finland and Greece opened their labor markets on May 1st to workers from the new Europe, while France promises partial liberalization and Holland is thinking about it. But that will do little to dent Britain's lead. A widely-spoken language and thriving networks incorporating previous immigrants still make Britain a prime destination, with Ireland close behind.
Does continuing the hit00-or-miss registration scheme make sense？ The government considered scrapping it altogether on May 1st, but decided not to. One reason is that some existing formalities could come in handy if, as seems likely, the EU expands on January 1st 2007 to include Romania and Bulgaria. It has not yet been decided whether workers from these two countries, which will be the poorest in the EU, should be given free access to Britain's job market. Mr. Sriskandarajah's institute reckons that, if allowed, 41,000 workers are likely to come from Romania and 15,000 from Bulgaria. The government could scrap the registration scheme for Poles and the like, while keeping it for the newcomers.
The registration scheme may produce misleading figures, and it is a curious use of official time and energy at a moment when bureaucrats are too busy to deport foreign rapists. But it is a sop to public opinion, which is twitchy about Britain's increasingly open borders.

听力原文： Most people know what a hot dog is. It' s a sausage in a roll. But do you know why it' s called a hot dog？ Well, the long red sausage, which goes into a hot dog, is called Frankfurter. It got its name from the German town Frankfurt. The sausages were very popular, but hot Frankfurters were difficult to sell in crowds. One man, Harry Stevens, had a job of feeding the crowds in baseball games. He had an idea. Why not put the Frankfurters in long hot bread rolls？ This made them easy to sell. The red hearts had a hot and attractive taste, and became very popular. But in 1903, an American cartoonist drew a long German sausage dog in place of the Frankfurter, so a Frankfurter in a roll soon became known as a hot dog. It was a joke, but some people really thought the sausages contained dog meat. For a while, sales of hot dogs fell, but not for long.
