Last month.we wrote about A11an sheahen,author of a book 0n the Basic Income Guarantee (BIG)——a plan to have the federal government guarantee a“basic income”to every adult U.S.citizen,ensuring that every one of them has at least enough money to live on-by handing it out,in cash,to every citzen,no questions asked.Such a law,supporters argue,would eliminate poverty at the stroke of a pen.It would simplify America’s social safety net,replacing it with a single blanket guarantee that everyone gets enough money to pay for their most basic needs.
Sound too good to be true?It may soon happen--in Switzerlan.As Reuters reports,last month the Swiss government received a petition(请愿书)signed by more than 100,000 citizens,calling for a nationwide voting to establish a basic income gurantee.Specifically,the proposal would pay every aduh citizen$2,800 per month,or about 42 percent of the average income per person in Switzerland.That’s even more generous than what BIG supporters here suggest.A U.S.BIG would work out to about$1,750 per month.
Critics naturally warn that giving people money regardless of whether they work or no.t may result in-spoiler alert!-wpeople choosing not to work.That’s one risk the Swiss will have to decide whether they want to take.But it may not be a huge risk they’re taking.Studies suggest that most people like to do something useful with their lives,and will continue to work even if they don’t need to.
Trial runs of BIG.1ike programs,conducted here in the U.S.in the 1960s and 1970s,showed a drop of only 1 percent in hours worked in at least one sample population-despite workers having that baseline income guaranteed whether they worked or not.
In general,working mothers were the group found most likely(upwards of 7 percent)to cut back on work after receiving a BIG grant.But even there,studies showed that most of the women spending less time at the office did so not because they were lazy,but because they wanted to work somewhere else——at home.raising their kids.
We can infer that the author of the passage thinks that BIG______.
选项
A、is very risky as people are lazy by nature
B、won’t be a huge risk under surveillance
C、will be Success with people’s work ethic
D、will do harm to social development
答案
C
解析
文章最后两段大意为:即使美国在20世纪六七十年代尝试施行了BIG计划,工作时长也只降减少1%,并且虽然妇女的工作时长减少了7%。但是她们不是因为懒惰而减少工作时长,而是因为想要在家养育孩子。由此可以判断,根据人们的工作理念,该计划会成功。故C项为正确答案。
