While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states—at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than two million people have left the rolls since 1994.
In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $ 6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent— twice the national average.
For advocates (代言人) for the poor, that’s an indication that much more needs to be done.
"More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better," says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.
A center analysis of U.S. Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.
But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.
"Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin (毒素) that was poisoning the family," says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. "The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic (工作道德), which is much more important. "
Mr. Rector and others argued that once "the habit of dependency is cracked," then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards. (286 words)
From the passage, it can be seen that the author______.
选项
A、believes the reform has reduced the government’s burden
B、insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor
C、is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reform
D、considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful
答案
D
解析
本题属于综合推断题。从文中第一段里我们可看出福利制度改革在很多州至少在让人们摆脱福利的制度方面是一个巨大成功。然后在第六段作者又说贫穷的人在没有政府资助下能够自食其力本身就是个了不起的胜利,最后在第七段作者又谈到福利制度改革对改善人们道德观的影响更是不可小看。
