Getting a job can be especially difficult for someone with a prison record. So a prison training program in the American Northwest prepares women to start their own businesses.
The program is called Lifelong Information for Entrepreneurs (企业家), or LIFE. The training combines business and social skills. The women learn how to manage their time, set goals and settle conflicts peacefully.
Saresa Whitley is serving five years for attack at a women’s prison in Oregon. She has a job waiting for her when she is released in January. But she also plans to start a small business with the knowledge gained from the months of class. She said; "When I was talking about knowing if my business is viable or not, through a profit-and-loss model, I was like ’ Wow, I didn’t even know the word viable before, and now I do. ’ I’ve learned a lot, I’ve learned a lot about how to write a business plan, about effective communications skills, how to listen, something I didn’t know how to do before. "
Cynthia Thompson is serving time for stealing someone’s identity. She says the lessons learned in the program are important not just for the inmates (同狱犯人) but also the communities they will re-enter. "I think the goal of it is to produce people that are being part of the community, paying their taxes and being volunteers. Not just necessarily successful small businesses, but just successful, accountable people in the community."
MercyCorps Northwest started the training program four years ago. MercyCorps is an international development organization. Doug Cooper is assistant director of MercyCorps Northwest. Doug Cooper says " We were looking for ways that we could apply our expertise around economic development and small business management to populations that could use it. It’s identical to what we do internationally, except we apply it here in Oregon and Washington. "
MercyCorps Northwest has just started a LIFE program at a women’s prison in Washington state. Doug Cooper hopes the idea will spread to prisons throughout the country. The group says just three of the one hundred graduates of its training program have returned to prison. Graduates of the LIFE program have started businesses like cutting hair and selling goods at farmers markets.
We can infer from the passage that the LIFE program______.
选项
A、is a new project created by MercyCorps Northwest
B、will soon spread to prisons throughout the country
C、has good effect on changing people’s behaviors
D、helped its graduates win big successes in their business
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。根据原文“该组织表示,从该培训项目毕业的人当中只有3人再次入狱”,可推断出该培训项目使人们行为变得规范。即对人们的行为产生好的影响,C)含义与之吻合,故为答案。原文指出美慈西北于四年前开办了该项目,故排除A);该项目传播到全国各地的监狱是道格·库珀的一个希望,并不能说明该项目将要在世界范围内传播,故排除B);原文指出该项目的毕业生开始做小生意,但无法判断她们的生意是否是成功的,故排除D)。
