Britain’s long-term unemployed could be forced to carry out manual work or risk losing their welfare benefits under plans being put forward by the government.
The U. S. -style scheme would see the long-term jobless ordered to take up four-week placements in order to get them used to having a full-time job.
The idea is part of major reforms, due to be unveiled this week, to make cuts to Britain’s huge welfare bill, reduce dependency on benefits and weed out those earning money but not declaring it, papers said.
“What we are talking about here is people who have not been used to working having both the opportunity and perhaps a bit more of a push as well, to experience the workplace from time to time. The vast majority of people in Britain will think that is the right thing to do. ”Foreign Secretary William Hague told BBC TV.
Shortly after the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Union took power in May, Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith unveiled plans to simplify the complex web of benefits available to reduce errors and inefficiencies.
Duncan Smith said the system had become regressive and was not giving people the right encouragement to work as many were financially better off unemployed.
Under his plans, separate benefits for items such as housing, income support or disability will be replaced by a“universal credit”system whereby(靠那个)individual households would get a single welfare payment to ensure those in work would be better off.
The Observer newspaper said that in return, long-term unemployed would be told to take up work placements of at least 30 hours a week for a four-week period.
If they refuse or fail to complete the programme, their jobseekers’ allowance, worth 64. 30 pounds a week for those over 25, could be stopped for at least three months.
【文章大意】由于英国的福利过高, 再加上近年来的经济危机造成的高失业率, 越来越多的英国人不愿再去劳心费劲地工作, 干脆赖在家里向政府伸手要钱。当局为了削减养“好逸恶劳者”的经费, 出台强制性劳动方案, 要求失业的人从事劳力工作, 以此督促他们乐观查找工作。
1. What will the unemployed with welfare benefits face if the major reform takes effect?
A. They will lose their welfare benefits if they don’t work.
B. They will be encouraged to buy their own farms.
C. They will do some kinds of jobs.
D. Either A or C.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。第一段第一句话的carry out manual work or risk losing their welfare benefits说明在新政下“懒汉”们面临的两种选择。
2. What will most British people think of the new reform according to William Hague?
A. They are against it since the unemployed are poor.
B. They are for it since the unemployed should keep fit.
C. They are for it since it’s unfair for the employed and unemployed.
D. They don’t care as there’re a few unemployed people having welfare benefits.
【解析】选C。推理推断题。第四段中The vast majority of people in Britain will think that is the right thing to do. 说明绝大多数英国人支持新政。
4. The underlined word in Paragraph 6 most likely means .
A. well-received B. far-reaching
C. old-fashioned D. live-and-let-live
【解析】选C。词义猜想题。从该词所在句的was not giving people the right encouragement to work可知即将取消的措施就要过时了。
4. What is the aim of Britain’s major reform for the long-term unemployed?
A. To reduce the cost of welfare bill with healthy economy system.
B. To make them healthier and save cost in medical care.
C. To help more people go through financial crisis.
D. To increase pay and bonus for those employed.
【解析】选A。主旨大意题。第三段的to make cuts to Britain’s huge welfare bill是直接目的, 最终的目的还是要建立合理健康的福利制度体系。
