Q10:TTGWD11-Q30:

Editorial: In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance.  To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply.  However, the supplement will not raise any worker’s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed.  Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.

Which of the following, if true about Ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial?

A.      The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.

B.      Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.

C.      People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.

D.      The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.

E.       People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.

我刚开始选的A，后来虽然觉得C是正确的单还是想问问A，如果改成[bgcolor=#ffff00]employed individuals and their families.是不是就可以选了？[/bgcolor]

理解为：如果这些人去工作，虽然他们收入不会曾加但却可以减少他们家人的税收，所以也是有利益刺激的？

谢谢各位~~

E选项应该是无关吧，文章说的是是否financial incentive,而选项说的是是否enjoy工作

Catherine0301

E选项应该跟原文无关吧，文章说的是有没有financial incentive,而不是enjoy不enjoy工作···

我觉得Ｄ根本就是无关选项。。因为原文讨论的是没有工作只领取社保金的人和有工作但是工资低于社保金，然后补助到社保金水平的人，这两者之间的比较，与社保金有没有到达poverty　lelvel直接联系。。。

我开始也选的D    但是想了想C还是好些
请注意Therefore前面的那句话，也就是注意这个结论是怎么推出来的
However, the supplement will not raise any worker’s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed.  Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.  
这两句话翻译过来应该是怎样的：可是，如果失业的人无法找到有足够收入的工作的话，这笔工作收入加上政府给的工作补助还不如先前的救助金高。因此，面对着这样的补助，失业的人找不到能够趋势他们去找工作的financial incentive

也就是说，条件中是在将找了工作但是收入没有提高的人与没有工作的人作比较，从而得出了后面的结论
C.People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.  也就是说有了工作的人可以找一个新工作从而获得比没工作的人更高的收入，刚好是条件中给出的情况的weken
D.The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level. 这个选项确实也很像正确答案，但是有一个问题，就是这个poverty level贫困水平  我觉得贫困水平跟工资的最低标准还是两个概念吧，如果说这个选项说的是失业人员的收入低于最低工资标准，那就非常好的提供了一个incentive   也就weaken了   但是这里说的是poverty level    失业的人领的救助金很低导致生活在贫困水平之下是很正常的事情啊，现实状况也大都是如此的，不能作为incentive的依据吧

个人感觉这题的financial incentive是key words
open to discuss

我爱SAAB

同意LS黑猫的，D比C更直接吧！

C是必须先去找了工作才能再跳槽啊，问题是怎么知道就一定想跳槽呢，怎么就一定能跳到高的paid的工作呢，问题是这些不工作的人连第一次去找工作的incentive都没有啊

D直接说了政府给的补助也在贫苦线以下，那当然有incentive去找工作了啊

jbc88

我觉得D比C直接多了。

很多同学说C中的人跳槽。。这完全是进一步推断。你怎么知道他会跳槽呢？

D则不同，D说 那些拿救济金的没工作的人在贫困线以下。即为他们已经食不果腹了！ 那么他们必须去工作！


请大家反驳！

连箭

a，无关吧，就是勉强拉上点关系，逻辑链也太长了
c，指的是工作过了就能再找工作，工资就能高一点，相当于增加work experience
e 挺tricky的，要是不看楼主答案第一眼我想会选这个，仔细看有个financial incentive
