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?

 

1. The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.
2. Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.
3. People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.
4. The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.(C)
5. People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.

能解释一下这句话什么意思吗?

已经工作的人比那些没工作的人更想找一份薪水高的工作。。。

呃……其实我是想说能不能解释一下题目的意思以及怎么得出这个答案的呵呵，谢了

顾风

换句话说，C的意思就是没工作的人只要有一份工作就心满意足了。。。

Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.
    

 原文的结论是没有刺激

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

说明有刺激

所以直接否定

 恩,基本明白了,就是说只有有工作而想换工作的人才会去想追求一份高薪的工作,而没工作的人就不会要求这么高

what???
tend to 是客观存在啊 不是主观色彩～～～
我觉得不是什么想不想，而已因为有了工作才更容易跳槽，所以有经济刺激，所以是否定

说的是unemployed，不是employed

不明白这个题目的意思,C怎么会削弱呢?与结论无关啊

补充一句，你要是想得到高工资的工作，就得从低工资工作做起，谁叫你是unemployee呢
