A hundred years ago it was assumed and scientifically "proved" by economists that the laws of society make it necessary to have a vast army of poor and jobless people in order to keep the economy going. today, hardly anybody would dare to voice the principle. It is generally accepted that nobody should be excluded from the wealth of the nation, either by the law of nature or by those of society. The opinions are outdated, which were current a hundred years ago, that the poor owed their conditions to their ignorance, lack of responsibility. In all western industrialized countries, a system of insurance has been introduced which guarantees everyone a minimum of subsistence in case of unemployment, sickness and old age. I would go one step further and argue that, even if these conditions are not present, in other words, one can claim this substance minimum without having to have any "reason". I would suggest, however, that it should be limited to a definite period of time, let’s say two years, so as to avoid the encouragement of an abnormal attitude which refuses any kind of social obligation. This may sound like a fantastic proposal, but so, I think, our insurance system would have sounded to people a hundred years ago. The main objection to such a scheme would be that if each person were entitled to receive minimum support, people would not work. This assumption rests on the fallacy of the inherent laziness. In human nature, actually, aside from abnormally lazy people, there would be very few who would not want to earn more than the minimum, and who would prefer to do nothing rather than work. However, the suspicions against a system of guaranteed subsistence minimum are not groundless from the standpoint of those who want to use ownership capital for the purpose of forcing others to accept the work conditions they offer. If nobody were forced to accept work in order not to starve, work would be sufficiently interesting and attractive in order to induce one to accept it. Freedom of contract is possible only if both parties are free to accept and reject if; in the present capitalist system this is not the case. But such a system would not only be the beginning of real freedom of contract between employers and employees, its principal advantage would be the improvement of freedom in interpersonal relationships in every sphere of daily life. People used to think that poverty and unemployment were due to ______ .

A. the slow development of the economy
B. the poor and jobless people’s own faults
C. the lack of responsibility on the part of the society
D. the large number of people who were not well-educated

简述实际工作中燃助比的选择。

In her 26 years of teaching English, Shannon McGuire has seen countless misplaced commas, misspelled words and sentence fragments. But the instructor at US’s Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge said her job is getting harder every day. "I kid you not, the number of errors that I’ve seen in the past few years have multiplied five times," she said. Experts say email and instant messaging are at least partly to blame for an increasing indifference toward the rules of grammar, spelling and sentence structure. They say the problem is most noticeable in college students and recently graduates. "They used to at least feel guilty (about mistakes)," said Naomi Baron, professor of linguistics at American University in Washington, D. C. "They didn’t necessarily write a little better, but at least they felt guilty." Ironically, Baron’s latest book, "Alphabet to Email: How Written English Evolved and Where It’s Heading," became a victim of sloppy proofreading. The book’s title is capitalized differently on the cover, spine and title page. "People used to lose their jobs over this," she said. "And now they just say ’whatever’." "Whatever" describes Jeanette Henderson’s attitude toward writing. The sophomore at the University of Louisiana at Monroe admits that her reliance on spellcheck has hurt her grades in English class. "Computer has spoiled us," she said. But the family and consumer sciences major believes her future bosses won’t mind the mistakes as much as her professor does. "They’re not going to check semicolons, commas and stuff like that," Henderson said. LSU’s McGuire said she teaches her students to use distinct writing styles that fit their purpose. She emphasizes that there’s the informal language of an email to a friend, but there’s also the well thought out and structured academic or professional style of writing. It’s not just email and instant messaging that are contributing to slack writing habits. Society as a whole is becoming more informal. Casual wear at work used to be reserved for Friday, for example, but is now commonplace at most offices. There’s also a greater emphasis on youth culture, and youth tend to use instant messaging more than adults do. English language has been neglected at different points in history but always rebounds. During Shakespearen times, for example, spelling wasn’t considered important, and early publishers rarely proofread. There will likely be a social force that recognizes the need for clear writing and swings the pendulum back. According to Shannon McGuire, what is making her job harder than before

A. More and more students ask her to teach how to write instant messages.
B. More and more structural errors are seen in her students’ writings.
C. Students are becoming increasingly indifferent to learning English.
D. Parents are more demanding as to the teaching content of the school.
