20、re state. Millions of Britons are entangled in means-tested tax credits, housing benefits and entitlements for the jobless that can make it unprofitable to work. The past decade saw massive job creation. But almost 1.4m people spent nine of the past ten years on out-of-work benefits, as lain Duncan
21、Smith, the Conservative work and pensions secretary, noted. Mr. Duncan Smith - a man of unusually public religious faith by British standardsdeclared it a “sin“ that millions of jobs had been taken by foreigners under the previous Labour government, because Britons were not “capable or able“ to do s
22、o. He unveiled plans to roll some existing welfare payments into a single, simplified “Universal Credit“. By fiddling with the rates at which benefits are withdrawn from those who find work, Mr. Duncan Smith hopes it will always pay to take a job.If the complexity of the modern welfare system would
23、be alien to its founders, the political context of todays reforms would be familiar. George Osborne, the chancellor of the exchequer, unveiled a cap on the benefits that any one family can receive, tied to the median net income of a working household. The British sense of “fair play would not tolera
24、te people opting for welfare as a “lifestyle choice“, Mr. Osborne said. Mr. Duncan Smith has vowed tougher sanctions for benefit claimants who refuse work, up to and including the loss of some benefits for three years. Even school breakfasts are back as a cause of contention. The Labour-led administ

Welsh Tories grumble that breakfast is the responsibility of parents.Lots of developed count
26、ries fret about the cost of welfare, but at least in western Europe Britain is a special case. According to a recent Eurobarometer survey, the British are more likely that anyone in western Europe to think poverty is caused by laziness, and more likely than anyone else in the 27- strong European Uni
27、on to blame it on immigration: the French prefer to blame the “pursuit of profit“, and the Germans bad policies. The same survey shows the British to be less convinced than any other nation in the European Union that poverty can be tackled with increased social benefits= they prefer to offer the poo
28、r work, training and regeneration schemes.When it comes to rugged individualism, the British can be found as usual paddling in the middle of the Atlantic, somewhere between Europe and America. The latest Pew Global Attitudes survey of Europe asked whether success in life is determined by “forces out
29、side our control“. In France.Germany, Italy and Spain, most respondents fatalistically answered “yes“. In Britain, 55% said “no“, though that was trumped by the response from America, where 68% said “no“.Yet when it comes to the issue of a British work ethic, the picture is murkier. When asked wheth
30、er they are satisfied with their jobs, the British arc on the EU average. A different question is posed every few years by the International Social Survey Programme: whether a job is just a way of earning money, and whether respondents would enjoy working even if they did not need the income. Among
31、the 13 countries polled, the British (especially British men) consistently express the lowest commitment to work for its own sake.It would be easy to come away with a rather chilly image of Britain: hostile to the work shy, yet jaundiced about work. That would help to explain the rather punitive ton
32、es in which the coalition government has unveiled its welfare reforms. But where does that leave David Camerons voluntarism “Big Society“? After all, that rests on what Jesse Norman, a Tory MP and Cameroon theorist, has called the “bold conjecture“ that Britons are a people fizzing with latent, unta
33、pped energy, ready to roll back the state and bid to run public services better.The answer, perhaps, is that the British arc complicated. They are individualists who build strong communities and pull together in a crunch. They have a national allergy to earnestness（分数：5.00）(1).It can be inferred fro

When he was carrying off Elena, he held her in one hand above his head as he dashed across the stage. He shouted, hissed,
39、banged with his feet, tore his coat across his chest. When he refused to fight Morozov, he trembled all over as nobody ever trembles in reality, and gasped loudly. The theatre shook with applause. There were endless calls. Fenogenov was presented with a silver cigarette-case and a bouquet tied with
40、long ribbons. The ladies waved their handkerchiefs and urged their men to applaud, many shed tears. But the one who was the most enthusiastic and most excited was Masha, daughter of Sidoretsky the police captain. She was sitting in the first row of the stalls beside her papa; she was ecstatic and co
41、uld not take her eyes off the stage even between the acts. Her delicate little hands and feet were quivering, her eyes were full of tears, her cheeks turned pater and paler. And no wonder - she was at the theatre for the first time in her life.“How well they act! How splendidly!“she said to her papa

She was overcome by the acting, by the play, by the surroundings. When the regim

General Kanyutchin. The police captain l

Thcy plcascd his daughtcr and made her lively, and that was enough for him. And Masha never took her eyes o
