　　Passage 3

　　While still in its early stages, welfare reform hasalready been judged a great success in many states—at least in getting people off welfare. It's estimatedthat more than 2 million people have left the rollssince 1994.

　　In the past four years，welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percent ofthe people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $ 6 an hour. The result： the Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent —twice the nationalaverage.

　　For advocates (代言人)for the poor，that’s an indication that much more needs to be done.

　　“More people are getting jobs，but it’s not making their lives any better,，，says Kathy Lairn，apolicy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.

　　A center analysis of U. S. Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996，agreater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, butthat average income for these households actually went down.

　　But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well withoutgovernment aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.

　　aWelfare was a poison.It was a toxin (毒素)that was poisoning the family,” says RobertRector,a welfare-reform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic (道德观)，which is much moreimportant. ”

　　Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,”then the countrycan make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.

　　From the passage,it can be seen that the author_.

　　A. believes the reform has reduced the government’s burden

　　B. insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor

　　C. is over enthusiastic about the success of welfare reform

　　D. considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful

　　D 作者的观点明显表现在第一段 While still in its earlystages，welfare reform has aJready been judged agreat success in many states...当然第六段也可看出作者的观点。
