Click on the paragraph that best relates to the recording. A) Religious groups and private charities used to provide individual aid to help people in poverty meet essential demands. These organizations provide subsidies for housing, food, energy, and healthcare. However, this may lead to a dangerous consequence that these people in need mostly rely on those subsidies, instead of finding a job themselves. B) Welfare programs are devised to ensure assistance goes to people who need it the most. Once they earn more than the qualification threshold, they will no longer be provided with such welfare. If people gain no net benefit from working, they’re more likely to remain in government help, which will lead to a low employment rate and a sluggish economy. C) People work for many reasons, including societal norms and personal values. These reasons have inspired them to solve the problem of poverty. When the economy slows down, they will work harder to find a job, in case of an unemployment, and that in turn boosts the economy. D) Welfare programs are designed for people who fall below a certain income level. Only they are eligible for benefits provided by governments, who will support these people no matter whether they find a job in the future or not. Thus, tax payers will have a heavier burden to support the governments.
