Compare the new welfare system with the old one and you would find a

world of difference between

the two. Under the new welfare system, the law encourages welfare

clients to work on their own for a

gradual shift away from welfare, and this is not the case in the past.

Welfare clients now can develop

their talents to make money. In the past, they often cheated to bleed

the system for a few extra dollars.

Now caseworkers will gladly help their clients find appropriate jobs

rather than act like detectives to

try to seek out any unreported properties. Today many welfare clients

have made a choice to live a life

of complete honesty and they tell the truth to caseworkers and declare

any extra income they make.

In cases like this, caseworkers will feel greatly relieved because

they don't need to search for any cheating as in the past. Section B Readinq Skills I.

alone for one reason or another.

Those people believing in inspirational solitude argue that no

companion is more companionable than

solitude. Literary giants such as William Wordsworth, John Milton and

Henry Thoreau enjoyed living

alone on purpose. Hunters or explorers enjoy themselves as they

venture out to tame the great wild

areas. On the other hand, there are some other people who have to live

alone due to various reasons:

being divorced, widowed or never married. Many of them feel bitter to

live in solitude. They have no

one to talk to and as a result they talk at length to themselves and

to their pets and to the television. Section B Reading skills

Typically there are two kinds of people who choose to live alone on

purpose. The first group of people

is artists. They believe in the inspiration in solitude. One of my

friends is a writer. He enjoys the time

when he is alone because he can stay up late to read and, above all,

concentrate on his writing without

fear of being interrupted by others. On his wall he posts a quotation

from Thoreau: \

the companion that was so companionable as solitude.\

consists of people who

are disappointed with their marriage or family life. A woman I know

Small in size and light in weight, electronic dictionaries are

convenient to use．They are easy to carry and

students can take them anywhere they go. Whenever they come across a

new word in reading, they can

find out its meaning with the help of an electronic dictionary. An

electronic dictionary usually contains

the information of several paper dictionaries．When students have one

such dictionary, they actually

have more than one dictionary in hand．Meanwhile，electronic

dictionaries are time-saving. They save

students from turning pages over to find the word．Instead, they only

need to key in the word and the

meaning will appear on the screen. Considering all the above factors，

no wonder more and more students

are using electronic dictionaries nowadays． Section B Readinq skills I.
