Getting a job can be especially difficult for someone with a prison record. So a prison training program in the American Northwest prepares women to start their own businesses.
The program is called Lifelong Information for Entrepreneurs (企业家), or LIFE. The training combines business and social skills. The women learn how to manage their time, set goals and settle conflicts peacefully.
Saresa Whitley is serving five years for attack at a women’s prison in Oregon. She has a job waiting for her when she is released in January. But she also plans to start a small business with the knowledge gained from the months of class. She said: " When I was talking about knowing if my business is viable or not, through a profit-and-loss model, I was like ’ Wow, I didn’t even know the word viable before, and now I do. ’ I’ve learned a lot, I’ve learned a lot about how to write a business plan, about effective communications skills, how to listen, something I didn’t know how to do before. "
Cynthia Thompson is serving time for stealing someone’s identity. She says the lessons learned in the program are important not just for the inmates (同狱犯人) but also the communities they will reenter. " I think the goal of it is to produce people that are being part of the community, paying their taxes and being volunteers. Not just necessarily successful small businesses, but just successful, accountable people in the community. "
MercyCorps Northwest started the training program four years ago. MercyCorps is an international development organization. Doug Cooper is assistant director of MercyCorps Northwest. Doug Cooper says "We were looking for ways that we could apply our expertise around economic development and small business management to populations that could use it. It’s identical to what we do internationally, except we apply it here in Oregon and Washington. "
MercyCorps Northwest has just started a LIFE program at a women’s prison in Washington state. Doug Cooper hopes the idea will spread to prisons throughout the country. The group says just three of the one hundred graduates of its training program have returned to prison. Graduates of the LIFE program have started businesses like cutting hair and selling goods at farmers markets. [br] What can we learn about Saresa Whitley?
选项
A、She has an unforgettable time in prison.
B、She spends most of her life in Oregon.
C、She can’t find a job when she is released.
D、She learns how to deal with people.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。根据原文“我学到了很多东西。我学会了如何写商业计划、有效的沟通技巧……”,可知她学到了怎样与人沟通,D)中的how to deal with people是原文中effective communications skills的同义转述,故为答案。原文没有提及她在监狱里度过的时光是否难忘,故排除A);原文提到她在俄勒冈监狱服刑,而不是在那里度过了大半生,故排除B);原文指出她在1月份获释后就可以获得一份工作,故排除C
