but efforts by governments to extend and prolong unemployment
benefits, and to offer more job counseling and training have not kept up with the rising numbers of jobless. scarpetta says that means countries will need to target t
heir resources more selectively and to ensure that the most vulnerable members of the labor force benefit.

培训，但是这些措施并没有赶上失业人口的增加。斯卡皮塔表示，各国因此而需要更有选择性地分配资源，以确保劳工队伍中最为脆弱的体能够得到帮助。

最快的瘦腿方法 一、中西节日的起源与形成差异
中国长期以来处于封建自给自足的农业社会和自然经济中, 其传统节日具有浓厚的农业彩,包含了农耕文明的社会特征,主要是从岁时节令转换而来的。我国古代长期以农为本, 在生产力和农业技术不发达的情况下,十分重视气候对农作物的影响。在春种、夏长、秋收、冬藏的过程中认识了自然时序的复杂规律, 总结出四时、二十四节气, 形成了以节日为主的
传统节日。勤劳的中国人民为了更好地生存, 必须大力发展农业, 而农业的发展离不开天气的关照。古人云“春雨贵如油”、“清明忙种麦,谷雨种大田”。在古代, 春节、清明节等都是重要的农事节日。
西方文化由于长久受基督教的影响, 其传统节日起源带有浓厚的宗教彩, 如情人节( 纪念名叫瓦丁的基督教殉难者)、复活节( 基督教纪念耶稣复活)、万圣节( 纪念教会所有圣人)、圣诞节( 基督教纪念耶稣诞生) ，这些节日的起源大多与宗教有关系。当然, 西方节日中也有和农业有关的节日, 但他们以农业为主的节日的历史不如中国漫长。
二、中西节日庆祝方式差异
中国的传统节日, 基本是封建社会时期形成的, 不可避免地留下封建社会的痕迹: 等级制、家族式,节日无不以家族内部活动为中心。西方的传统节日就不同了, 更多的是表现出人们的互动性、集体性和狂欢性, 以自我为中心,崇尚个性张扬。这与中国节日的家族性恰好相反, 体现了西方文化的体性,反映了人们渴望互相交流、体参与的愿望,体现了人人平等、自由表现自我的特点。这里试举两例说明。
