【单选题】
It is the land of the silk safety net, where almost half the national budget goes toward smoothing out life’s inequalities, and there is plenty of money for schools, day care, retraining programs, job seminars—Danes love seminars: three days at a study centre heating about waste management is almost as good as a ski trip. It is a culture bombarded byEnglish, in advertising, pop music, the Internet, and despite all theEnglish thatDanish absorbs—there is noDanishAcademy to defend against it. It is the land where a foreigner is struck by the sweet egalitarianism that prevails. It’s a nation of recyclers—about 55 percent ofDanish garbage gets made into something new—and no nuclear power plants. It’s a nation where things operate well in general.
A、brochure from the Ministry ofBusiness and Industry says, "Denmark is one of the world’s cleanest and most organized countries, with virtually no pollution, crime, or poverty.Denmark is the most corruption-free society in the Northern Hemisphere."

The orderliness of the society doesn’t mean thatDanish lives are less messy or lonely than yours or mine, and noDane would tell you so.But there is a sense of entitlement and security thatDanes grow up with.Certain things are yours by virtue of citizenship, and you shouldn’t feel bad for taking what you’re entitled to, you’re as good as anyone else. The rules of the welfare system are clear to everyone, the benefits you get if you lose your job,the steps you take to get a new one; and the orderliness of the system makes it possible for the country to weather high unemployment and social unrest without a sense of crisis.
