Hosting just seven guests in a four cabins,the accommodation will boast huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the ones often used by astronauts.

I am usually in a bad mood after a long day at work, but on this particular Friday afternoon I was in a high mood.I planned to have a good meal and watch Bridget Jones’s Diary.
My local supermarket is always busy.The first parking space I spotted was convenient, but I’d noticed a woman in an old car circling for a while.I let her have it.On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot — it was a tight fit.
In record time I’d made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air.In a rush of good spirits, I emptied my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse (倒车) into a parking space.
Just as I spotted my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car spot earlier.I smiled and wished her a pleasant day.
As I got back into my car, I spotted the same lady looking in at me.“ Hello,” she said, hesitantly (犹豫地).“ This might sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother’s things off at the charity bins.” I looked quickly at the orange bins in the corner of the parking lot, confused.“ I saw you helping those people, and you seemed so happy.My mom had a dress just like that.”
She looked at me meaningfully.I smiled at her in encouragement, hoping she wouldn’t notice that the dress she was admiring was now full of holes.“ I was going to give these away, but you are just so much like her.” She passed a box in through the window.Shocked, unthinking, I took it automatically (无意识地).“ I think she would like you to have it.” She smiled and walked away.
After a pause, I opened the box.Inside was a beautiful gold necklace.It was the nicest gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger.
Later, I thought back on the day.I didn’t feel the usual sense of exhaustion.The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.

Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two,Australia, gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011.I wasn’t surprised when this didn’t make the news here in the United States—we’re now the only wealthy country without such a policy.

The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993.It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks’ unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the modesty of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent(先例).” In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed.

As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues, justifying parental support depends on defining (定义) the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children. Society expects—and needs—parents to provide their children with continuity of care. And society expects—and needs—parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed.

A. It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy.

B. Setting up this policy made Australia less influential.

C. It has now become a hot topic in the United States.

D. No such policy is applied in the United States.

2.What makes it hard to take work-family balance measures in the States?

A. The incompetence of the Democrats.

B. The opposition from business circles.

C. The lack of a precedent in American history.

D. The existing Family and Medical Leave Act.

3.What is Professor Anne Alstott’s argument for parental support?

A. Children need continuous care.

B. Good parenting benefits society.

C. The cost of raising children has been growing.

D. The U.S.should keep up with other developed countries.

4.Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice?

A. Parenting is regarded as a moral duty.

B. Parenting relies largely on social support.

C. Parenting produces huge moral benefits.

D. Parenting is basically a social responsibility.

Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.

In 1954, life magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting.
