“ Today ? No.” I shook my head.

“ You ? you are always so positive! How did you do that?”

When he was hungry, I did not give him the chance to eat food. When he felt like doing something fun, I said to him that having fun was not worthwhile. And worst of all, when he was sick and needed , I did not care. I told him to get up and get to work. And when he did, I never told him he did good work. I was so ashamed him,” he said. “that I wanted to him, but couldn’t.”

“But that was !”

He nodded. “Then one day it all . I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror in the morning. I saw the dark circles under his eyes. I saw the excess weight. I saw the long hair that needed . And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world . Now they were so sad and tired. And there and then I realized he better. So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person .”

We all know what a brain is.A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head.It controls our body's functions,movements,emotions and thoughts.But a brain can mean so much more.

A brain can also simply be a smart person,If a person is called brainy,she is smart and intelligent.If a family has many children but one of them is super smart,you could say,“She's the brains in the family.”And if you are the brains behind something you.are responsible for developing or organizing something.For example,Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice.Word experts say the phrase“brain trust”became popular when Franklin D.Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932,Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U.S.

These professors were called his“brain trust.”

These ways we use the word“brain”all make sense.But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand.For example,to understand the next brain expression,you first need to know the word“drain”.As a verb to drain means to,remove something by letting it flow away.So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears.But,brain drain is when a country's most educated people leave their countries to live in another.The brains are,sort of,draining out of the country.

However,if people are responsible for a great idea,you could say they brainstormed it.Here,brainstorm is not an act of weather.It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic.For example,business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products,and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.

If people are brainwashed,it does not mean their brains are nice and clean.To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way.Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.

(D) 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.

1.What do we learn about paid family leave according to Paragraph 1?

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.
