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．

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

1.We can infer from the text that humans and animals ______.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food

B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways

D. eat entirely different food

2.Certain animals change their choice of food when ______.

A. the season changes

B. the food color changes

C. they move to different places

D. they are attracted by different smells

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.

A. French and British food is good

B. food is chosen for a good reason

C. some people have few choices of food

D. some people care little about healthy diet

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.
