About 1 in 15 households drink bottled water today, spending about $ 4 billion a year on it. Although the reasons for the trend are many, bottled water's health benefits fall near the top of the list. Surveys have found that about 25 percent of bottled water drinkers choose the beverage for health and safety reasons; another quarter believe it is pure and free of contaminants（杂质）.
Regardless of its pristine image, bottled water is not necessarily any purer or more healthful than what flows right out of the tap. Consider that the Food and Drug Administration （FDA）, the bottled water industry watchdog, does not require that bottled water meet higher standards for quality, such as the maximum level of contaminants, than public water supplies regulated by the EPA. For the most part, the FDA simply follows EPA's regulatory lead. Granted, bottled water is often filtered（过滤）to remove chemicals such as chlorine that may impart a certain taste. But that doesn't make it any safer. In fact, about 25 to 40 percent of bottled water comes from the same municipal water supplies as tap water. Furthermore, some bottled waters do not contain any or enough of the fluoride（氟化物）needed to fight cavities. The only way to determine whether a certain water contains the mineral is to check with the company that bottles it.
This is not to say that bottled water is necessarily any better or worse, from a health standpoint, than tap water. It's certainly preferable to tap water for those who like its taste. The problem is that many consumers pay 300 to 1,200 times more per gallon for bottled water than for tap water because they think bottled water is the more healthful of the two. Bottlers add to the confusion by sprinkling terms such as "pure", "crystal pure" and "premium" on labels illustrated with pictures of glaciers, mountain streams, and waterfalls, even when the water inside comes from a public reservoir. However, the FDA has set forth regulations requiring clear labeling of bottled waters. The mini glossary（词汇）of bottled waters explains what some of the terms used on bottles really mean.

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.
While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents
do, in other words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only
morally urgent but important to the future of society. To classify parenting as a personal choice for which
there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to
steal those benefits because they accrue (累积) to the whole of society as today's children become tomorrow's
citizens. In fact, by some estimates, the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and
money, is equal to 20%～30% of GDP. If these investments bring huge social benefits-as they clearly do-the
benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.
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.
B. The opposition from business circles.
C. The lack of a precedent in American history.
D. The existing Family and Medical Leave Act.
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.
B. Parenting relies largely on social support.
C. Parenting produces huge moral benefits.
D. Parenting is basically a social
