26、 Chinese culture values family bonds (纽带) very much. Family members don’t just gather during the holidays, in fact they often live under one roof all year round.
Different cultures have different family values. 【1】
In most East Asian cultures, extended families(大家庭) are common. 【2】 According to the Atlantic, 90 percent of children in Shanghai and 70 percent of children in Beijing were cared for by their grandparents. Chinese people believe that “a grandparent is a treasure to their family”.
In many Western countries，most families are nuclear families (小家庭). These are only made up of children and their parents.
Additionally, the duties parents have toward their children can also differ.
【3】 It’s normal for parents to pay for their children’s college, help them find a job, or buy them an apartment. Chinese adults also follow their parents’ opinions when making major life decisions, more often than not.
In most Western countries, however, kids usually move out of the house after they turn 18. 【4】 Also, if they choose to keep living with their parents after becoming an adult, it can be seen by some as a failure on their part.
While the East cares more about close family bonds, the West values privacy and independence. 【5】 Families will always be a source of love, warmth, and care for people around the world.
A.These families have three or even four generations living together.
B.Nuclear families are the most common type in China.
C.In China, many parents look after their children all the way into adulthood.
D.Families in the east and west are very different from each other.
E.But in the end, home is best — east or west.
F.Many young people going to college often need to take out loans and work part-time jobs in order to pay for tuition and rent.
G.Both Easterners and Westerners value quality family time.
27、Inequality in the workplace has long been a hot topic but gender economist Roy is actively turning that conversation into action. She founded Pipeline Equity, a company that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and drive economic gains through gender equality. "The idea was: If we could change decisions that are made in organizations, we could actually make gender equality a reality in our lifetime, rather than the hundred or so years that we World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts." Roy said.
The WEF’s predictions were made before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which Roy called a "she-session," because women have lost the majority of jobs during this particular economic downturn. "With remote work and with people being at home with children, most caregiving and unpaid work falls to women."
There has been much talk about such situations being good for gender equality, but Roy warned while working from home could help keep more women in the workforce, it could have a negative impact on female promotions.
"At this moment, there's the opportunity to employ AI to ensure we make progress on gender equality, ""Roy explained. "For companies, that is particularly important because in the 008 Great Recession（经济大萧条），companies that put equality at the core of their crisis management strategy actually increased the speed of their recovery."
But to close the gender pay gap, we can't start by talking about pay. "Pay is the symptom it’s not the disease." Roy said. "Pay is the quantitative（数量的）value that you place on your talent. But the actual value happens before that in performance and potential. "That's where Pipeline's platform steps in.
Using natural language processing, Pipeline's platform reads through performance reviews and calls out any biased phrases. They've found that on average, women are under-valued 4 percent of the time, and that actually impacts their ability to be promoted, as well as their pay.
"As this moment, we have the opportunity to embrace AI as a tool to achieve get equality." Roy said
【1】Women in the workplace may face problems EXCEPT________.
A．Being under-valued
B．getting a lower pay
C．Heavy economic burden
D．smaller chances of promotion
【2】By mentioning “the 2008 Great Recession”, Roy meant________.
A．AI had long been employed in the workplace
B．gender equality was the key to solving the crisis
C．Gender equality could play an important role during economic crisis
D．the present situation was similar to that of the 2008 Great Recession
【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 imply?
A．Pay is the root of gender inequality.
B．Pay is not worth attaching importance to.
C．Pay is just an indicator of gender inequality.
D．Pay is the first step towards ensuring gender quality.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Pay gap will soon be closed.
B．AI brings equality into the workplace.
C．It’s time to ensure equality in the workplace.
D．The more women in the workplace, the better.
