21、 Taking paternity leave (陪产假) shortly after the birth of a new son or daughter may be the key to developing strong father-child bonds that last for years, says new research from Ball State University.
“We find that 9-year-olds report greater satisfaction with father involvement,” said Richard Petts, a Ball State sociology professor who carried out the research with Chris Knoester at the Ohio State University and Jane Waldfogel at Columbia University. “They feel closer to their fathers and report better communication with their dads if their fathers take paternity leave, and especially if their fathers take two or more weeks of leave.”
“We found evidence that part of the reason why two or more weeks of paternity leave may lead to 9-year-olds expressing greater satisfaction seems to be that longer periods of paternity leave-taking link to parental relationship satisfaction,” said Petts.
The study is the latest in a series examining the effects of parental leave in the development of children and its influence on the family. It is also the first research known to assess the associations between paternity leave and children’s opinions of father-child relationship quality in the United States, Petts said.
Petts said the findings of the study will help families and policymakers (政策制定者) who aim to strengthen families and improve higher quality father-child relationships.
The present structure (结构) of paternity leave in the United States provides limited opportunities for fathers to take leave and, in fact, often discourages fathers from taking leave, he said.
“The possibility to take leave is often limited to higher-income families,” Petts said. “A lack of a national paid family leave policy limits access to important benefits for American families. The present structure may be increasing inequalities.” Petts said that providing equal access to paternity leave may help to change these patterns and strengthen family relationships.
【1】How was the research probably carried out?
A.By tracking families. B.By talking with mothers.
C.By interviewing the kids. D.By recording children’s behavior.
【2】What is found about paternity leave?
A.It makes young kids become dependent.
B.It is determined by parental relationships.
C.It encourages men to become better fathers.
D.It improves father-child relationship quality.
【3】What do we know about the research?
A.It is welcomed by young fathers. B.It is the first to study parental leave.
C.It is probably helpful to policymakers. D.It is more important than similar studies.
【4】What is the problem with the present structure of paternity leave in the US?
A.Paid paternity leave is only two weeks long.
B.There is no policy to encourage paternity leave.
C.Low-income families think little of paternity leave.
D.High-income fathers are too busy to take paternity leave.
22、Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round!
Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, minds and souls. Actually，that’s your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!
In order to make “sunshine” or rather, “light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel you’d like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话）about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌）and insecurity about yourself.
You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect； expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on Having spring around makes you feel differentyour intention. Think about it!
Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine“ in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.
Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so，you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!
【1】You can have sunshine shining from your inside .
A. by measuring what you need
B. by helping someone else
C. by watching what you think, say and do
D. by changing your intention
【1】 According to the writer, you don t feel secure about yourself when you .
A. gossip about other people
B. take a close look at your intention
C. expect to be recognized for what you’ve done
D. become aware of your negative thoughts
【1】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Expecting something in return for our help isn’t the right intention.
B. Breaking our patterns is the most important to get true sunshine.
C. If we don-t intend to help others, we create monsters inside us.
D. Negative attitudes have little to do with happiness.
【1】The passage is written mainly to _ .

B. analyze the intentions and thoughts in our mind

23、 Sally had just jumped in the shower when she heard her mother, Tammy banging on the door. Sally's 12-day-old daughter was choking. She was usually quick to cry. Now she didn't make a sound. "I'd been told to raise their arms when babies arc choking, so I tried that, but she was hesitating to breathe," She needed to get to the hospital fast.
The three had barely made it out of their neighborhood when the flashing lights of a police cruiser(巡逻车)appeared behind them. Deputy Jack figured that the speeding driver was either too distracted to notice him or just unconcerned. Jack soon found out it was a frightening combination of the two.
Immediately, a panicked Tammy jumped out of the car, exclaiming that her granddaughter had stopped breathing. Desperate for help, Sally handed the baby to Jack. Ryleigh's heart was barely beating. It was seven minutes out and the hospital was even further away. That was seven minutes. Ryleigh didn't have, for her lips already a shade of blue.
The fact that Jack was there was a miracle(奇迹). Good luck for the baby, he had recently completed a CPR class. "Although I was shocked, my training kicked in." said Jack. The deputy gave Ryleigh to Sally to hold, his hands busy as he checked for a pulse. Then he began tapping and kneading(揉搓)Ryleigh's chest. Thanks to the CPR class, he used one linger to clear her airway. That was the magic touch. 20 seconds later, Ryleigh began to fuss. Then came a whimper. “If she's crying like that, she's breathing." said Jack in his trembling voice. "The whole time I was thinking, do not let this baby die in front of her mother and grandmother,” he later told Inside Edition. "Just don't."

24、 Every superhero, no matter how small, needs a cape (披风). That was Robyn Rosenberger’s motivation when she started sewing superhero capes for kids with cancer, heart defects, and other serious diseases.
It all began when she was making a cape as a birthday present for her nephew. Rosenberger heard of a girl named Brenna who was battling a potentially deadly skin condition called harlequin ichthyosis (丑角样鱼鳞病). Anyone going through what she was going through had to be tough. “I had an aha moment,” Rosenberger says. “Brenna was a superhero! She needed a cape.”
So Rosenberger sent her one, and Brenna’s mother was delighted. Rosenberger found ten more kids online and sent out ten more capes. Before long, she quit her job at a software company to dedicate herself full-time to tinysuperheroes.com, a website where people can buy handmade capes for brave kids facing illness and disability.
Since 2013, Rosenberger and her small paid staff have sent more than 12, 000 handmade capes to kids in all 50 states and 15 other countries. The capes come in pink, blue, purple, or red and can be decorated with the child’s initials or specialized patches, including a heart, a rocket, or a lightning bolt. One recipient was eight-month-old Gabe, who was born with imperfection, which causes distinct facial features. Rosenberger sent him a red cape with a bright yellow G in the center. It was a hit. Gabe is now a fixture on the company’s social media posts. “The Tiny Superhero community has been a wonderful connection to have,” says Gabe’s mom, Kate Glocke. In fact, two years later, “we still bring Gabe’s cape with us to every hospital appointment.”
