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.

23、My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations,who is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.
This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能) .
On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.
And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated(主宰) that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did
a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered（克服） that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.
Shine on, sweet baby.

24、 On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine walks along a dirt path in southern Kenya. Actually, Kasaine is tracking lions. Particularly, he is tracking one lion called Marti.
Tracking lions on foot may sound dangerous, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born in a traditional Maasai family, he understood the beauty and risk of the wildlife. Living with big game forces him to develop a good sense of where animals have been and where they might be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints of a lion from those of other animals.
Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid other dangerous animals. But maybe Kasaine didn’t know that, years later, he would be tracking lions specifically to encounter them and to protect them. Today he leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over a red sandy path in the reserve, searching for the lion that has left upon it his unmistakable prints.
Each year, tens of thousands of tourists come to Kenya’s national parks to try to visit the “big five”: elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes, and lions. The attraction of these animals to people all over the world means that the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.
Considering the rapid urban development in Kenya, this isn’t unimaginable. In 2016, a study shows that many of the nation’s most treasured species have fallen to less than one-third of their population counting from just 40 years ago. The number of lions fell too. In 1998, the nation was home to over 15,000; only about 2,000 remain today. Several experts have predicted they could disappear entirely from the country in the next two decades.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya must be at the sacrifice of other things. People were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding regions. Communities like Kasaine’s are now finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But they are glad that their sacrifice really makes a difference.
【1】What did Kasaine learn on his way to school and back home?
A. The beauty and risk of the wildlife.
B. The method of telling different plants.
C. The skills of telling different paw prints.
D. The lifestyle of a traditional Maasai family.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The lion. B. The path.
C. The reserve. D. The group.
【3】Why is Kenya making efforts to protect wildlife?
A. To improve the nation’s economy.
B. To offer more jobs to the local people.
C. To show the importance of the “big five”.
D. To set a good example to other countries.
【4】What do we know from the fifth paragraph?
A. The lions in Kenya are in danger of dying out.
B. The number of species declined seriously in 2016.
C. The nation’s economy is experiencing a very hard period.
D. Species in Kenya decreased every year in the recent ten years.
【5】How does Kasaine feel about his sacrifice?
A. Unpleasant. B. Hopeful.
C. Doubtful. D. Worthwhile.
