I felt like I?had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington. Musical Aussie accents and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee, a public affairs unpaid intern (實(shí)習(xí)生) for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.21*cnjy*com
During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the US for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet. After reading the daily Australian and US news I ?usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on, I would attend weekly meetings to listen to planning and see what I could do to help. Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors'?guides.
The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian Prime Minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording doorstop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. As an intern, you will not be exposed to top-secret information, but you are on the inside when it comes to special events.
Government work?is a useful addition to one's experience. As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.

And while many Dylan's fans have found great delight at the news, others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee, saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year.
New?York?Times?Book?Review?editor Pamela Paul said it was good news but pointed out how many “deserving” novelists there are.
Director Martin Scorsese put out a statement saying he was “overjoyed” that Dylan was awarded the prize.
“Dylan's poetry, his?musical genius, has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world，”?Scorsese said.“His work has influenced and shaped culture, and he has never stopped exploring and growing as an artist.The Nobel Committee has given Dylan a form of recognition that fits his role in our culture — in world culture.”21世紀(jì)教育網(wǎng)版權(quán)所有

(2017·安徽百所重點(diǎn)高中二模)It's been a good week for new parents: Since Tuesday, three major corporations have changed their parental leave policies to reduce pressure on employees struggling to balance work and life with a new baby.The new program, which will take effect in November, offers up to 16 weeks of fully paid leave to primary caregivers and 10 weeks of medical leave for childbirth, totaling 26 weeks for a birth mother who is her child's primary caregiver.According to The?Wall?Street?Journal, non-primary caregivers will receive up to 14 weeks of paid leave.
“In the US,?government mandates (命令) for paid leave are currently slim to nonexistent，”?Ms.Morris said. ?“That means ?companies ?must ?seek ?the ?tough ?balance ?between supporting employees during major life events and meeting business goals.Too often, employees have not had the support they need.” Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics say only 13 percent of full-time workers in the United States had access to paid family leave in 2012.Willis Towers Watson benefits consultant Mary Tavarozzi told Reuters paid leave for American mothers usually lasts around a month.
According to The?New?York?Times, the United States is the only high-income country that does not have nationally mandated paid family leave.In contrast, workers in Britain are given up to 50 weeks of family leave, 37 weeks of which is paid.Barack Obama has talked about closing this gap between the United States and its peers, The?Times?reported.In December, he began giving federal employees six weeks of paid family leave following the birth of a child.“It's time we stopped treating childcare as a side issue or a women's issue, and treated it like the national economic priority (優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)) that it is，”?he said in his State of the Union address in January.
Some studies?have shown that the benefits of paid parental leave are tangible (實(shí)際的) beyond the relief new parents experience at being able to focus on their children without worrying about money.
語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了美國(guó)三大公司在一周之內(nèi)相繼公布產(chǎn)假修改制度，對(duì)那些剛剛有孩子的父母來(lái)說(shuō)這無(wú)疑是一個(gè)好消息。
32．Why is it a good week for new parents?
A. Because the cost they paid will be shared.
B．Because longer periods of parental leave are expected.
C．Because the policy benefiting them takes effect.
D．Because employees'?working time is becoming shorter.
解析：選B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“three major corporations have changed their parental leave policies”可知，三大公司相繼修改了產(chǎn)假政策；再結(jié)合“totaling 26 weeks for a birth mother”可知，產(chǎn)假有望延長(zhǎng)，故選B。
33．What did Ms.Morris say about the US's present paid leave?
A．It's well carried out.
B．It's supported by employers.
C．Few employees really get the benefits.
D．It increases the cost of the companies.
解析：選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“In the US, government mandates (命令) for paid leave are currently slim to nonexistent”可知，在美國(guó)，政府對(duì)于帶薪休假的命令少得幾乎不存在。由此可推知，很少有員工從帶薪休假中受益。故選C。
34．What can we infer from Obama's words?
A. Women can perform as well as men.
B．Childcare should be taken more seriously than the economy.21cnjy.com
C．Working conditions for women are worsening.
D．The importance of paid family leave was once ignored.
解析：選D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的第一句可知，美國(guó)是高收入國(guó)家中唯一一個(gè)無(wú)全國(guó)性的法定帶薪產(chǎn)假的國(guó)家。再結(jié)合“It's time we stopped treating childcare as a side issue or a women's issue, and treated it like the national economic priority (優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)) that it is”可知，奧巴馬解釋了這一現(xiàn)象的原因，即忽視了帶薪產(chǎn)假的重要性，故選D。
35．What may be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. People's reactions to Obama's decision.
B．Reasons for a paid family leave program.
C．Other advantages of a paid family leave program.
D．The gap between the US and other countries.
解析：選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容尤其是“the benefits of paid parental leave are tangible (實(shí)際的) beyond the relief”可知，帶薪產(chǎn)假的好處不僅僅是初為父母的人在照顧孩子時(shí)不需要擔(dān)心錢(qián)的問(wèn)題，故下文很可能會(huì)進(jìn)一步探討帶薪產(chǎn)假給員工、公司或社會(huì)帶來(lái)的其他好處，故選C。
