When Jhan Bavman’s sn Vigg was brn, s was a deeply persnal phtgraph prject: a lk at fathers using Sweden’s parental-leave plicy—t stay hme with their children.
Paid maternal leave（女性产假) arund childbirth is cmmn thrughut the wrld: It’s federal plicy in 34 r the 35 member natins, such cuntries as England, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc. f the OECD(all but the United States). Abut tw-thirds f thse natins als fund at least brief parental leaves fr fathers—a benefit first extended by Sweden, in 1974.
Sweden’s prgram has allwed parents t split 480 days f subsidized（补贴的）leave t care fr children and earn bnuses accrding t hw evenly they split the leave. But despite thse encuragements, nly abut 14 percent f Sweden’s fathers “tk paternal leave and shared the days equally with their partner,” Bavman says.
He jined the ranks f thse dads in 2012 at Vigg’s birth— “I wanted t be at hme by myself with him, t get t knw his needs” —and is als using leave t stay hme with Manfred, brn in 2016. In his pht prject（nw a bk）, Bavman shws fathers in Sweden verseeing child and hme care. “It’s gne unrecgnized that this is really hard, full-time wrk” he says, and “smething that wmen have always been ding.”
Like mst new mthers, Carline Ihlstrm lked frward t cuddling and feeding her new-brns. But premature（早产的） twins Parisa and Leia were unable t nurse. When Bavman arrived t take phts shrtly after the twins’ birth, their father, Samed Khigltapeh, had fed them frmula（配方奶）and was warming them against his skin. A cnstructin engineer, Khigltapeh tk jint parental leave with Ihlstrm fr the babies’ first fur mnths and then sled with them fr six mre mnths.
S far Bavman has taken phts f 45 fathers n leave. He is happy t ffer them as rle mdels “s men can see the benefits f being n leave.” But he’s nt satisfied with the nickname sme Swedes supply: latte-pappr, r “latte dads,” as if the men perfrm childcare duties between cffee dates. Thugh he des drink cffee, Bavman says, “I dn’t have time t sit.”
Taking lng leaves with his children has made him a better parent, Bavman says. He hpes his phtgraphy prject will inspire mre fathers—and mre cuntries—t give the idea a try.
32．What can we learn frm paragraph 2?
A．Tw-thirds f the cuntries carry ut maternal leave.
B．Nt many fathers explit the plicy t take care f their kids.
C．Mst f the member cuntries f OECD supprt paternal leave.

C．The nickname, representing what life he is living, is apprpriate .

Unlike the real wrld, identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace（网络空间）. 36 S even the shiest persn can becme a chat-rm star.
Usually, this "faceless" cmmunicatin desn't create prblems. Identity desn't really matter when yu're in a chat rm discussing plitics r hbbies. In fact, this emphasis n the idea makes the Internet a great place fr exciting cnversatins. Where else can s many peple cme tgether t chat abut their interests？
37 They are lking fr serius lve relatinships. Is cyberspace a gd place t find lve？That answer depends n whm yu ask. Sme f these relatinships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supprters f nline relatinships claim that the Internet allws cuples t get t knw each ther intellectually first. 38
But critics f nline relatinships argue that n ne can truly knw anther persn in cyberspace, because the Internet gives users a lt f cntrl ver hw thers view them. Internet users can carefully craft（精制）their wrds t fit whatever image they want t give. And they dn't have t wrry abut what their "faceless" cmmunicatin is ding fr their image. 39
All f this may be fine if the relatinship stays in cyberspace. But nt knwing a persn is a big prblem in a lve relatinship. 40 This will lead t disappintment when cuples meet in persn. Hw smene imagines an nline friend is ften quite different frm the real persn.
S, befre lking fr lve in cyberspace, remember the advice f the Internet pineer Cliffrd Stll, "Life in the real wrld is far richer than anything yu'll find n a cmputer screen. "
A．In a sense, they're nt really themselves.
B．Persnal appearance desn't get in the way.
C．But sme Internet users want mre than just smene t chat with.
D．Hwever, nline relatinships will be damaged by this kind f image.
E．The Internet encurages peple t express their ideas in a mre free way.
F．With s many unknwns, it's easy t let ne's imaginatin fill in the blanks.
G．Instead a persn's thughts －r at least the thughts he types－are what really cunt.

As Alisn Gpnik described in her recent bk, there are tw kinds f parents in mdern America: the Carpenter and the Gardener. The “carpenter" thinks that his r her child can 61 (shape). “The idea is that if yu just d the right things, get the right skills and read the right bks, yu're ging t be able t turn yur child 62 a particular kind f adult," she said.
The “gardener”, hwever, is seldm cncerned abut 63 (cntrl) what the child will becme and instead prvides a ___64_______ (prtect) space t expre. The style is all abut “creating a rich, nutritius but als variable, diverse, active ecsystem”. Gpnik, a psychlgy and philsphy prfessr at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, said, “Many parents are carpenters, and 65 is really necessary fr them t bring up their children.” She spent decades researching children's develpment and finally 66 (find) that parents ften fcused t much n what their children wuld be as adults. The harm is that parents and their children may becme 67 (anxiety), tense r unhappy.
“We're s cncerned abut ur children 68 we think have difficulties mastering their wn future that we're unwilling t allw them t 69 (free) explre the wrld," she says. The truth is that the 70 (little) the parents wrry abut utcmes, the better their children may live in life.

In this bk，a nine-year-ld by called Barry ges t The Parent Agency with a list f 10 reasns why he desn't like his parents; things like being really strict. He is given a 5-Day Parent Trial Package with 5 different sets f new parents，wh each have t give him a 10th birthday party，s that he can decide which parents he wants t live with in future. He spends the next 5 days with the different dream parents and has a party with each f them. Hwever，when he cannt decide which parents he likes best，the stry gets very interesting…
I enjy this bk because it is full f imaginatin and the pictures add t the humr in the bk. I think this bk will appeal t girls and bys. If yur teacher read it alud，it wuld make the whle class laugh. I'd like t say it's wrthwhile t read fr anyne aged 7-11.
