Questions 47 to 5/kloc-0 are all based on the following passage.
Nowadays, men are embracing fatherhood and enjoying the all-weather participation that their partners dream of-dealing with night feeding, packing lunch and dressing their knees. But unlike women, many people find themselves negotiating their new roles with little support or information. Writer Jon Smith said: "My generation (25-40 years old) is afraid of being a father because we have no role models. They often find those who are excluded from the mother's support network and remain vigilant on the playground.
This challenge is particularly evident in the workplace. There, men are still considered as breadwinners who climb the company ladder; Traditional bosses are usually indifferent to family needs. In Denmark, most new fathers only take paternity leave for two weeks. Even if they have a 34-day holiday. Like women, when fathers ask for flexible arrangements, they are hard to be taken seriously.
Wilfried-Fritz Maring, a 54-year-old database and internet expert from FIZ Karlsruhe, Germany, admitted that "when I decided to work from home, I gave up any chance of promotion."
The mentality is gradually changing. After Marin had a daughter, the company provided him with a home office and allowed him to choose a job where he could work. Danish telecommunications company TDC launched an internal campaign last year to encourage fathers to take paternity leave: now 97% people take paternity leave. Spokesman Christine Elberg Holm said: "When employees take paternity leave, they will receive a new kind of training: how to stay calm under pressure." For a new generation of fathers, children may be more important than the company-but this is a change that is beneficial to both sides.

Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Like most people, I have long understood that people will judge me according to my career, which is the yardstick people use to measure how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to find that it also determines how I am treated as a person.
Last year, I left my professional position as a reporter in a small town and started a job as a waiter. Someone pays people to provide food. I have what customers say and do to me, and I doubt that they will ever say or do to their most ordinary acquaintances. One night, a man motioned me to go away with his finger while talking on his mobile phone. A minute later, he complained that he was ready to order and asked me where I had been.
I worked as a waiter in the summer vacation of college and was treated as a servant by many people. But at 19 years old. I think I should be treated like a professional adult. Besides, when I told people that I was in college, their reactions to me were different. Customers will joke that one day I will sit at their table and wait to be served.
As soon as I graduated, I got a job in a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard that everyone who called me was in a respectful tone. I thought this was the way the professional world worked-sincerely.
I soon found that things were different. I was sitting a few feet away from an advertising sales representative with the same name. Our phones are often confused, and anyone looking for Kristen N will be transferred to Kristen. This mistake is obvious. Maybe it's because of the money, but people use a tone to Christine that they have never used to me.
My position allows people to be polite. So returning to the catering industry is a shock.
As we all know, there are many things to endure when you are a waiter. Fortunately, when you put a tip in your pocket, many things are easily forgotten. As the name implies, the service industry exists to cater to the needs of others. Nevertheless, it seems that many of my customers don't know the difference between a waiter and a servant.
I am applying for graduate school now, which means that one day I will return to a place where people need to be kind to me to get the job they want. I think I'll take them to dinner first and see how they treat a person whose only job is to serve them.

Of course, some left-wing billionaires like george soros have been attacking income inequality for years. But more and more centrists and right-wing billionaires are beginning to worry about income inequality and the fate of the middle class.
December. Mortimer zuckerman wrote a column in American News. He owns the world report. "The core transaction between our country and the middle class is disintegrating," lamented the117th richest man in the United States. "Most of our economic benefits flow to the people at the top of the income ladder. In contrast, the average income of working-age families has declined for five consecutive years.

The current challenges are particularly evident in the workplace. There, men are still expected to support their families and climb the company ladder; Traditional bosses are usually indifferent to family needs. Most new fathers in Denmark only need two weeks of paternity leave (paternity leave for fathers), even if they are allowed 34 days. As if there is nothing more, compared with women, fathers struggle to seriously consider their demands and make flexible arrangements.
Wilfri-Fritz Maring, a 54-year-old data and Internet professional bank in Karlsruhe Professional Information Center, Germany, believes that his time with his daughter has exceeded any shortcomings, but he admits that "my decision to work from home has been rejected by any publicity opportunity."
The mental state (mentality) is gradually changing. When Marin had a daughter, his company was equipped with a home office and asked him to choose a job where he could work.

I soon found the difference. I sat with an advertising sales representative with a similar name several times. We ask to hang out often. Someone asked Christine to be handed over to Christie.
