  Affairs Ministry concluded last year that,    65    cash encouragement, some women just don’t want to be    66      holding the baby. “What we know is that it’s good for the    67   

if men and women share the burden of having children,” says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry.   68     Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish,  men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n)    69   day off work.

   Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers    70     go give young women the  permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (产假)。In January. Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months’ paid leave, with a warning: use it or     71     it.

   Kindlund admits that men are under    72      to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. “It’s not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace,” he says. “But it’s good for the father and for the child if they can     73     a relationship.”

Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

(A)

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can     55      swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still     56      away. A mother who has not     57      the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “ Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows:     58     we have learned something, additional learning increases the     59      of time we will remember it.

In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and     60      ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but    61     .

The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,     62    it may result in a passing grade, is not a      63      way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning;    64    , is usually a good investment toward the future.

55. A. only           B. hardly         C. still                        D. even

56. A. more           B. drive          C. travel                       D. ride

57. A. thought about B. cared for                        C. showed up      D. brought up

58. A. Before         B. Once           C. Until          D. Unless

59. A. accuracy       B. unit           C. limit          D. length

60. A. remind         B. inform         C. warm           D. recall

61. A. recite         B. overlearn      C. research      D. improve

62. A. though         B. so             C. if            D. after

63. A. convenient     B. demanding                        C. satisfactory       D. swift

64. A. at most       B. by the way                       C. on the other hand  D. in the end
