Jerme H. Pwell, the Federal Reserve chair, suggested n Wednesday that imprved child care supprt plicies frm the gvernment might help pull mre wmen int the labr market.
"Our peers, ur cmpetitrs, advanced ecnmy western cuntries, have a mre built-up functin fr child care, and they wind up having much higher labr frce participatin fr wmen," Mr. Pwell said, "We used t lead the wrld in female labr frce participatin, a quarter-century ag, and we n lnger d."
But Mr. Pwell did vice qualified supprt fr a few brader ideas. He made it clear that the labr market remained far frm healed, that the pandemic's ecnmic utcme has largely hurt wmen and minrities since the winter f 2021, and that bth Cngress and the central bank have a rle t play in supprting wrking-class families until the ecnmy has recvered mre fully. As Mr. Pwell implied, adult wmen in the United States hld jbs r lk fr them at lwer rates than wmen in sme ther majr advanced ecnmies, such as Canada r Germany.
Research has suggested that the change may be linked t child care plicies. In a 2021 paper that asked why the share f Canadians wh wrk r lk fr jbs had climbed even as United States labr frce attachment had fallen, researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank f San Francisc pinted ut that mst f the gap wed t different utcmes fr wmen. And they pinted t caregiving plicy differences as a likely reasn.
''Parental leave plicies in Canada prvide strng mtivatin t remain attached t the labr frce fllwing the arrival f a new child," the paper, written by the San Francisc Fed president, Mary C. Daly, and c-authrs, pinted ut "The cntrast between the mtivatins Canada and the United States ffer prime-age wrkers t remain attached t the labr frce is clear."
The fact 出at child care respnsibilities fall heavily n wmen in the United States has cme under a brighter sptlight during the pandemic, which has shuttered schls and disprprtinately left wmen bearing added child care respnsibilities during the traditinal wrkday.
〔1〕What can we learn frm the secnd paragraph?

A.The rate f American female emplyment was the highest five decades ag.
B.Wmen in the USA are fed up with labr wrk.
C.The USA has lst its leading status in female labr frce participatin.

A.the black females and children
B.the wrking-class Americans
C.the high-incme grups
D.the businessmen and pliticians
〔3〕As fr the different emplyment rate amng advanced ecnmies, what may be the main cause?
A.different scial status
B.the ecnmic incme
C.the child care plicy
D.gvernment ecnmic plicy
〔4〕Hw can we describe the situatin f American wmen during the pandemic?

Time t lad up sme ppular games: new research indicates pigs pssess the mental capability t play vide games. The study, published in Frntiers In Psychlgy, tested the ability f fur pigs(Hamlet, Omelette Ebny and Ivry) 10 play a simple jystick (操纵杆) game with their nses, mving a cursr(光标) t fur targets n the screen.

"It is n small achievement fr an animal t grasp the cncept that the behaviur they are perfrming is having an affect elsewhere. That pigs can d this t any degree shuld give us pause as t what else they are capable f learning and hw such learning may impact them," said Purdue University's Dr Candace Crney, the study's lead authr.
Researchers als nted that while the pigs culd be taught t play the game using fd as psitive mtivatin, they als respnded well t scial interactin.

"We therefre have a mral duty t understand hw pigs acquire infrmatin, and what they are capable f learning and remembering, because it ultimately ffer the ptential fr hw they understand their interactins with us and their envirnments."
〔1〕What can we learn frm Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A.Pigs have the ptential t play games well.
B.Pigs have nses as flexible as human hands.
C.Pigs psses the mental ability we didn't knw.
D.Pigs knw well abut what they are playing.
