今天的句子：

這篇文章來自8月31的華盛頓郵報標題是：Microsoft to Service Providers: to work with us, offer paid family leave微軟喊話服務商：要和我們合作，請給員工帶薪的生育假。美國的勞工權益一直是考研英語的關注點，我們需要重視。來看文章吧!

Technology giants in the United States offer some of the country’s most generous employee benefits, but the workers who mow the lawns or serve lunch in the company cafeteria — jobs that are often staffed by outside firms — tend to get far smaller packages. Microsoft announced a new policy Thursday that it hopes will shrink that gap, pledging it will ink contracts only with service providers who give their employees 12 weeks of paid family leave. Analysts say it’s a first for large American firms, which often outsource culinary, housekeeping and receptionist work to contractors that may not supply paid leave. The announcement comes as Washington state, where the company is based, prepares to introduce paid family leave for workers, the fifth state to do so.

對應第二句

A.give its technician team more generous benefits

出現(xiàn)文中元素，但整體語義和原文無關，排除!

B.compel its service providers to treat workers better

正確選項，同義替換!

給員工帶薪的假期=對員工好一點

C.support the state’s introduction of paid family leave

這個選項有一定迷惑性，但是文中沒有說是在支持州政府。

屬于沒有提及的選項。

D.remind staff members of the importance of family

提醒員工家庭的重要性，聽上去合理實際沒有依據(jù)的選項，排除!

明天的句子：

The strike, like most #MeToo-era advocacy, reveals that those who’ve dealt with workplace misbehavior don’t desire vengeance so much as an acknowledgement of the harm that’s been wrought.

思考題：

People suffering from the misconducts desire the act of accepting rather than revenge.
