The Labor Department said any costs would be offset by savings contractors would see as a result of lower attrition rates and increased worker loyalty, but produced nothing to back that up.Under the executive order, employees working on federal contracts will gain the right to a minimum of one hour of paid leave for every 30 hours they work. Stretched over 12 months, that will add up to seven days a year. The order will allow employees to use the leave to care for sick relatives, and will affect contracts starting in 2017 just as Obama leaves office.The Obama administration has been working on the executive order for months, and chose Labor Day to announce it as the president seeks to enact（颁布）what policies he can before his presidency ends, despite resistance in Congress to laws he has proposed to improve workplace conditions.That push has reverberated（回想）in the 2016 campaign, where Democratic candidates are seeking to draw a distinction with Republicans on who is most supportive of the middle class.Roughly 44 million private-sector workers do not get paid sick leave about 40% of the workforce, the White House said. Obama renewed his call for Congress to expand the requirement beyond contract workers and to all but the smallest businesses, an idea that has gained little traction on Capitol Hill. Obama also called on Congress to pass a budget when they come back from their summer recess this week.Unable to push much of his agenda through a Republican-controlled Congress, Obama has in recent years used executive orders to apply to federal contractors policies he lacks the authority to enact nationwide. His aim is to lay the groundwork for those policies to be expanded to all Americans.21. How many people will benefit from this paid sick leave policy? A. 44 million. B. 0.3 million. C. 30 million. D. 300 million. 22. How will this paid sick leave policy benefit the federal contractors? A. They will lose money. B. Lower attrition rates between companies.C. Increase workers loyalty. D. Both B and C.23. Which of the following is true according to this article?A. The paid sick leave policy took effect on Labor Day, 2015.B. The middle class plays an important role in the 2016 campaign.C. The workforce of the U.S. is roughly 44 million.D. Obamas federal contractors policies were pushed through in a Republican-controlled Congress. BAt least 107 people were killed and 238 more were injured when a crane collapsed on to the Grand Mosque during storms in the Muslim holy city of Mecca on Friday, the Saudi Arabian government has said. The director general of the countrys civil defence authority, Suleiman al-Amr, said high winds caused the disaster.On its Twitter account, the authority said rescue teams had been sent to the scene and offered its “sincere condolences” over the deaths, as well as its prayers for the speedy recoveries of those injured.Abdel Aziz Naqoor, who said he worked at the mosque, told Agence France-Presse that he had seen the crane fall after being hit by the storm. “If it werent for al-Tawaf bridge the injuries and deaths would have been worse,” he said, referring to a covered walkway that surrounds the Kabah and broke the cranes fall.The UK Foreign Office said it was urgently investigating whether any British citizens were caught up in the accident. “We are are aware of the incident and are in close contact with the Saudi authorities,” a spokeswoman said.David Cameron tweeted: “My thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost loved ones at Mecca today.”The governor of Mecca region, Prince Khaled al-Faisal, ordered an investigation into the incident and was heading to the mosque, according to the local government.Muslims make their annual hajj pilgrimage later in September and Saudi authorities go to great lengths to be prepared for the millions of people who converge（聚集）on Mecca. They have taken a series of safety measures over the past decade aimed at preventing crowd crushes after tragedies such as the stampede（人群的蜂拥）in 2006, which resulted in 350 deaths, a building collapse（倒塌） in the same year which killed 76 and a stampede that killed more than 200 people in 2004.Officials limited numbers attending the hajj after a peak in 2013, in which more than 3.1 million pilgrims arrived. Bottlenecks（障碍物）in which crushes occurred along the pilgrimage route were widened and religious authorities decreed that it was not mandatory for pilgrims to touch sacred spots.Saudi authorities have lavished（浪费）vast sums to improve Meccas transport system in an effort to prevent more disasters. Security services often surround Islams sacred city with checkpoints and other measures to prevent people arriving for the pilgrimage without authorization. Those procedures, aimed at reducing crowd pressure which can lead to stampedes, fires and other hazards, have been intensified in recent years as security threats grow throughout the Middle East.24. How many people were injured in the crane accident on Friday? A. At least 107. B. 107. C. More than 238. D. Less than 238. 25. What may be the cause of the disaster? A. High winds. B. Thunder storm weather.C. Both A and B. D. Unknown26. What did the authority do after this disaster?A. Rescue teams had been sent.B. Sincere condolences over the deaths were offered.C. Prayers for the speedy recoveries of those injured were offered.D. All above. 27. What can we know from the article? A. Al-Tawaf bridge reduced the injuries and deaths in the disaster. B. No British citizens were caught up in the accident. C. Muslims made their annual hajj pilgrimage early in September. D. Saudi authorities dont do anything to improve Meccas transport system.CEat nuts, live longer. Researchers have found that those who eat a handful of peanuts every day significantly decrease their risk of dying from all causes compared to those who do not eat nuts. A newstudyconcludes that all types of nuts seem to be protective. Researcher Ying Bao is with the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Womens Hospital and Harvard University Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. She and her colleagues looked at the impact of nut consumption by analyzing two huge studies that began in 1980 - the Nurses Health Study, which tracks the well-being of more than 76,000 women, and 42,000 men enrolled in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Among the questions asked at the beginning of the studies was, how frequently do you eat nuts? The information was updated every two to four years. Bao says the participants were followed for three decades. “What we observed is that people who eat more nuts are less likely to die over the next 30 years, said Bao. So, for example, if a person eat(s) nuts once per day, that person has a 20 percent lower risk of dying.” Bao says eating a handful of nuts five or more times per week was associated with a 29 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease and an 11 percent lower risk of cancer death. A serving size is 28 grams. Nuts contain nutrients, including high quality proteins, vitamins and minerals, all of which have anti-cancer effects and may help protect the heart. Bao says researchers are planning studies to find out how nuts are beneficial to human health. The study on the health benefits of nuts was funded by the International Tree Nut Council Research and Education Foundation.28. People who often eat nuts _.A. are more likely to live longer than people who often eat fruitsB. dont need to go to hospitalC. may live longer than people who dont eat nutsD. dont have to do sports29.

Her research was based on two studies.C. Her research lasted about three years.D. People should eat all kinds of nuts every day.31. Eating nuts may help us stay away from _. A. cancer Bfever Cflu Dheadache DStudies show farmland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients. But researchers say combining different farming methods may help. Since the world food crisis several years ago, researchers have directed more of their attention to small farms. Most farms in areas south of the Sahara Desert are only about one or two hectares. One of the goals is to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops. American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perennation. It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants those that return year after year.Mr. Reganold, who is with Washington State University, says poor soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients. He says some farmers may have done more harm than good. He estimates that up to two billion dollars worth of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium is lost from African soil each year. The scientist says the word perennation defines three systems that are already used in Africa. The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture. This is where farmers plant trees with their crops. John Reganold says farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years, but it seems to be growing in popularity. The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia. The trees are planted among maize, millet or sorghum crops. They not only add nitrogen to the soil through their roots, but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down. At other times of the year, the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight. Mr. Reganold was one of three researchers who wrote a report about perennation. It was published in the journal Nature.32. Researchers focused their attention on small farmlands for the reason that _.A. Africa was going through a food crisisB. most farms in areas south of the Sahara Desert are smallC. there are not enough farmlandsD. farmers may grow additional crops on farmland33.
