特朗普曾在竞选期间承诺，上任百日内就将宣布美国退出巴黎协议，认为其对美国不公、阻碍了经济的发展（thwarted the economic growth）。但违背常理（counterintuitive）的是，美国能源公司对此并不感冒，它们越来越达成共识（increasingly come to the conclusion），政府继续参加巴黎气候协议对美国更有利。密歇根大学的霍夫曼教授认为，能源公司采取这种高调不仅有利他的考虑，而且有并非那么高尚的原因。与其短期享受本届共和党的优厚政策，却牺牲长期的公众形象和政府支持，更明智的路线是留在巴黎协议中，知已知彼进而内部削弱（weaken from within）。这就是一种很常见的商业格言。
今天的句子：

明天的句子：
The “Fearless Girl,” fists curled at her sides and face held high in seeming defiance of the giant bull galloping before her, has drawn international attention since it was unveiled last month and tapped into growing frustration around the struggle female executives face rising into leadership positions, particularly on Wall Street.

The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.
Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. The U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts -- a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job.
33.A major difference between the Japanese and U.S workforces is that __________.
[A] the Japanese workforce is better disciplined
[B] the Japanese workforce is more productive
[C] the U.S workforce has a better education
[D] the U.S workforce is more organized
今天的题目让人感到生气的地方在于:
第一段说到了：通过在职培训可以提高生产力。
于是我们有了期待觉得要选一个美国人生产力提高的选项。
但是最后发现只有：the Japanese workforce is more productive
这个选项是正确！
对应线索是：
the U.S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts
美国工人的生产率是日本工人的的95%
多么绝望的一个选项啊！
其他三个选项都不对！

When this happens, it’s incumbent on us to support them both physically and spiritually: show them respect even though they lose their temper like a child, hold them tightly when they are weak and fragile as they once did for you, and always assure them whatever happens you will be there.
当这些发生时，我们有责任在物质上和心理上支持他们：向他们表达尊重，即使他们和小孩一样乱发脾气，在他们虚弱的时候抱紧他们，总是告诉他们不管发生什么你都会在。
And this, in my view, is what family and love really entails.
这就是我心目中家庭和爱的概念。

When we were very young and vulnerable, parents hold our hands tightly to prevent us from falling, caress us out of fear in darkness and tell us stories to give us wisdom.

And yet whenever we looked into their eyes, we are always greeted with tender smiles and warm encouragement, giving us little clue of the hard struggles they may be in.
但不论我们何时看向他们的双眼，我们都会看到温和的笑容和暖心的鼓励，一点都没透露出他们可能面临的难题。
