37、2014 年 6月六級三套真題及答案解析 （官方版 ）A On the surface,Sweden appears to be a feminist paradise.Look at any global survey of gender equality and Sweden will be near the top.Family-friendly policies are its norm-with 16 months of paid parental leave,special protections for part-time workers,and state-subsidized

38、 preschools where,according to a government website,gender-awareness education is increasingly common.due to an unfficial quota system,women hold 45 percent of positions in the swedish parliament.they have enjoyed the protection of government agencies with titles like the Ministry of Integration and

39、 Gender Equality and the Secretariat of Gender Research.So why are American women so far ahead of their Swedish counterparts in breaking through the glass ceiling?B in a 2012 report,the World Economic Forum found that when it comes to closing the gender gap ineconmic participation and opportunity,th

40、e United States is ahead of not only Sweden but also Finland,Denmark,the Netherlands,Iceland,Germany,and the United Kingdom.Swedens rank in the report can largely be explained by its political quota system.Though the United States has fewer women in the workorce(68 percent compared to Swedens 77 per

41、cent).American women who choose to be employed are far more likely to work full-time and to hold high-level jobs as manangers or professionals.They also own more bus in esses,lauchmore start-ups(新倉 U辦的企業(yè) ),a nd more ofte n work in traditionally male fields.As for breaking through the glass ceiling i

43、es?A new study by clrnell economists Francine Blau and Lawrence Kahn gives an explanation.D Generous parental leave policies and readily available part-time options have unintended consequences:instead of strengthening womens attachment to the workplace,they appear to weaken it.In addition to a 16-m

44、onth leave,a swedish parent has the right to work six hours a day (for a reduced salary)until his or her child is eight years old.Mothers are far more likely than fathers to take advantage of this law,But extended leaves and part-time employment are known to be harmful to careersfor both genders. An

45、d with women a second factor comes into play:most seem to enjoy the flexible-time arrangement(once known as the “mommytrack”)and never find their way back to fu-ltlime or high-level employment.In sum:generous family-friendly policies do keep more women in the labor market,but they also tend to dimin

46、isb their careers.E According to Blau and Kahn,Swedish-style paternal（父親 的）leave policies and flexibletime arran geme nts pose a sec ond threat to womans progress:theymake employers cautious about hiring woman for full-time positions at all.Offering ajob to a man is the safer bet.He is far less like

47、ly to take a year of parental leave and then return on a reduced work schedule for the next eight years.F I became aware of the triale of career-focused European woman a few years ago when I met a post-doctoral student from Germany who was then a visiting fellow at Johns Hopkins. She was astonished

48、by the professional possibilities afforded to young American woman. Her best hope in Germany was a govermment jobprospects for woman in the private sector were dim. ”InGermany “ she told me,”wehave all the benefits, ”but employers don t wan to hire us. ”G Swedish economists Magnus Henrekson and Mika

49、el Stenkulaaddressed the following question in their 2009 study:why are there so few female top executives in the European egalitarian（平等主義的）welfare states?Their answer: ” Broad-based welfare-state policies hinder womens representation in elite competitive positions.”H It is tempting to declare the

50、Swedish policies regressive（退步 的 ）and hail the American system as superior.But that would be shortsighted.The Swedes can certainly take a lesson from the UnitedStates and look for ways to clear a path for their ambitious female careerists. But most woman are not committsd careerists.When the Pew Res

51、earch Center recently asked American parents to identify their ” ideal ”life arrangement,47 percent of mothers said they would prefer to work park-time and 20percent said they would prefer not to work at all.Fathers answered differrntly:75 percent preferred full-time work.Some version of the Swedish

52、 system might work well for a majority of American parents,but the United States is unlikely to fully embrace the Swedish model. Still,we can learn from their experience.I Despite its failure to shatter the glass ceiling,Sweden has one of the most powerful and innovative economies in the world.In it

53、s 2011-2012survey,the World Economic Forum ranked Sweden as the “ rockstar of the recovery”in the Washington Post,also leads the world in life satisfaction and happiness. It is a society well worth studying,and its efforts to conquer the gender gap impart a vital lesson though not the less on the Sw

When it came to light last year that mothers, far more than fathers, chose to stay
