One of the most important surprises of parenthood for me was that the physical time spent with my children satiated not only their need for love but also my own hunger for human touch. In loving them, I was loved. In holding them, I was held. In raising them, I rose up.

We have bee a disconnected society. We often connect more with others via social media、e-mail and text than face-to-face. Our younger generation seems lost in the technological void and they often struggle with even the simplest of in-person munication. We must teach our children the powers of touch, kindness of words and connection with ourselves that cannot happen if we have a blue screen perpetually in front of our face.

We are powerful beings, we humans. As parents we can provide power for our children with our words and with our touch. May we teach our children the significance of small kind gestures, simple human touch and connecting with humanity on a personal level. May we reach out to another person as often as we reach out for the smartphone in our pockets. 65. From the first paragraph we can know that the author .

China is expected to see a record high number of college graduates in 2018 as around 8.2 million students will obtain their degree this year, according to the latest statistics from Ministry of Education. The number of college graduates in China has been rising since 2001, which leads to a more petitive employment market.

However, besides fierce petition, many graduates admit that they face another big problem-employment discrimination. A research in 2018 shows that around 75.7 percent of new graduates said they were, to some extent, discriminated or suffered from injustice when finding jobs.

Female college graduates still face great wall of discrimination in the employment market. “Males only”, “Married with children preferred”: These are some of the conditions monly found in recruitment (招募) advertisements. According to a research by Renmin University of China in 2018, male college graduates do have more interview opportunities than female college graduates despite the similar academic background and work experience.

Regional discrimination also bees a barrier for job seekers. Some panies dismiss job seekers from specific regions due to the regional stereotypes (成见), like “Central China’s Henan Province is the cradle of liars” and “people from Northeast region are usually rude.”

Recruitment advertisements sometimes also show favor for local applicants. Non-locals had been denied jobs because their registered residence origin was not the same as the city where they were hunting for a job.

Apart from “invisible thresholds (门槛)” like gender and region, college graduates in recent years were disappointed to find that personal details like superstitions (迷信) about blood type, zodiac, and facial structure were all part of the decision-making process by some potential employers.

An applicant’s surname can also help or hamper (妨碍) job prospects. A family name that suggests prosperity, like Jin, which means “gold”; while a last name like Pei, which can mean “to lose money”, would likely be negative. Besides, job seekers also found that some employers paid much attention to their appearance rather than the working performance.

To fight against employment discrimination, both the government and society have made great efforts. In 2007, Employment Promotion Law was passed with the purpose of apposing employment discrimination and promoting justice in job recruitment.

The Ministry of Education in 2018 issued regulations to ban work discrimination in on-campus job fairs. This year, several cities, bureau of human resources required job fair organizers to set special reception desks so as to deal with job seekers, plaints about discrimination.

Non-profit organizations were established to oppose work discrimination, while legal aids were also provided to job seekers through social media platforms like Weibo and WeChat.

81.请认真阅读下面有关我国 “全民阅读”的相关文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

BEIJING, March 15 (Xinhua) — Premier Li Keqiang on Sunday called on the Chinese people to read more and promised that the policy of encouraging reading will again be part of next year’s government work report.

“Reading is what I enjoy the most in my spare time. It makes me feel wealthy, and it has been the most rewarding experience in my life,” he told reporters after the conclusion of the annual legislative (立法的) session.

It is worrisome, however, that the average per capita (人均) amount of reading in China is only one-tenth of that of some other countries in the world, Li said.

“I hope that our people could foster a love of reading, and our people’s amount of reading could rise. It is a very important symbol of further cultural and social progress.”

Reading can not only unlock potential for innovation, but also enhance civic morality, he said, adding that encouraging reading will be part of next year’s government work report again after featuring it for two consecutive (连续的) years.

This year’s government work report, which Li delivered to national lawmakers on March 5, said China will “ensure that more outstanding works of literature and art are created for the people to enjoy, and encourage a love of reading in all people to build a nation of avid readers.” [写作内容]
