GWD28-Q25 to Q26:
Many politicians, business leaders, and scholars discount the role of public policy and emphasize the role of the labor market when explaining employers’ maternity-leave policies, arguing that prior to the passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993, employers were already providing maternity leave in response to the increase in the number of women workers. Employers did create maternity-leave programs in the 1970’s and 1980’s, but not as a purely voluntary response in the absence of any government mandate. In 1972, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruled that employers who allowed leaves for disabling medical conditions must also allow them for maternity and that failure to do so would constitute sex discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As early as 1973, a survey found that 58 percent of large employers had responded with new maternity-leave policies. Because the 1972 EEOC ruling was contested in court, the ruling won press attention that popularized maternity-leave policies. Yet perhaps because the Supreme Court later struck down the ruling, politicians and scholars have failed to recognize its effects, assuming that employers adopted maternity-leave policies in response to the growing feminization of the workforce.

我觉得lz的字体有些小。。嘿嘿
这篇阅读很奇怪，读懂了，却做不对题。。而且都不明白。sigh
26题我选了A，但答案却是D
希望有nn可以指教一下！
这句是关键，这句以后文章都在说employers是怎么被动地承认接受的，虽然他们arguing prior to the passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993, employers were already providing maternity leave
increasing feminization of the workplace 作者是没有给出相关的态度的 因此不对
Many politicians, business leaders, and scholars discount the role of public policy ...
可这些都不是author啊，一般是这样的选项必然有前面一个谁的一本书或者一个学者怎样，我不选C就是因为politicians, leaders, scholars作者这样general的举例意在说明这些都是普遍的观点
当然D我也不觉得特别好...
Q25 C

A. Government policy is generally unaffected by pressures in the labor market.
B. The impact of a given government policy is generally weakened by sustained press attention.

P，BL，S认为：女工人数量增长
-> ML政策实施
就是评估(驳斥）第一句中的那些人的观点（an author)
C 是 right
