(B)
The birthrate is Europe has been in a steady decrease since the 1960s. European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.
Affairs Ministry concluded last year that,
65
cash encouragement, some women just don’t want to be
66
holding the baby. “What we know is that it’s good for the
67
if men and women share the burden of having children,” says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry.
68
Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish,
men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n)
69
day off work.
Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 70
go give young women the
permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (产假)。In January. Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months’ paid leave, with a warming: use it or
71
it.
Kindlund admits that men are under
72
to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. “It’s not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace,” he says. “But it’s good for the father and for the child if they can
73
a relationship.”
In Norway, a(n) 74
policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.

A
Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”：
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet,
when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．
Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.
