A new survey from Workingmum.co.uk has found that 49% of working mothers feel their employer actively discriminates against them. It also found that nearly two thirds of women return from maternity leave to a new job.

The survey, which questioned 2,300 mothers about their careers after children, found that 62% of them had moved to a new role within their existing company or in another organization. The survey also revealed that flexible working was seen as the most important factor in career progression for working mothers, with more than 20% leaving a company when a flexible working request was turned down.

Of those who had had their flexible working requests declined, only 13% had appealed the decision. More than half of them felt that the reasons given by their employer were unjustified. The reported showed that of all the types of flexible working, the most valued and requested was that of working from home.

This backs up findings from Workingmums.co.uk that when women changed jobs after having children location played a big factor. Moving employers to avoid a long commute or be closer to home, thereby making childcare arrangements easers to manage, played a big part in women deciding whether to return full-time to their original employer.

Gillian Nissim, founder of Workingmums.co.uk, says that the results show how important it is for businesses to think creatively about flexible working requests, rather than dismissing them.

“Some have argued that it is too expensive for businesses to move to more flexible working patterns,” she says. “But the survey demonstrates the costs of not doing so in terms of the loss of skilled staff.” Despite the government extending the right to flexible working to all employees in 2014, less than half the mothers surveyed had partners who worked part-time or flexibly. In what can be seen as an attempt to find more flexible working options, 64% of those who responded to the survey were thinking about setting up their own businesses and 65% were looking at retraining.

58. Which of the following is NOT the reason why women want to work flexibly?

A. Having enough time to tend children. B. Working less for the sake of children. C. Being able to work closer to homes. D. Spending less time to and from work. 59. Gillian Nissim’s suggests to the employers that they ________.

A. agree to the requests the working mothers make B. think about the cost of hiring some skilled staff C. dismiss whoever requests flexible working patterns D. take the flexible working requests into account 60. What can be inferred from this passage?

A. More than half of the women move to a new job after having children. B. The government has ensured working mothers the right to work flexibly. C. Working mothers consider flexible working vital in career progression. D. Most mothers would rather start their own businesses than get retrained.

It's not just homework that has some young people dreading going back to school. As students file into their classes this month, there's a whole new world of worry for young people: yoga pants. And shorts. And off-the-shoulders tops, midriff-bearing shirts, and skirts that don't pass the \

The list of banned clothing items in high schools seems to get longer every year- and the more restrictive

dress codes get, the angrier students grow. This year, hundreds of young women at high school across the United States are protesting the dress codes nearly as quickly as they are announced.

More than 200 students at Regional Technical high school in Cape Cod, which has banned yoga pants and leggings, have signed up for a Facebook event encouraging people as they are announced.

At Chicago's McHenry East and West high school, students have planned a :Show Your Shoulders\protest in response to a dress code that won't allow students to bare their shoulders.

In Ohio students gathered in opposition to Lakewood high school's dress code after one girl was disciplined for not wearing a bra.

Restrictive dress code policies are being criticized online as well as on school grounds. In Woodford Country, Kentucky, parents Stacie Dunn was shocked to find out that her daughter Stephanie Hughes was called to the principal's office on the first day of school because she revealed…her collarbones. Dunn took to Facebook to complain, writing:\missing class time.\

But it's not just the dress over 200 Staten Island students--almost all female--were given detention over dress codes, Florida students were forced to wear \this year, schools nationwide came under fire for turning away young women from parties whose outfits were considered \ The scourge of unfair dress codes is so great that MTV has published a primer for students on how to tell if their school's dress code is exist. One of the clues? If administrators say women bodies are \distracting\

The idea of dress codes to prevent distraction are fairly everywhere: the yoga pants ban in Cape Cod was chalked up to not wanting to distract male students, and the same reason was used in Staten Island and most other schools with dress codes that disproportionately target female students. (How \distracted\female students et from their learning experience by being shamed and pulled out of class doesn't seem to be a concern).

\middle-aged male teacher couldn't concentrate on teaching because of my clothing, he's the problem-- not me.\

As students fight back in high schools around the country, even younger women-- and their parents--may have a battle in front of them as well. Dress codes are starting to affect students as early as first and second

grade.

A new research study combining marine physiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and behavioral psychology has revealed a surprising outcome from increases of carbon dioxide uptake in the oceans: anxious fish.

A growing base of scientific evidence has shown that the absorption of human-produced carbon dioxide into the world's oceans is causing surface waters to decline in pH, causing a rise in acidity (酸度). This ocean acidification is known to disrupt the growth of shells and skeletons (骨骼)of certain marine animals but other consequences such as behavioral impacts have been lately unknown until recently.

In a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B (Biological Sciences), scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and MacEwan University in Edmonton, Canada,
