Few people realize that getting pregnant can mean losing your job.
Imagine a woman who, seven months into her pregnancy, is fired from
her position as a cashier because she needed a few extra bathroom break. 1.______
Or imagine another pregnant employee who was fired from her retail job
after giving her supervisors a doctor’s note requesting she was allowed to 2.______
refrain over heavy lifting and climbing ladders during the month and a half 3.______
before her maternity leave: that’s what happened to Patricia Leahy. In 2008
a federal judge in Brooklyn ruled that her firing was unfair because her 4. ______
employers were not obligated to accommodate her needs.
We can see this kind of case in our legal clinic all time. It really 5.______
happens some day to pregnant women in the United States, and it happens 6.
thanks to a gap between discrimination laws and disability laws.
Federal and state laws banned discrimination against pregnant women 7.______
in the workplace. And amendments to the Americans With Disabilities
Act require employers to provide reasonable accommodations to disabled
employers (including most employees with medical complications arising 8.______
from pregnancies) who need them to do their jobs. But because pregnancy
itself is not considered a disability, employers are not obligated to
accommodate most pregnant workers in any way.
As a result, thousands of pregnant women are pushed out of jobs that
they are perfectly capable of performing — either put on unpaid leave
or simply fired — when they request an accommodation to help obtain 9.______
a healthy pregnancy. Many are single mothers or a family’s primary
breadwinner. They are disproportionately low-income women, often in
mentally demanding jobs with little flexibility. 10.______ [br]
选项
答案
break——breaks
解析
本题为名词误用。break用作名词,表示“休息”,是可数的。前置定语中有a few,必须和复数形式搭配使用。
