Mr. Miyazaki is the first ever male lawmaker in Japan to request time off when his child will be born in February.
    For a country known for its male-dominated business culture, Japan offers, as the OECD puts it, "by far the most generous paid father-specific entitlement".
    New fathers—if employed—are entitled to 52 weeks of paid leave and they would earn nearly 60% of their salary. In comparison, the UK offers 2 weeks paid leave with a fifth of their average salary and the US doesn’t offer any.
    But only 2.3% of those qualified took it in Japan last year. The government wants to raise it to 13% in 5 years.
    "It is still a long way off so I thought by declaring that I want to take paternity leave as a lawmaker, I could set an example and cause a bit of a stir," said Mr. Miyazaki.
1 What does Mr. Miyazaki do?
2 Which country offers the shortest paid leave to new fathers?

选项 A、A businessman.
B、A doctor.
C、A full-time father.
D、A lawmaker.

答案 D

解析 题目询问Mr.Miyazaki的职业。新闻一开始提到,他是日本有史以来第一位提出休产假的男性议员(male lawmaker),所以他的职业是就是议员(lawmaker)。
