10、requiring paid sick leave(带薪病假)for employees of federal contractors, including 300,000 who currently receive none.The White House would not specify the cost to federal contractors to implement the executive order, which Obama detailed in a speech to a major union rally and breakfast in Boston. The L
11、abor Department said any costs would be offset by savings contractors would see as a result of lower attrition rates and increased worker loyalty, but produced nothing to back that up.Under the executive order, employees working on federal contracts will gain the right to a minimum of one hour of pa
12、id leave for every 30 hours they work. Stretched over 12 months, that will add up to seven days a year. The order will allow employees to use the leave to care for sick relatives, and will affect contracts starting in 2017 just as Obama leaves office.The Obama administration has been working on the
13、executive order for months, and chose Labor Day to announce it as the president seeks to enact(颁布)what policies he can before his presidency ends, despite resistance in Congress to laws he has proposed to improve workplace conditions.That push has reverberated(回想)in the 2016 campaign, where Democrat

I had to take it home.:In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly al
21、l became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up.

38、s in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information.
