17、ublished in 1900. Its theme is that people need a place where they can escape the grind of daily life.

18、e worked for a firm supplying coffee-making equipment. Shortly after working there, Schultz noticed that a company in Seattle was buying a surprisingly large amount of the firms equipment, and he decided to investigate. It turned out to be a simple coffee-bean store, but its owners were committed to
19、 teaching the public to appreciate good coffee. This store in Seattle opened in 1971 and took its name from Starbuck, a sailor in the classic novel Moby Dick. Its logo was a two-tailed mermaid (美人鱼）。 Fascinated by its owners commitment to coffee, Schultz joined Starbucks. Later, on a trip to Europe,
20、 he was impressed by the way that street cafs in Italy were both meeting points and places to drink espresso. This was something American didnt have yet. In 1985 Schultz started his own coffee-bar business,which soon became a success,Two years later, he got together with some other investors and bou
21、ght Starbucks for US $ 3. 8 million.Adopting the the name and logo,Schultz developed a marketing strategy that turned ordinary cafs into fashionable outlets for coffee. He used clever tricks,such as selling coffee inshort, “tall ”and“grande size rather than the usual small,medium,and large.Customers
22、 learned to pronounce unfamiliar Italian names like latte and macchiato. Schultz actually created a market that hadnt existed before.

C Jerome H.Powell,the Federal Reserve chair, suggested on Wednesday that improved child care support policie
27、s from the government might help pull more women into the labor market. “Our peers, our competitors, advanced economy western countries, have a more built-up function for child care, and they wind up having much higher labor force participation for women,” Mr. Powell said, “We used to lead the world
28、 in female labor force participation, a quarter-century ago, and we no longer do. ” But Mr.Powell did voice qualified support for a few broader ideas. He made it clear that the labor market remained far from healed, that the pandemics economic outcome has largely hurt women and minorities since the
29、winter of 2020, and that both Congress and the central bank have a role to play in supporting working-class families until the economy has recovered more fully. As Mr. Powell implied, adult women in the United States hold jobs or look for them at lower rates than women in some other major advanced e
30、conomies, such as Canada or Germany. Research has suggested that the change may be linked to child care policies. In a 2018 paper that asked why the share of Canadians who work or look for jobs had climbed even as United States labor force attachment had fallen, researchers at the Federal Reserve Ba
31、nk of San Francisco pointed out that most of the gap owed to different outcomes for women.And they pointed to caregiving policy differences as a likely reason. “Parental leave policies in Canada provide strong motivation to remain attached to the labor force following the arrival of a new child, the
32、 paper, written by the San Francisco Fed president,Mary C. Daly,and co-authors,pointed out.“The contrast between the motivations Canada and the United States offer prime-age workers to remain attached to the labor force is clear.” The fact that child care responsibilities fall heavily on women in th
33、e United States has come under a brighter spotlight during the pandemic, which has shuttered schools and disproportionately left women bearing added child care responsibilities during the traditional workday. 28.What can we learn from the second paragraph?
