Evelyn Coke spent 20 years as a home care aide helping the
elderly and the sick, but she did not live and see fair labor laws【M1】______
applied to her work.
In a case that it went to the Supreme Court in 2007, Ms.【M2】______
Coke, who died in 2009, sued her employer with years of unpaid【M3】______
overtime work. This month, the president invoked Ms. Coke’s
memory when he announced that the Labor Department had
proposed changes to the provisions which the court had based its【M4】______
decision.
At issue in Ms. Coke’s case is a 1975 labor rule that defined【M5】______
home care aides as "companions," a class of workers that do not【M6】______
qualify for federal minimum wage and overtime protections. Ms.
Coke’s lawyer, Craig Becker, argued that the rule was supposed to
apply only to occasional domestic workers, like baby sitters, not
home care aides—one of the nation’s fastest-growing occupations
and one whose duties often include feeding, bathing and dressing
clients. And the justices said that only Congress or the Labor【M7】______
Department could change the rule, not the court The new proposal
states clearly that home care aides who are employed by
third-party agencies are entitled to the nunimum wage and
overtime payment. Aides hired directly by families are also【M8】______
covered if they are engaging in housekeeping or spend more than【M9】______
20 percent of their time on activities other than companionship.
The Labor Department will finalize the proposal after a 60-day
public comment period. Some home care agencies are sure to
complain, but the Labor Department should stand firmly.【M10】______
【M10】
选项
答案
firmly一firm
解析
语法错误。从上下文分析,此处stand应该用作系动词,表示“处于某种状态”,因此其后应接形容词,构成系表结构,stand firm在此处意为“保持坚定立场”。
