22、My parents both left school at 14. They could read and write, but except for a quick look at the daily newspaper, reading and writing didn't play a big part in their lives. There were very few books in the house. When I was only 14 years old my father gave me an important letter that he'd written to the bank and asked me to check it for grammar and spelling mistakes. And there were quite a lot. He never wrote letters or postcards or even Christmas cards. So when he had to write he wasn't comfortable or confident. Does that mean that my father had a ‘low level of literacy (读写能力)’? I don't think so.

There are lots of different definitions (定义) of literacy. Some experts define it as having the reading and writing skills that you need to be independent in your everyday life. So, for example, if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form — anything that you need to do in everyday life — then you are ‘functionally literate’.

If you live in a society where most people are literate then you will feel ashamed and avoid situations in which you have to read or write. A friend's father finally admitted to his family that he couldn't read when he was 45 years old. He had bought the newspaper every day and pretended to read it.

Being illiterate can have a big effect on people's lives. Worldwide statistics show that literacy problems are associated with poverty and a lack of political power. More women than men are illiterate. Illiterate people have worse health, bigger families and are more likely to go to prison. So literacy campaigns must be a good thing. But don't forget that an illiterate person, or someone with a low level of literacy, isn't necessarily stupid or ignorant (无知的) — and may not be unhappy at all. Knowledge and wisdom isn't only found in writing.

【1】What do we know about the author's father?

A. He read a lot.   B. He rarely wrote.

C. He couldn't write.   D. He bought many books.

【2】What does the author say about “functionally literate” people?

A. They are usually mind readers.

B. They can read between the lines.

C. They are mainly dependent on others.

D. They are able to read and write to survive.

【3】Why did the friend's father buy the newspaper regularly?

A. To keep his secret.

B. To be fashionable.

C. To enjoy the daily news.

D. To further his study

【4】What is literacy irrelevant to according to the author?

A. Health.   B. Poorness.

C. Influence.   D. Happiness.

23、 In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale". Jean was heartbroken and ashamed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream. "Girls can't become airline pilots; never have, never will. You're crazy. That's impossible. "Finally Jean gave up.

In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was a Mrs. Dorothy Slaton, a demanding teacher with high standards. One day Mrs. Slaton asked this question: "If you had unlimited finances, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream.

The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean's life. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don't go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough."

The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Jean felt thrilled and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said.

So Jean did. It didn't happen overnight. In her l0 years of hard work, even facing varieties of laugh, frustration and opposition, she never gave up her dream. Instead, she went on doing everything her third-grade teacher said was fairy-tale.

Eventually, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for the United Airline Company.

24、Self-management refers to self-control, which is a sign of inner strength. There is no one easy or simple way to learn it, as everyone’s mind works differently from another. 【1】 Here’s a list of ways to develop self-management skills.

Have goals

If something is important enough for you, it should be written down somewhere as your goal. Whether it is losing some weight or finishing a course with a certain grade, having a goal to reach is important for your motivation. It provides you a reason why you’re doing something or not doing something. 【2】

Set a schedule

Daily or weekly schedules gives you more of a feeling that things are being accomplished. Students who set schedules for themselves tend to be a bit more organized and aware of everything   that is happening   around   them. 【3】 For   example, they usually like studying for a few hours now and then they can hang out with their friends later.

【4】

If you fail to hit your goals, adjust your goals to make up for your past mistakes. Take a step back and assess (评估) what you are doing and change it. It’s okay not to reach goals, as long as you can acknowledge it and make positive changes towards meeting your   goals. 【5】 But sometimes you just fall short. Knowing that it’s   okay and that you can move on is all the motivation you’ll need to pick yourself back up.
