A United Nations agency estimates that 516 million of the world’s women cannot read and write. The U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO)says programs are needed to help illiterate women learn, although they are past school age.
Women make up two-thirds of all illiterate adults. The majority of these women live in West Africa: many girls in that area never go to school. But in Liberia, a new education program is giving women in their 30s, 40s and 50s another chance to learn to read and write.
Pauline Rose heads UNESCO’s worldwide Monitoring Report on Education for All: she says being illiterate causes huge problems in daily life. She notes situations like not being able to read directions on a medicine bottle, or the number on a bus.
"So there are real practical concerns about when women are illiterate."
Miss Rose says illiterate affects not only the women but also their families, because women are often the main caregivers of children. She says when women are illiterate, they are less likely to use health services.
Some countries, like Senegal, have improved women’s literacy rates through government efforts. They tell more girls in primary school and community programs about the importance of education. But there are still many nations where less than one in four women can read and write. They include Niger, Benin, Mali and Burkina Faso.
Miss Rose says these countries need literacy programs that target women. She says there is a huge need for illiterate young women and adults to have a second-chance to read and write.
Liberia for example, has launched a second-chance literacy campaign to teach women. The students never went to school, or they were forced to leave school because of ten years of civil war in the country.
Lonee Smith is 35 years old. She is a student at the adult literacy school at the Firestone Liberia Natural Rubber Company in Margibi County. Her parents did not send her to school, and she could not read or write.
Now she is in the first grade and has those skills. She sells her goods at the market and can now count her profit without help. She says having a second chance at education has changed her life.
"Today, I am a happy woman. I’m very proud."
Liberia’s Ministry of Education says 5,000 women currently study in adult literacy programs across the country.
16. What do we learn about women and illiteracy from the lecture?
17. What problem might illiterate women encounter?
18. What does Senegal do to improve women’s literacy rates?
19. What do we learn about Lonee Smith?
选项
A、Failure in reading medicine directions.
B、Incapability of taking care of children.
C、Broken family relationship.
D、Reluctance in using health services.
答案
A
解析
根据录音,不能读写使女性在日常生活中遇到很多实际困难,比如说无法阅读药品说明书(not being able to read directions on a medicine bottle),A项“不能阅读药品说明书”与录音相符。录音明确提到,女性是主要照顾孩子的人(main caregivers of children),故B项“不能照顾小孩”错误。C项“家庭关系破裂”并没有在录音中提到。原文提到不能读写的女性使用医疗服务的可能性更低,但这只是出于其文化条件的限制,并非主观的“不情愿”(reluctance),故D项错误。
