Laura Bush has never sought the spotlight. She is dedicated to a handful of causes——literacy, women’s health but for the most part has left the politicking to her husband. But as the second term begins, the First Lady can’t be missed. She’s leveraging her high profile to draw the nation’s attention to an entrenched problem: the plight of at-risk kids especially boys who fall victim to gangs. Next is her recent talk on helping America’s Youth initiative:
... In almost every case girls’ statistics are better than boys’. More women are graduating from college. More women are going to college. About 57 percent of this last year’s graduates were women, and 58 percent of masters’ degrees were women. And, you know, we already know, of course, without knowing the real numbers, that boys are more likely to be involved in gangs, they’re more likely to end up in jail, they’re more likely to commit crimes or to actually have a crime committed against them. And all of those statistics are alarming. I also think that we’ve bought in, in our country, to the stereotype about boys that boys don’t cry and boys should be totally self-reliant, that somehow they don’t need the same nurturing and protection that girls get. And we all know intuitively, that that’s wrong, you know, that all children, boys and girls, need protection and nurturing.
I know there is something we can really do about it, and part of it is just paying attention to it, for there to be a national focus on what we can do for boys, getting the word out to parents so that they also don’t just act upon the stereotype that we have of boys.
There are a lot of ways we can approach the problem. Obviously school districts can, by using the money that [President Bush] has proposed in his budget for middle schools and high schools to incorporate reading so that we can bring students’ reading level up. The students who drop out usually axe the ones who can’t read or who are reading so far below their grade level that they are both frustrated and embarrassed to stay in school. So that Works on one part of the problem, the dropout problem.
I think that we will have a summit on it probably in the fall.., and all sorts of policy people who are interested in this sort of policy will be invited to-school superintendents from around the country, you know, everyone who has a stake in the success of children in our country, those groups will be invited to it. And I suspect that staff members of congressmen and senators will come and hear about it, and then maybe, you know, we would go on from there.
We can infer from the passage that the First Lady _______.
选项
A、pays much attention on children’s problem.
B、values American boys over girls.
C、likes reading books.
D、used to be school teacher.
答案
A
解析
推理题。选项B:values American boys over girls(重男轻女)和C:likes reading books(热爱阅读)以及选项D:used to be a school teacher.(过去是学校教师.),在文中没有涉及,只有选项A文章中有所体现,所以A是正确答案。
