million Michigan residents older than 16:They read below a sixthgrade level,which makes
it difficult to find jobs and to improve their lives.Among them,Amiya is one.
Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High School.She
handed her diploma to her mother,who read it to her."Then when someone asked me to
read it,I could remember the things she read,and I knew what I had to say," recalled
Amiya Olden."When we would go out to restaurants with my aunts,and that"s when I
really would get upset,I would see words on the menu but I couldn"t read!"
But don"t feel sorry for her.She changed her life by reaching a point where she"d read
enough.Two summers ago,she took charge of her life when she walked into ProLiteracy
Detroit to improve her reading.Nineteen months ago,she was reading at a secondgrade
level；now at a fifthgrade level.
Olden now splits her days between her classes at ProLiteracy and the library,where
she checks out books and reads them.She says she hopes her improved reading skills
will help her find a good job.
And she has advice for others,who have trouble reading.
"Don"t give up on it," she said."Even though it can be challenging and you might get
frustrated sometimes,practice does help.If you really want to be able to go somewhere,
go out to a restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that,you want to know
what you want to eat and where you want to go...If you want to succeed in life and grow,
you have to read.More importantly,you have to feel confident that you can."

showing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.By
contrast,only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20
years ago,research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows.
It also found that grownup sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with
their parents in their late 20s.
With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home,the findings are bound
to lead to the claim of a "generation of mummy"s boys"．
Rising housing prices,increasing student debts and the effects of depression on the job
market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age
when they would normally________.
Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been called the "boomerang
generation" because of the trend toward returning to the family home.
Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice likely to choose to
live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.

While the percentage of those of university or college age moving out from the family
home has continued to rise in the last 20 years,among those in their mid and late 20s the

As computers become all the morepopular in China, Chinese people areincreasingly
relying on computer keyboardsto input Chinese characters. But if they usethe computer
too much, they may end up
forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese characterwhen writing on paper. Experts
suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing,students start using a computer
as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide-spread among
university students. Almost all their assignments and essaysare typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use acomputer.
It"s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. Andthat"s why computers are
being applied more and more oftento modern education. But when people are taking
stock incomputers increasingly, problems appear. "
When I"m writing with a pen, 1 find I often can"tremember how to write a character,
though I feel I"mfamiliar with it. "
"I"m not in the mood to write when faced with a penand paper. "
Many students don"t feel this is something to worryabout. Now that it"s more convenient
and efficient to writeon a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think
differently. Shi Liwei, theheadmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said"Chinese
characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的 )value.But those character styped
with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artisticbeauty of the
characters is lost. And handwriting containsthe writer"s emotion. Through one"s handwriting,
peoplecan get to know one"s thinking and personality. Beautifulwriting will give people a better
first impression of them. "
To encourage students to handwrite more, manyprimary schools in Beijing have made
writing classescompulsory(必修的 ) and in univery,ities,some professors areasking students
to turn in their homework and essayswritten by hand.

say 100 million more could go hungry this year because of the food and financial crises.
To deal with the situation, the UN World Food Program has started a project to help small farmers.
These farmers are mainly women.Many cannot produce enough food even to feed and support their own
families.
The new effort is called Purchase for Progress, or P4P.It aims to connect local farmers with
dependable markets.That way, they could get a chance to sell their surplus (剩余) at competitive prices.
P4P will be tested in as many as 21 countries during the next five years.
The biggest contributor to the project is Bill Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Another donor (捐款者) is the Howard Buffett Foundation, led by a son of the American investor
Warren Buffett.The government of Belgium is also supporting the project in a former colony (殖民地),
now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Together these donors have provided more than 76 million dollars for projects in Africa and Central
America.
Purchase for Progress will work with United Nations agencies, governments and nongovernmental
organizations to help increase crop production.The World Bank Group and other partners are to help
train farmers in better crop management and marketing skills.
The World Food Program says it expects to buy 40,000 tons of food in the first year using methods
carried out by the project.That will be enough to feed 250,000 people.
P4P is expected to develop food cooperatives and longterm agreements for buying corn, wheat and other
food crops.About 350,000 farmers could be assisted.
Officials say the project will change the way the World Food Program buys food in developing
countries.Executive Director Josette Sheeran says this is the first time her agency will buy a large amount
of food from small farmers.The agency has traditionally bought most of its food from developing
countries, but through larger trading organizations.

often indicate that there is indeed a shortage.
One symptom is the vacancy rate, or the percentage of budgeted positions that are unfilled. New
England"s hospitals currently report that an average of 7 to 12 percent of their registered nurse positions
are vacant, the highest level since the last shortage in the late 1980s. Vermont has a relatively low
vacancy rate, at 7.8 percent. But its vacancies were at 1.2 percent just five years ago.
Another symptom is the increased use of stopgap measures to fill empty positions. For instance, many
nurses report an upswing in how frequently they are asked to stay past their shifts. According to Murphy, working in the St. Elizabeth"s Hospital, "The shortage has definitely created a lot of opportunities of
overtime for our nurses, whether they want them or not." Similarly, a national survey of registered nurses
shows that in an average week, nurses in the U.S. work 2.4 more hours than they are scheduled to.
Much of this extra time is voluntary, as nurses earn overtime pay when they stay to fill in blanks in the
schedule.
When they can"t fill open positions by more traditional means, health care providers hire temporary
staff to tide them over. Travelling workers are the largest part of the temporary health care workforce,
hired for thirteen-week reduction at health care facilities facing short-term lack of workers. Temporary
workers, mainly nurses, cost hospitals $ 7.2 billion in 2000.
"Any successful solution to the shortage depends on convincing more people to become nurses, and
that is not an easy goal to reach. To achieve it," says Buerhaus, "society needs to place more value on
nursing. Legislation (法规) can"t do that - it should come from people." And if this continues, we might
have to learn to care for ourselves in the hospital.
B. meet the need for nurses in the hospital for a short time
C. should work on a weekly basis and on a scheduled timetable
D. ought to work passively for thirty continuous weeks
B. To ask the government for help to work out specific legislation.
C. To publicize the past achievements of nurses.
D. To make people aware of the importance of being a nurse.
B. Decrease
C. Increase
D. Figure
B. Indifferent
C. Doubtful
D. Optimistic
