excellent did not tell me how it was to work with a real student however When I began to discover what other people s lives were like because they could not read I realized the true importance of reading My first student Marie was a 44 year old single mother of three In the first lesson I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn t know which bus to take When I told her I would get her a bus schedule she told me it would not help because she could not read it She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn t always remember what she needed Since she did not know words she could not write out a shopping list Also she could only recognize items by sight so if the product had a different label she would not recognize it as the product she wanted As we worked together learning how to read built Marie s self confidence which encouraged her to continue in her studies She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket After this successful trip she reported how self confident she felt At the end of the program she began helping her youngest son Tony a shy first grader with his reading She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read pride was written all over her face and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off As she described this experience I was proud of myself as well I found that helping Marie to build her self confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before As a literacy volunteer I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others In fact I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did 用心 爱心

Tall thin beauties such as supermodels may be many people s ideal of the feminine form but it may be that evolution has other ideas about what women will look like in the future This is the finding of Stephen Stearns and his team of Yale University researchers who have been conducting a huge study on 2 238 women in Massachusetts the US The scientists predict that if present trends continue women in 400 years time will be 2cm shorter a kilo heavier and have healthier hearts According to Stearns the reason is that shorter heavier women have more children than thinner taller ones and their female children and grandchildren inherit the trait Human beings are still evolving although now the reason has more to do with women s fertility than natural selection But what of men Speaking to the Yale Daily News one member of the Yale team Raju Govindaraju said that men were not being selected for better health as women were He added that the Yale team was hoping for more funding so they could do more research on male evolution Many people today tend to think that natural selection is dead and buried They say that medicine and improved living standards have made people healthier so that questions of the survival of the fittest are no longer relevant Not so according to Stearns and his team Their findings are backed up by other scientists reports Time magazine John Hawks at the University of Wisconsin and his coworkers believe they have uncovered nearly 2 000 gene variations in modern humans that allow them to drink milk defend against disease and encourage brain development The Yale study has reopened the old debate about which is more important in human development culture or biology According to some scientists the new research although valuable might mislead people into thinking that culture is not a key factor Dr Steve Jones a geneticist at the University of London told Time magazine that What makes humans what we are is in our minds in our society and not in our evolution 71 What is the article mainly about A A new finding on female evolution and the relevant debates it has caused B The difference between male and female evolution C Whether natural selection still has an effect on humans D Debate over the effects of culture and biology in human development 72 The expression are backed up in paragraph 6 can be understood as 用心 爱心 专心 9 A are opposedB are ignoredC are approvedD are supported 73 What can we infer from the article A Natural selection affects men more than women B The survival of the fittest no longer applies to the human race C Improved living standards make humans evolve faster than ever D Some gene variations help humans better adapt to the environment 74 With his words in the last paragraph Dr Steve Jones intends to A explain the outcomes and effects of the Yale study B figure out the most important factor in human evolution C stress the key role culture plays in human evolution D show how important genetics is in human evolution D Most people in business have a strong sense that meetings are demanding more and more of their
