Shameem was born in a small village in Pakist...

Shameem was born in a small village in Pakistan. In her village, it was a tradition to keep girls inside their homes. They were not allowed to get an education.

Fortunately, Shameem's uncle, a university teacher, wanted to give her a chance to see the world. He offered Shameem a chance to attend school. So she became the only girl student in her class.

However, Shameem struggled to complete her schooling. To get permission for college, she went on three-day- hunger strike(抗议). After graduating from college, Shameem got a position in non-profit organization(非营利性组织)working to help women in rural(农村的)areas.

There, she saw a Pakistan that she didn't know. Until then, she thought she had a difficult life. But there, she saw what women in other parts of Pakistan were experiencing. Some women had 11 children, but nothing to feed them. They would walk three hours every day to get water.

Shameem found that the position was more than just a job for her. She discovered her power. By setting an example, her experience could encourage more people to understand the importance of education and send their daughters to school.

Now, Shameem teaches in a rural school in her hometown. "The first day I walked into the school," she said, "I saw all these little Shameems staring at me with dreams in their eyes, the same dream of freedom which I had in my childhood."

Today, there is not a single girl in her village who doesn't go to school.

1.Who played an important role in sending Shameem to school?

A.Her uncle. B.Her parents. C.A workmate. D.A university student.

2.Why did Shameem work for a non-profit organization?

A.To make much money. B.To finish her education.

C.To discover her power as an example. D.To help poor women in the countryside.

3.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A.Shameem walked three hours to get water. B.Shameem used to know her homeland well.

C.Women and children were short of food. D.Women's situation was more awful than expected.

4.What's the influence of Shameem's effort?

A.Girls have the same dream. B.No girl is allowed to attend school.

C.All girls in the school are named Shameem. D.The idea of girls' education in her village has changed.
