As the world prepares to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day on March 8, a new report details the progress and challenges girls face in getting an education.The report – from the Education for All Fast Track Initiative – highlights the importance of girls’ education for economic(经济的) and social development. It follows progress in Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Mauritania, Mozambique and Niger.
Prema Clarke, author of Fast-tracking Girls’ Education, says, “Progress for girls’ education is that they can leave their homes, leave their families and come to a place to study and to learn. And that’s a big achievement because otherwise these girls have to stay at home, looking after their brothers and sisters, doing the cooking or doing the cleaning.”
She says progress toward the Millennium Development Goals and those of Education for All “is allowing and enabling girls and forcing countries to look at this issue(问题) and to ensure that interventions (干预) help girls attend school.”
Benefits
Improving education for girls brings many benefits, says Clarke. “It means that girls can then enter the workforce. They can look after their own families much more effectively. They can prevent child death rate. They can educate their own girl children when they begin to expand their own families.” Studies show that having an educated female population helps to improve a country’s health and economic well-being.
Warnings
The report says, “In developing countries, too many girls are not in school, and many girls face continuing health risks and danger just walking to class.”
“Especially in the fragile and post-conflict countries and in many of the African countries, this is a real issue,” she says. Till now, the interventions have been so focused on providing schooling and providing teachers, etc. And now I think there is much more expanded focus on looking at specific（特定的）communities of girls within at-risk groups that now need much more specific attention and much more creative solutions(解决方法) to help them attend school.”
1.The underlined word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. shows B. stresses C. remarks D. improves
2. According to Clarke, improving education can provide girls with all the opportunities EXCEPT _______.
A. to educate their own girl children B. to prevent child death rate
C. to enter the workforce D. to study abroad
3.This passage is intended to _____.
A. promote the progress in girls’ education
B. talk about the benefits of improving girls’ education
C. give some information about the education girls are facing
D. sing high praise for the girls’ education
4.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the girls’ educational situation in developing countries is still serious
B. girls were free to go wherever they wanted to in the past
C. there are enough teachers in most of the African countries
D. International Women’s Day was first celebrated on March 8 in 1900

MAY 14 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel(以色列). Many Israelis, however, are not in the mood to celebrate.
Looking at the damage to her neighbor's home from a Palestinian（巴勒斯坦） rocket, Batia Katar, a 17-year-old Israeli girl, was in tears. "We can't celebrate (Israel's) independence when things like this are happening," she said.
What is clear is that Israel is not a normal country. The country has a dramatic (戏剧性) history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60 years. Within hours after it was established in 1948, Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land. It won that time, and in 1956, 1967 and 1973, acquiring the West Bank, the Golan Heights, Gaza and east Jerusalem. For good or ill, Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries. However, it occupied much more land than the United Nations agreed, which left local Palestinians homeless.
Different from all its neighbors in religion, Israel is also far more successful economically than its neighbors. Though, it gets a great amount of support from America and other Western countries. The country is now a world leader in many industries, such as IT and modern agriculture.
However, conflict exists, just like 60 years ago. And the signal of peace is as weak as ever. Palestinian militants (武装人员) have fired more than 7,000 missiles from Gaza, mainly at Sedro, killing 13 people. In the same period hundreds of Palestinian civilians in Gaza have died in Israeli military action.
In order to create peace, the world community hopes both sides accept and follow the Middle East peace plan. Optimists believe through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations there will finally be peace.
Both Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace without explosions that remind them that they are living in a special but dangerous place.
1. Why are many Israelis not in the mood to celebrate the both anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel? Because ________.
A．the government didn't organize it
B．they are too busy to attend it
C．it is dangerous to celebrate it
D．conflicts and fights still exist
2. The underlined word established in the fourth paragraph means ________.
A．defeated B．founded C．attacked D．accepted
3. Israel is not a normal country because ________.
A．the country has a dramatic history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60 years
B．within hours after its establishment, Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land
C．it occupied much more land than the UN agreed, which left local Palestinians homeless
D．all of the above
4. Which statement about Israel is NOT true according to the passage?
A．It became a country in 1948.
B．It is different from all its neighbors in religion.
C．It is now a world leader in many industries, such as IT and modern agriculture.
D．No country has supported it since it was founded.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．it is still a question mark whether Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace
B．Israel was created as a homeland for homeless Jews
C．for good or ill, Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries
D．Israel is far more successful economically than its neighbors
