The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44yearold single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule (时刻表), 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 couldnt 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 (标志)，she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read build Maries selfconfidence (自信心), 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 selfconfident 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 selfconfidence 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.文章大意：本文讲述了去年夏天“我”参加扫盲志愿活动的事。在这期间，“我”遇到Marie，并教她识字。后来，Marie发生了巨大变化，她找回了自信，还可以乘汽车去购物，帮儿子辅导功课1What did the author do last summer?AShe worked in the supermarket.BShe helped someone to learn to read.CShe gave single mothers the help they needed.DShe went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.答案：B这是一道细节题。文章第一段第一句告诉我们，作者去年夏天参加了扫盲志愿活动，教人如何读书。2Why didnt Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?ABecause she liked to walk to the supermarket.BBecause she lived far away from the bus stop.CBecause she couldnt afford the bus ticket.DBecause she couldnt find the right bus.答案：D这是一道细节题。由第二段第三句可判断出Marie到超市不乘公共汽车的原因是她不知道应该乘哪路公共汽车。3How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?AShe knew where the goods she wanted in the supermarket.BShe asked others to take her to the right place.CShe managed to find the goods by their looks.DShe remembered the names of the goods.答案：C这是一道细节题。根据第二段倒数第一句中的“only.by sight”可知Marie根据货物的外表来找自己所需的货物。4Which of the following statements is true about Marie?AMarie could do things she had not been able to do before.BMarie was able to read stories with the help of her son.CMarie decided to continue her studies in school.DMarie paid for her own lessons.答案：A这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段可排除B、C、D。排除B是因为不是在儿子的帮助下；排除C是因为不是在学校学习；排除D是因为教育是免费的(由文章第一句可知)。系列资料
