Section 0: .
The benefits of educating girls are enormous. By empowering women within their
families and communities, education enables women to contribute more fully to the
social and economic development of their society. A girl's education is also an investment
in the future generations; the more educated a mother is, the more likely are her children
educated.

Section 1: ________The educational level achieved by women has the most powerful
influence on the family size is strongest and most consistent for women who have
completed some secondary education. Educating girls is three time more likely than
educating boys to lower family size. Education appears to affect family size in many
ways. More educated women not only want fewer children than less educated ones, They
are slso more likely to marry and have children later, contributing to the smaller family
size.

Section 2: ________Unfortunately, in many low-income countries, investment in

education has not kept up with the rapidly increasing school-age population. Many
developing countries cut social spending during the 1980s, putting more responsibility
and families for financing education. Direct costs such as school fees, transportation,
uniforms and books make it more difficult for poor families to educate all their children
and parents in many countries give priority to sons.

Section 3: ________Parents may see limited economic benefits in educating daughters. In

many countries, girls are more likely than their brothers to be kept home to perform
household chores, including caring for younger children. For these and other reasons,
including early marriage and pregnancy, dropout rates for girls also tend to be higher than
those for boys. In some cultures, parents are reluctant to allow their daughters to travel
long distances to school, to be taught by male teachers and to enroll in schools without
separate activities for girls.

Section 4: ________Efforts to increase female enrolment levels must recognized the

complex factors limiting educational opportunities for girls, as well as their continued
enrolment once within the school system. Building more schools is often important to
expand educational opportunities for girls. But specially in poor countries, more efficient
use of existing resources for education could make possible the enrolment of more girls.

Section 5: ________Hiring more female teachers and providing separate facilities for
girls can help to overcome cultural barriers. In some countries, financial assistance such
as scholarships for girls has also proved successful in encouraging parents to keep their
daughters in school. Flexible school schedules can help to accommodate girls who have
to work at home.

VIII. Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D .

Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in
season. Drying, smoking and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the
availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to
prevent spoilage. However, in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed
the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail
Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and
condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low
because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned
stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all
kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.

Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary
their daily diets. Growing urban population created demand that encouraged fruit and
vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and
meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods.
Thus, by the 1890’s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western
strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six
months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store
perishables. As easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the
1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most
of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and
remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat
mainly foods that were heavily in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could
afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable
fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Causes of food spoilage B. Commercial production

of ice

C. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet D. Population movements in the
nineteenth century.
