17、to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague.4Our ability to cope with 40 determines happiness in life. But how do we do that? Philosophers responses have been 41 . According to the author of the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes, comfort can be found in 42 that “to everything there is a season
18、, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” Kahlil Gibran urged his listeners to “let today embrace the 43 with remembrance, and the future with longing.”A friend of mine reminds his fellow that “survivability depends upon 44 .” And a surfer summed up 45 problems in four words: “Go with the flow.”I

20、your plan，you work around themand then you move on. Of course, some 50 along the road of life are easier to take than others.

So we are members of the same club. Were both literate一 we can
33、 read and write. And we both probably feel that literacy is essential to our lives. But millions of people all over the world are illiterate. Even in industrialized Western countries, such as the UK and the USA, approximately 20% of the population have “low literacy levels“. But what exactly does th
34、at mean?My parents both left school at 14. They could read and write, but except for a quick look at the daily newspaper, reading and writing didnt play a big part in their lives. There were very few books in the house. My mother was amazed because the woman who lived next door always wrote a list o
35、f what she needed before she went to the supermarket. Why couldnt she remember? We laughed about that for weeks. Our family didnt write lists! And when I was only 14 years old my father gave me an important letter that hed written to the bank and asked me to check it for grammar and spelling mistake
36、s. And there were quite a lot. He never usually wrote letters or postcards or even Christmas cards. So when he had to write he wasnt comfortable or confident. Does that mean that my father had a “low level of literacy“? I dont think so.There are lots of different definitions of literacy. Some expert
37、s define it as having the reading and writing skills that you need to be independent in your everyday life. So, for example, if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form, 一 anything that you need to do in everyday life一then you are “functionally literate“.Other people say that you ar
38、e illiterate if you think that you are illiterate. In other words, if you feel that you cant read or write as well as you would like to.If you live in a society where most people are literate then you will feel ashamed or embarrassed and avoid situations in which you have to read or write. The fathe
39、r of a friend of mine finally admitted to his family that he couldnt read when he was 45 years old. He bought the newspaper every day 8and pretended to read it一 and believe it or not, his family had no idea.We often forget that writing is a recent invention. Many years ago, the word “literate“ meant
40、 being able to communicate well in speaking, in other words what we now call “articulate“. Story telling was an important activity in the past and still is today in some societies. Reading was often a cooperative activity一 someone would read aloud to a group, often from a religious text such as the
41、Koran or the Bible.Only a hundred years ago, in the United States, you were considered to be literate if you could sign your name to a piece of paper. It was an important skill. You were not allowed to vote if you couldnt sign the voting register, so literacy was connected with political rights, and
42、 many people were excluded from the democratic process.Nowadays we see reading and writing as being connected, but that wasnt so in the past. Many people could read, but not write. Writing was a skilled profession. If you needed something written then you paid an expert to write it for you.And of co
43、urse, rich and important people have always employed people to write things for them. Important company bosses dictated letters to their secretaries or personal assistants. And now with new computer software you can dictate directly to your computer.Being illiterate can have a big effect on peoples
44、lives. For example, a study in the UK showed that people who write and spell badly are seen as careless, immature and unreliable, and often unintelligent. So it is more difficult for them to find jobs, even when reading and writing are not necessary for the work.World-wide statistics show that liter
45、acy problems are associated with poverty and a lack of political power. More women than men are illiterate. Illiterate people have worse health, bigger families and are more likely to go to prison. So literacy campaigns must be a good thing. But dont forget that an illiterate person, or someone with
46、 a low level of literacy, isnt necessarily stupid or ignorant and may not be unhappy at all. Knowledge and wisdom isnt only found in writing.58.Why does the author give two examples in Para 2?A. To show that Father was more literate than Mother.B. To show that literacy is interpreted in different wa
47、ys.C. To indicate how important reading and writing are.D. To compare the level of literacy between neighbours.59.According to the author, the following are some of the defining features of literacy EXCETT_.9A. independent B. psychologicalC. functional D. social60.Which of the following statements a
48、bout reading and writing is CORRECT?A. Reading and writing have always been regarded as equally difficult.B. People had to read and write well in order to be allowed to vote.C. Reading and writing have always been viewed as being connected.D. Reading often requires more immediate interaction than writing.61.What do the last two paragraphs mainly focus on?A. Effects of illiteracy and employment
