单选题Many Brazilians cannot read. In 2000, a quarter of those aged 15 and older were functionally illiterate (文盲). Many 26 do not want to. Only one literate adult in three reads books. The 27 Brazilian reads 1.8 non-academic books a year, less than half the figure in Europe and the United States. In a recent survey of reading habits, Brazilians came 27th out of 30 countries. Argentines, their neighbors, 28 18th. The government and businesses are all struggling in different ways to change this. On March 13 the government 29 a National Plan for Books and Reading.

单选题States are considering major changes in prepaid college tuition programs - raising prices, restricting participation of canceling them - as they grapple with financial woes. Nationwide, families will likely have to pay more to participate, or accept that they might not cover tuition when children go to college. Colorado has closed its prepaid plan to new investors and told existing ones that it may not cover future tuition increases. Wisconsin stopped selling its plan Dec. 20. Maryland and Illinois are among states hiking prices by 20% or more. Prepaid plans let parents lock in tuition by paying for it now, protecting them against rising costs. But the hear market has hurt investment returns, leaving the plans unable to keep up with big increases in tuition. So far, Colorado is the only state that has told participants their investments may not cover tuition, and no plan has missed a payment. Other states have said they will fulfill obligations, even if it requires a legislative bailout. Still, the financial problems have forced thousands to grapple with uncertainty - something prepaid plans were designed to avoid. More than 1 million families have an estimated $ 8 billion invested in the plans, says ＜ Saving for College. com ＞. Some states, including Colorado, may replace the prepaid plan with a guaranteed investment contract, a CD-like investment that"s backed by an insurance company. Investors get a minimum rate of return, but no guarantee that it will cover tuition. Wisconsin"s EdVest program is encouraging investment in a stable value fund, which is similar to a guaranteed investment contract, in its investment plan. Wisconsin"s prepaid plan never guaranteed to cover tuition inflation. It also never got a lot of investors, possibly because it lacked that guarantee. In Florida, a task force is considering limiting the state"s prepaid program to low-income families. Ohio officials are also looking at limiting participation, but it"s a measure they hope to avoid. "Program administrators are looking for alternatives," says Andrea Feirstein, a state-plan consultant. Maryland recently boosted its prices by up to 30%; Illinois by up to 23%. The increases have made some prepaid plans uneconomical for parents of older children. In Ohio, the price of one year"s tuition for a child over 12 months old is $ 8, 000, more than 40% above current tuition at Ohio State. SO it may not be a good deal for children starting college in three or four years because tuition may not jump that much that fast.

单选题 Gender and Brain Men and women do not think in the same ways. Few would disagree with that. Men have better motor and spacial abilities than women, and more monomaniacal (偏执狂的) 28 of thought. Women have better memories, are more 29 , and are better at dealing with several things at once. According to the traditional idea, in the days of hunting and gathering, men spent more time 30 away from camp, their brains needed to be adapted to find their way around. They also spent more time tracking, fighting and killing things. Women by contrast, 31 up the children, so their brains needed to be adapted to enable them to manipulate each other's and their children's emotions to succeed in their world. According to the study of Ragini Verma from the University of Pennsylvania, the left and right sides of the brain are believed to be specialised for logical and intuitive (直觉的) thought 32 . In her view, the cross-talk between them in women helps explain their better memories, sociability and 33 to multitask, all of which benefit from the hemispheres (半球) 34 . In men, by contrast, within-hemisphere links let them focus on things that do not need 35 inputs from both hemispheres. Dr. Verma's other main finding is that most of these 36 are not inborn. Rather, they develop with age. Gender differences in brains—those 37 to this technique, at least—thus manifest themselves mainly when gender itself begins to matter. A. ability E. complex I. exceedingly M. sociable B. annual F. cooperating J. patterns N. visible C. assembly G. differences K. raised O. wandering D. brought H. educated L. respectively
