单选题It is estimated that some seven hundred million people--about half of the world's population are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more people whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely outlives a literacy. Recently the attack on illiteracy (文盲) has been stepped up . A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the United Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, pricelists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill informs. The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africathere are at least one hundred million illiterates, compromising(牵连) eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading tl ,c list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand).

After losing her job and home in 1984,
Lynn Carr was living on the streets of St. Charles, Montana, with her
five-year-old son. "We slept in our car for about a week," she said, "but then
it was sold." As she moved from one friend's house to another,
Carr began working toward a high-school-equivalence diploma(高中同学学历证书), listening
to self-help tapes and making cheesecakes. After developing some new methods
which she thought were pretty good, she offered her cakes to a restaurant. They
sold out in a matter of hours. The following year, she met a man
at a church service and before long, they married. Cart began selling the
cheesecakes out of their home. Later she opened a cheesecake company. As
business became better and better, {{U}}Cart didn't forget where she came
from.{{/U}} All the women she hires are mothers or high school
dropouts(退学者) -- workers most other employers wouldn't like to hire. Her dozen
workers make 100 to 150 cakes a week and Cart owes her success to her employees.
She says, "We're going to have a learning center and a day-care center in the
company. Part of the workday will be spent studying for high-school-equivalence
diplomas." Recently, a 33-year-old woman with three children to
raise was referred to Carr. She hired her at once. "It has been a real
blessing(恩赐) ," the woman said.

单选题Lipstick(口红) plays an important role in attraction and can even protect the lips from drying out in harsh weather. No wonder it's the most important thing in a woman's cosmetics(化妆品) bag. Colouring the lips is certainly not a new idea. It was practiced as early as 3 500 BC. In the past, a natural dye was used to paint lips, It was not until the 17th century that lipstick manufacturing really took off. The lipstick was made of mixtures that included pig fat and red sandalwood(檀香油). It was kept in tiny pots and applied with a colouring Stick. Lipstick was invented and first presented by Parisian perfumeries (香水制造商) in Amsterdam. But these "little red sausages" were less practical. They were wrapped in silk paper and the ends had to be broken off before each use. They also did not come cheap. Over the years the sticks became less expensive and new colours were developed. But it was not until 1950 that lipstick accidentally was reinvented -- this time by the Americans. Today there are so many types of lipsticks and shades that it is hard to keep track of them. Faced with many choices in the cosmetic departments, it is easy to forget that there is a whole science to manufacture them. The basic materials are colours, oils and waxes. But they can contain up to 30 different materials. Lipstick manufacturers have to achieve a careful balance. "You need a thicker oil to make the lipstick last longer, but a thinner one to make it easy to apply," says Cornelia Riede, product developer at Nivea Beaute in Hamburg. Different oils also provide protection for lips, preventing them from drying up. The waxes used in lipsticks must strike the right balance between strength and elasticity(弹性). And up to nine different colouring matters could be needed to find the right shade. No one today need fear dangerous materials in lipsticks. A study by a leading German consumer organization found dangerous materials such as lead or cadrnium(镉) are hardly a problem any more -- even in the cheapest products. Today, the question is whether to choose a conventional lipstick or the newest, long-lasting variety.
