Question

【題目】 It was a room full of boys. A girl, about 10 years old, was sitting in the center. She was the only girl among the boys. As a tradition in her village, other girls had to stay home.

The girl, Shameem Akhtar, was born in a small village in Pakistan (巴勒斯坦). In her village, all parents keep girls inside their homes. Luckily, Shameem’s uncle, a university graduate, wanted to give her a chance to see the world. He offered Shameem a chance to attend school. However, Shameem had to fight to complete her schooling. To be allowed to enter college, she stopped eating for 3 days, which is called a hunger strike (抗議).

After graduating from college, Shameem got a position in a non -profit (非營利性的) organization aiming to help women in rural (農(nóng)村的)areas. There, she saw a Pakistan that she didn’t know. Until then, she thought she had a difficult life. But there, she saw what women in other parts of Pakistan were experiencing. Some women had 11 children, but nothing to feed them. To get water, they would walk three hours every day to get to the wells (水井). Shameem found that the position was more than just a job for her. She discovered her power. By setting an example, her experience could encourage more people to understand the importance of education and send their daughters to school.

Now, Shameem teaches in a rural school in her hometown. “The first day I walked into the school” she said, “I saw all these little Shameem looking at me with dreams in their eyes, the same dream of freedom which I had in my childhood.”

Today, there is not a single girl in her village who doesn’t go to school.

文章大意：短文主要講述了Shameem的家鄉(xiāng)最初是不讓女孩上學的。而她的舅舅想給她一個機會看看世界，于是她就上學了。畢業(yè)之后在一家旨在幫助農(nóng)村地區(qū)婦女的非營利組織任職，她的經(jīng)歷可以鼓勵更多的人了解教育的重要性，并送他們的女兒上學，最后她的村里沒有一個女孩不上學。
