Jean spent her first few years in Hooper and her family moved to Otsego early in her life. She was only ten when her father died unexpectedly, leaving her mother to raise and support their family alone. Her mother soon went to work outside the home to provide for the family, and Jean, being one of the oldest, had to help care for her younger siblings. Although she had much responsibility at home, Jean thoroughly enjoyed school and was an excellent student. She went on to graduate 10th in her class at Otsego High School in 1953. While still in high school, Jean met a young man named Charles "Chuck" Holly, at a dance in Alamo; and they were quite taken with each other. Over the next few years, their love for each other blossomed and they were married on February 24, 1953, while Jean was still in school. At the time, Chuck was serving his country in the military, and had come home on leave to marry his sweetheart. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, he was sent overseas to serve in Korea for the next fifteen months. Upon his discharge, the couple settled into married life together in the Plainwell, Otsego area. To help make ends meet, Jean went to work at the collection bureau in Kalamazoo for a while, before taking a job at the cheese company in Otsego. In 1964, Chuck and Jean were overjoyed with the birth of their son, Chuck, who brought great joy into their lives.

Education in Bolivia, as in many other areas of Bolivia life, has a divide between Bolivia’s rural and urban areas. Rural illiteracy levels remain high, even as the rest of the country becomes increasingly literate. This disparity stems partly from the fact that many children living in rural areas are forced to contribute economically to their family households and thus are much less likely to attend school. On average, children from rural areas attend school for 4.2 years, while children in urban areas receive an average of 9.4 years of education. A gender divide also exists. Females, on average, receive about 1.5 years less schooling than males. The female illiteracy rate is 19.6 % while that for males is 7.7 %. The country’s illiteracy level as a whole, 13-14%, is comparably higher than in other South American countries. The problems with Bolivia education are not necessarily attributeable to lack of funding. Bolivia devotes 23% of its annual budget to educational expenditures, a higher percentage than in most other South American countries, albeit from a smaller national budget. A comprehensive seven-year plan of education reform has made some significant changes. Initiated in 1994, the plan decentralized educational funding in order to meet diverse local needs, improved teacher training and curricula, and changed the school grade system. Resistance from teachers’ unions, however, has slowed implementation of some of the intended reforms. 26. Most of the children in rural areas in Bolivia are illiterate because ___. A. they don’t want to go to school B. they are made to stay at home to help their families C. they find it difficult to learn to read and write D. there is a shortage of teachers and schools in Bolivia 27. On average, children from urban areas attend school for ___. A. 1.5 years B. 4.2 years C. 7.4 years D. 9.4 years 28. The female illiteracy rate in Bolivia is ___. A. 7.4% B. 13% C. 19.6% D. 23% 29. The word “annual” in this passage is closest in meaning to ___. A. every four months B. every year C. every five years D. every ten years 30. Which of the following sentences is NOT true? A. In Bolivia males receive more schooling than females. B. Bolivian illiteracy level is higher than in other South American countries. C. The lack of funding is the main reason for causing illiteracy in Bolivia. 6

People use both words and gestures to express their feelings. Can you sure you really know what these words and gestures mean? After all they can interpreted in many different ways. It is true that a smile means more or less the same thing in any language, even though the things that make people smile may be very different. Laughter and crying also have universal meanings. It is equally true that there are many similarities in the ways in which humans and animals show their feelings. Dogs and tigers, for instance, show their teeth in the same way we do when we are angry. Fear and surprise are often emotions that are often shown in much the same way all over the world. Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to interpret and express feelings. Experiments in the United States have shown that women there are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and hate in people’s faces. The same studies suggest that body language - the way we suggest our feelings in our physical movements and posture - is another problem. Older people in North America seem to find it easier to interpret than younger people. Psychologists such as E.G. Beier have also shown that some people often give completely the wrong impression of how they feel. For example, they try to show affection but actually communicate dislike. When they try to show interest, it seems to others that they are indifferent. This can happen even among close 9
