  In the late 1980’s there were an estimated 17 to 20 million illiterate adults in the United States, along with several million more whose ability to read was minimal.

  The problem of extensive adult illiteracy first came to the attention of the United States government during World War Ⅰ, when as many as 30 percent of the men enrolled into the armed forces were found to be either illiterate or barely able to read.In 1929, more than ten years after the war, President Herbert Hoover, created the United States Advisory Committee on National Illiteracy.With the beginning of the Great Depression the committee ceased to function, and little education was paid to the problem, until well after World War Ⅱ.

  Since the 1960s adult illiteracy has bemme a focus of government and private institutional attention.The damage caused by the problem is not only the individual deprivation among those who cannot read.The consequences for society and the economy are enormouse.The burden of welfare and unemployment benefits is huge, and the cost of lost productivity are even greater.This increasing complexity of the emnomy and the need for specialized training in so many areas threaten to keep illiterates permanently out of the job market.Illiteracy tends to be passed from one generation to another, since adults who cannot read are unable to help their children learn to read.

  To combat adult illiteracy President Lyncon Johnson started the Adult Basic Education Program in 1964.In additior to government assisstance there are hundrds of privately funded programs for eaching adults.Much adult training material that students need to know to get job certification.They want to know how to read want ads and how to fill out job applications.There is often no appreciation of reading for its own sake.

     Nearly 600,000 Americans lost their jobs this past month, pushing the nation's unemployment
rate to 7.6 percent. But not all of those fired workers are sitting at home, reading the want ads
and waiting for the phone to ring.  Thousands are returning to school, making public colleges
and universities among the few bright places in a disappointing U.S. economy.
     For example, when many Americans have had their work hours decreased, or even lost their
jobs, Sherian Huddleston in charge of the enrollment (注册) of new students at Middle Tennessee
State University(MTSU) is working overtime. The university's population grew by 800 students this
term--an increase of 4 percent over last spring's registration. Huddleston says seeing enrollments
rise in a failing economy is not unexpected. "When people are out of jobs," she points out," they
will look at 'What else can I do?" What other career can I follow?' and they will often go to school
or return to school if they have not previously completed their degree."
     Older returning students aren't the only ones increasing enrollment at Middle Tennessee State.
Huddleston says she's also seeing an increase in student transfers. "Students who previously went
out of state to more expensive schools, or even in state to more expensive, maybe private schools,
because of the economy those students may be transferring to public schools, the state schools, to
make the most of the lower cost of attending," she explains.
1. According to the passage, many students return to school ______.
A. to find a new job
B. to read the want ads
C. to complete their degree
D. to turn to their schoolmates for help
2. Which of the following is TRUE of Sherian Huddleston?
A. She is not surprised when seeing enrollments go up.
B. She doesn't think it a good idea to transfer to public schools.
C. She is puzzled by those students who return to school.
D. She thinks returning to school is a good way to save the falling economy.
3. Many students are transferring to public or state schools mainly because
A. public or state schools provide better education
B. public or state schools offer better jobs
C. they don't want to get affected by the falling economy
D. they want to bring down the expense
4. Which can serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Falling American Economy
B. College Enrollment Up in a Depressing Economy
C. College Admit More Students Than Before
D. More Students Prefer to Return School
