Amiya Olden could have been a poster child for a reading crisis that affects nearly 2 million Michigan residents older than 1 6：They read below a sixth-grade level，which makes it difficult to find jobs and to improve their lives．Among them，Amiya is one．
Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High school．She handed her diploma to her mother，who read it to her．“Then when someone asked me to read it，I could remember the things she read，and I knew what I had to say，”recalled Amiya Olden．“When we would go out to restaurants with my aunts，and that is when I really would get upset．1 would see words on the menu but I couldn’t read! ”
But don‘t feel sorry for her. She changed her life by reaching a point where she’d read enough．Two summers ago，she took charge of her life when she walked into Pro Literacy Detroit to improve her reading．Nineteen months ago，she was reading at a second-grade level；now at a fifth-grade level．
Olden now splits her days between her classes at Pro Literacy and the library，where she checks out books and reads them．She says she hopes her improved reading skills will help her find a good job．
And she has advice for others，who have trouble reading．
“Don’t give up on it，”she said．“Even though it can be challenging and you might get frustrated sometimes，practice does help．If you really want to be able to go somewhere，go out to a restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that，you want to know what you want to eat and where you want to go．．．If you want to succeed in life and grow，you have to read．More important，you have to feel confident that you can．”

residents older than 16: They read below a sixth-grade level, which makes it difficult to find jobs and to

Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High school. She handed her diploma
to her mother, who read it to her. "Then when someone asked me to read it, I could remember the things
she read, and I knew what I had to say," recalled Amiya Olden, "When we would go out to restaurants

read!"
But don't feel sorry for her. She changed her life by reaching a point where she'd read enough. Two
summers ago, she took charge of her life when she walked into Pro Literacy Detroit to improve her reading.

Olden now splits her days between her classes at Pro Literacy and the library, where she checks out
books and reads them. She says she hopes her improved reading skills will help her find a good job.
And she has advice for others, who have trouble reading.
"Don't give up on it," she said. "Even though it can be challenging and you might get frustrated
sometimes, practice does help. If you really want to be able to go somewhere, go out to a restaurant and
you have to read signs and things like that, you want to know what you want to eat and where you want
to go... If you want to succeed in life and grow, you have to read. More important, you have to feel
confident that you can."

查看习题详情和答案>>ballet lessons, scouts meetings, soccer and softball practices surround their normal school schedules.
However, one person is very important in the logistics of how these children are able to get from swimming
practice to French lessons: The Soccer Mom.
The Soccer Mom is a very important stereotype in American suburban life. The phrase Soccer Mom was
first created in 1995 and broadly refers to a married middle-class woman who lives in the suburbs, works
outside the home and has school age children. Much of her time is spent managing her children's schedules
and transporting them to sporting events and other activities. The image of the Soccer Mom conjures a busy
woman who drives a minivan large enough to contain her children, their friends and their sporting equipment.
Once they arrive at the sporting event or other activity, the Soccer Mom will stay to watch, serving granola
bars and juice to their children after their game or activity is finished.
In America, the roles of mother and of career woman demand opposite responsibilities from a woman.
The role of a career woman is to work hard and climb the corporate ladder, while the role of mother often
asks women to put her family's interests ahead of her own. The Soccer Mom attempts to straddle this divide,
at once balancing her children and their activities with her own life outside her family. The Soccer Mom
becomes overburdened with the weight of responsibilities A 1999 poll states that being stressed out is one of
the most frequently mentioned characteristics of a Soccer Mona. Yet without Soccer Moms, who would fill
the responsibilities of getting children to where they needed to be?
B. The American Family
C. Minivans the Realm of the Soccer Mom
D. Soccer Moms in American Society
B. buying things for their children
C. pushing their children to achieve
D. a successful career
B. Because they work and have children.
C. Because they push their children to achieve.
D. Because their husbands are lazy.
B. Works outside the home.
C. Has young children.
D. Brings juice to soccer games.
B. Having a career as a woman.
C. Advancing your career.
D. Working in a ladder factory.
