    ▲ Growing up as one of three girls I’ve always been keen on women’s issues.And now with three daughters to raise,I have the responsibility of ensuring that they grow up without any preconceived(预想的) ideas of their capabilities & potential based on their gender.Earlier this year I read an article that indicated that women surpassed men in the workforce for the first time in history.That is a milestone! And while we still don’t have equality in leadership positions or pay (especially if you’re a mom),we have made significant progress over the past couple of decades.All this prompted me to do some digging around to see what else I could learn.Here are some fun facts from the census bureau for you:

●29% of women aged 25 or older had obtained a bachelors degree in 2008 vs.18% in 1987.

●55% of all college students were women in the Fall of 2008.

●60% of women 20 years or older participate in the workforce today vs.34% in 1950.

●14% of the armed forces were women in 2008.compared to 2% in 1950.

    ▲We’re all looking to stretch the value of our dollar as much as possible.Every day as you juggle the needs of your family,remember to eat right,take your vitamins and keep up with laundry and bills-you probably also look for budget friendly,family appropriate activities.A day trip to a national park is a great way to explore all the wonders of nature,without breaking the bank.Once or twice a month,my wife and I will prepare for a leisurely hike in one of our favorite parks close to home.The night before,she makes some homemade granola and I make sure our reusable water bottles are full and on ice.Next time you’re looking for an inexpensive adventure that your family isn’t soon to forget,take a hike!

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population was made up of mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems, both legal and educational, for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.

  Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.

  One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.

  Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions(规定) of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.

64. What can be implied from the first paragraph?

  A. Before the 1980s, the homeless population mainly consists of children.

  B. Urban schools are seriously short of academic facilities.

  C. Many homeless children gather in inner cities.

  D. Homeless children are deprived of the opportunity to receive free education

65. The National Coalition for the Homeless believes that the number of homeless children is ___

   A. 350,000       B. 440,000        C. 3,000,000     D. 220,000

66. The reason why one part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate might be that ___

  A. the homeless children are usually making a living by themselves

  B. the homeless population is growing very fast.

  C. some homeless children are abandoned by their families

  D. the homeless children usually don’t attend school regularly

67. The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ____________.

  A. all homeless people are allowed to receive a good education

  B. there is an increasing number of homeless children in America

  C. it is necessary for homeless children to be counted as children
