The National Assessment of Adult Literacy is the most important test of how well adult Americans can read. Researchers tested nineteen thousand people over the age of sixteen. The study represents an adult population of two hundred twenty-two million. Those who took part were tested on how well they could read and understand information used in everyday life. The study found that eleven million adults, or five percent, cannot read English. They could not answer even the easiest written questions. Four million of them most likely cannot speak English either. The study shows that more than forty percent of adults can perform. only simple reading activities. For many, even that can be difficult. Fifty-six percent of adults can perform. moderate or complex activities. Moderate can mean finding information in a book. Of that number, thirteen percent can perform. complex tasks like comparing two different newspaper commentaries(评论).
Researchers say part of the problem is that many young Americans do not read as much for pleasure anymore. Also, there are greater numbers of non-English speaking immigrants.
Reading skills can directly affect the ability to earn a living. The best readers were found to earn up to twenty-eight thousand dollars a year more than those who lacked simple reading skills.
Yet, compared to the last study in 1992, adults'reading skills were about the same or lower across every level of education. This was true even among people who have completed college. By race and ethnic group, blacks and Asians had the biggest increases in English reading skills. But levels decreased among Hispanics. Experts, say, however, that while many Hispanics are unable to read in English, they may read well in Spanish.
Overall, American adults improved the most in answering questions that involved numbers. Even so, the test found that the average adult cannot do much more than perform. simple, everyday math.
When was the article probably written？
A．Between 1992 and 2003.
B．After 1992.
C．Around 2003.
D．In 1992.

About 70 million Americans are trying to lose weight. That is almost 1 out of every 3 peop
le in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight？
点击查看答案
Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat？
Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. "The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2. 3 trillion pounds," says University of Massachusetts anthropologist(人类学家) George Armelagos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.
Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one boasts to help people to get rid of fat.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way of losing weight？
A．To eat less fats and sugars.
B．To take much exercise.
C．To have surgery.
D．To work hard.

听力原文： W: Professor Pearson, could you give us a brief introduction of the well-known e
ducational system for adult students in Sweden？
点击查看答案
M: Yes, in Swedish we call it Folkbillnin, which means the popular non-formal and voluntary educational system for all ages. Although it has been made known very recently, the system has in fact evolved over a hundred years. People in Sweden come together to study on their own conditions, to listen to lectures, and to take part in social and cultural events.
W: Do they have to register for a school course and sit for a classroom teaching as well.
M: Not exactly. All study groups are referred to as study circles, which are conducted by a larger body called study associations. It is the most typical form. of liberal adult education in Sweden. A small group of people meet regularly for a period of time, most often a night per week to study a certain subject or theme, or to take part in a cultural activity. The circle consists of five to twelve participants, of whom one is the leader. In Sweden today, there are around 350,000 study circles every year with about two and a half million participants all together. They also arrange more than 200,000 cultural events with about 15 million participants or visitors.
W: This is really a large enrollment, given the total population in your country. But how are the study circle supported？ Do you get government grants or are they privately funded？
M: Liberal adult education in Sweden is largely financed by grants from government, regional governments and local councils. The parliament has laid down the aims and conditions for granting government support. The aims are to further individuals~ own creativity, and broaden their interesting culture. Furthermore, priority should be given to such activities that aim at narrowing and bridging educational gaps and that are geared toward those who are educationally, socially and culturally disadvantaged.
19.How long has the Swedish adult educational system evolved？
20.Why do people participate in the activities of a study circle？
21.According to the man, how many study circles are them annually in Sweden today？.
22.Which of following is NOT an aim set by the parliament for the study circle？
(39)
A．Five years.
B．Fi{teen years.
C．Fifty years.
D．A hundred years.
