Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of benefit than any other investment available in the developing world. Women’s education may be an unusual field for economists, but increasing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on rewards, provides an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of(剥夺)an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school — the predict becomes self-ffulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters and sons are given fair chances. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle(良性循环).
Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.

Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets (彩票). The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million .That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history .
More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80.The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.
Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.
But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化的) gambling . Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.
Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice (恶习), under the name of social progress . No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.

Word came that the government must control the spread of this disease.
“Our job,”said the 26 officer,“is to spray the wall of every house in every town and village in the malaria parts of Mexico.You may be 27 to learn that there are about ninety-nine thousand 28 villages and towns.Some are big places like the capital city, 29 are single houses deep in the forest or upon the mountaintops.The men working with our program say that most of these people 30 within districts which are 31 enough for the mala ria-carrying mosquitoes to live in and spread the disease.That 32 that we must plan to spray the bricks of 33 three million houses once or twice a year for five years.”
“We have 34 everything very carefully,”said the officer 35 .“Our advance guards have drawn 36 of some forty thousand parts of the country for 37 by the spray teams.Each house in the malaria districts has been given a special 38 so that we can work in order.The United States has given us cars and trucks to carry the spray teams and their 39 .”
“The malaria program has been 40 with the people in this country.Everyone wants to 41 .The Defense Department is helping us plan the 42 of men and supplies.The Education Department has printed sheets in Spanish to explain 43 malaria is spread.Resistance is a problem.It was in the neighboring country—the United States that such resistance to spray was first 44 .Take the 45 of the housefly and D.D.T.

“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very 1 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have 2 it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the 3 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of 4 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid 5 trouble.
I admit that we should keep 6 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your 7 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 8 to make things better.
I used to be a(n) 9 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 10 when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know 11 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher 12 me to go to the blackboard and 13 what I knew. If I had 14 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s 15 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I 16 you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as 17 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know 18 I do can make things better. Everyone is the 19 of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 20 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.
