IV. READING: (1m)
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Direct attacks on illiteracy take two main forms, adult education and the establishment of public
schools with compulsory attendance for children. In many countries, there are certain programs
which have been instituted to fight adult illiteracy; and universal public education has almost
eliminated illiteracy among the young. Soldiers have been appointed effectively as instructors for the
public.
Throughout most of history most people have been illiterate. In former society, the ability to read
and write was of value only to clergy and aristocracy. The first known reference to “literate laymen”
did not appear until the end of the 14
th
century. Illiteracy was not seen as a problem until the end after
the invention of printing in the 15
th
century. The first significant decline in illiteracy came with the
Reformation, when translation of the Bible into the vernacular became widespread and Protestant
converts were taught to read it. Revolutionary political movements from the 18
th
to the 20
th
century
generally included an attack on illiteracy as one of their goals, with the former Soviet Union, China,

and Cuba being among the most successful in the 20
th
century.
