閱讀理解

　　In the late 1980’s there were an estimated 17 to 20 million illiterate adults in the United States, along with several million more whose ability to read was minimal．

　　The problem of extensive adult illiteracy first came to the attention of the United States government during World War Ⅰ, when as many as 30 percent of the men enrolled into the armed forces were found to be either illiterate or barely able to read．In 1929, more than ten years after the war, President Herbert Hoover, created the United States Advisory Committee on National Illiteracy．With the beginning of the Great Depression the committee ceased to function, and little education was paid to the problem, until well after World War Ⅱ．

　　Since the 1960s adult illiteracy has bemme a focus of government and private institutional attention．The damage caused by the problem is not only the individual deprivation among those who cannot read．The consequences for society and the economy are enormouse．The burden of welfare and unemployment benefits is huge, and the cost of lost productivity are even greater．This increasing complexity of the emnomy and the need for specialized training in so many areas threaten to keep illiterates permanently out of the job market．Illiteracy tends to be passed from one generation to another, since adults who cannot read are unable to help their children learn to read．

　　To combat adult illiteracy President Lyncon Johnson started the Adult Basic Education Program in 1964．In additior to government assisstance there are hundrds of privately funded programs for eaching adults．Much adult training material that students need to know to get job certification．They want to know how to read want ads and how to fill out job applications．There is often no appreciation of reading for its own sake．

[　　]

A．

the number of illiterate pmple reached the highest in history
