Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
I was introduced to the concept of literacy animator in Oladumi Arigbede’s ( 1994 ) article on high illiteracy rates among women and school dropout rates among girls, According to Arigbede, literacy animators view their role as assisting in the self- liberating development of people in the world who are struggling for a more meaningful life. Animators are a family of deeply concerned and committed people whose gut-level rejection of mass human pauperization (贫民化) compels them to intervene on the side of the marginalized (是处于社会边缘). Their motivation is not derived from a love of literacy as merely another technical life skill, and they accept that hteracy is never culturally or ideologically neutral.
Arigbede writes from her experiences as!an animator working with women and men in Nigeria. She believes that literacy animators have to make a clear choice about whose culture and whose ideology will be fostered among those with whom they work. Do literacy educators in the United States consider whether the instruction they pursue conflicts with their students’ traditional cultures or community, or fosters illiteracies in learners’ first or home languages or dialects and in their orality
Some approaches to literacy instruction" represent an ideology of individualism, control, and competition. Consider, for example, the difference in values conveyed hnd represented when students engage in choral reading versus the practice of having one student read out loud to the group. To identify as a literacy animator is to choose the ideology of "sharing, solidarity, love, equity, co-operation with and respect of both nature and other human beings"~ Literacy pedagogy that matches the animator ideology works on maintaining the languages and cultures of millions of minority children who at present are being forced to accept the language and culture of the dominant group. It might lead to assessment that examines the performance outcomes of a community of literacy learners and the social significance of their uses of literacy, as opposed to measuring what an individual can do as a reader and writer on a standardized test. Shor ( 1993 ) describes literacy animators as problem-posing, community-based, dialogic educators. Do our teacher-education textbooks on reading and language arts promote the idea that teachers should explore problems from a community-based dialogic perspective
The author suggests that literacy educators in the US in a way______.

A.promote students’ home languages
B.force students to accept their culture
C.teach nothing but reading and writing

A "sanitized" description of a hacking attempt or other incident—one that doesn’t reveal the name or information about the victirn—can be shared with the other members to spot trends. Then a more detailed description also can be sent to the FBI’s compute’: crimes unit to interfere if there are grounds for an investigation. Cyber crime has jumped in recent years across the nation, particularly in hotbeds of financial commerce and technology like Charlotte. "Ten years ago, all you needed to protect yourself was a safe, a fence and security officers," said Chris Swecker, who is in charge of the FBI’s Charlotte office. "Now any business with a modem is subject to attack." FBI agents investigate computer hacking that disrupted popular Web sites including; Amazon. com, CNN and Yahoo!Several North Carolina victims have been identified this year. The investigation has also identified computer systems in North Carolina used by hackers to commit such attacks. Prosecutions of hackers have been hampered by the reluctance of companies to report security intrusions for fear of bad publicity and lost business. Meanwhile, too many corporations have made it too easy for criminals by sacrificing security for speed and accessibility. Jack Wiles, who will lead the local InfraGard chapter’s board, said a recent report estimated 97 percent of all cyber crime goes undetected. Wiles, a computer security expert, has a firewall on his personal computer to prevent hackers from getting into his files. "I get at least one report a day that somebod was trying to get into my computer," he said, "the Net is a wonderful place, but it’s also a dangerous one.\
