Jody Williams was born in Vermont in 1950.Like many teenagers of her generation，she became devoted to the idea of peace while being against the war in Vietnam when young.
In late 1991，Bobby Muller，president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation，called Williams to see if she was interested in working together to ban (禁止) landmines worldwide She was glad to make use of the opportunity to persuade non-governmental organizations to support this worthwhile idea.Millions of landmines remain buried in the ground in countries around the world long after the wars in which they were used have ended.
In October 1992，the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was formally set up.The ICBL called for an end to the use，production，and trade of landmines.As the campaign’s leader，Williams wrote and spoke widely on the landmine problem and the need for a total ban.
Together with Shawn Roberts，she wrote a book that described the hidden costs of landmine use，such as the long-term effects of landmines.The landmines mean that people cannot travel or work safely.Land goes unused，causing unemployment and poverty (贫穷)．There is also the huge cost of treating landmine victims (受害者)．
Their efforts were rewarded in 1996，when a meeting hosted by the Canadian government agreed to write out an international treaty (条约) banning landmines.In December 1997，the treaty was signed，with the support of 122 countries.In five years，Jody Williams and the ICBL have achieved their goal of introducing a landmine ban.The Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee awarded Williams and the ICBL the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year.

In the 1940s，Lena Home was the first African-American in Hollywood to sign a long-term contract with a major movie studio.Her deal with MGM stated that she would never play the role of a servant.During this period，African-American actors were mostly limited to playing servants or African natives.
But this refusal also limited her movie career.Home was generally only offered the role of a nightclub singer.Her characters did not interact with white characters in these movies.This way，her part could be cut from the version of the movie that played in Southern States.
Lena Horne later wrote that the movie producers did not make her into a servant，but they did not make her into anything else，either.Lena Horne once said that World War Two helped make her a star.She was popular with both black and white servicemen.She sang on army radio programs and traveled to perform for the troops.During one event，she noted that German prisoners of war were permitted to sit closer to the stage than black soldiers.These experiences led to Lena Horne’s work in the civil rights movement.
She protested racial separation at the hotels where she performed.She took action so that she and her musicians would be permitted to stay in those hotels.Black musicians at the time generally stayed in black neighborhoods.Lena Horne also sang at civil rights gatherings.She took part in the March on Washington protest in 1963.It was during this event that Martin Luther King Junior gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.
Lena Horne performed in a strong and expressive way.One expert said she was not warm and amiable like white female singers at the time.Instead，she was a fierce black woman.

In the 1950s，she moved to New York and started to work more on her writing.She heard Dr Martin Luther King speak in 1960 and began organizing different benefits for Civil Rights.In 1961，she began to play a large role in the Civil Rights Movement and is remembered for her work around the country.
She later moved to Ghana with her son and worked in the University of Ghana’s School of Music and Drama.It was there that she became close friends with Malcolm X．She returned to the US in 1964 to help Malcolm X with a new Civil Rights movement.Shortly after she returned to the US，Malcolm X and Dr King were both assassinated (暗杀)．To deal with the deaths of her friends，she wrote her first book，I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings，which finally made her famous around the world.The 1970s were some of her most productive years as a writer，poet，as well as a singer.

One in four primary schools still have no male teachers，despite rising numbers of men entering the profession (职业)，new figures show.
In total，around 4,000 primary schools in England have no registered (注册的) male teachers，the General Teaching Council for England (GTC) said，though the numbers have dropped by 130 schools this year.
GTC chief executive Alan Meyrick said：“These figures suggest little change in the long-term imbalance between the numbers of men and women，both in the profession as a whole and in school leadership roles.”
Previous government statistics have shown that a third (32%) of men working in primary and nursery schools are in senior leadership roles，compared to 16% of women.
Mr Meyrick added：“We need to attract teachers and choose tomorrow’s leaders from the widest possible pool，including both men and women，so that children can benefit from the greatest talent and experience.”
Education Secretary Michael Gove said more men are needed in teaching to provide youngsters with male role models.
In a speech he said：“We need more male teachers—especially in primary schools—to provide children，who often lack male role models at home，with male authority figures who can display both strength and sensitivity (灵敏)．”
Mr Gove added that the government’s plans to start a “troops to teachers” programme，aimed at turning members of the army into teachers，will help increase the numbers of male role models in schools.
71.According to the passage，________primary schools in the UK had no registered men teachers last year.
A．about 4130 B．about 3870
C．about 1280 D．about 640
72．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Men missing in primary schools
B．Women missing in leadership roles
C．More teachers needed in primary schools
D．Men teachers are more popular in schools

74.In Paragraph 4，the author supports his idea by________.
A．quoting the experts
B．providing survey results
C．raising questions and answering them
D．offering his own experience as an example
