17.Aqeela Asifi,who fled to Pakistan as a young woman,has spent her life teaching other Afghan refugees.
For her efforts,Ms.Asifi,who is 49,has won the 2015UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award.She also gets 100,000to help pay for her education projects.The UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award honors extraordinary service to people who have been forced from their homes.Eleanor Roosevelt,Graca Machel and Luciano Pavarotti are some of the other winners of the award.
Asifi faced many problems in Afghanistan before she fled to Pakistan.Resources were limited and education for women was discouraged.However,in Pakistan,the 49-year-old was able to bring change to her conservative Afghan community.She persuaded parents to send their daughters to school in a tent at the Kot Chandana refugee village.The village was in the Punjab Province of Pakistan.
Since then,Ms.Asifi has guided more than a thousand refugee girls through their primary education."When I began my mission to educate Afghan girls,I could not have imagined that one day it will win me this award.I cannot express my happiness,"she told VOA.
Ms.Asifi was a teacher in Kabul when she fled with her family in 1992."In Afghanistan I was teaching both boys and girls,"she told VOA."When I left Afghanistan and ended up in this refugee village with my family,I was saddened to find out there were no facilities here,particularly for women and girls."They made their home in the distant refugee community in Kot Chandana.There she began teaching a small number of students in her tent.She made teaching materials by hand.
Her tent school has led to the opening of several permanent schools in the village.These schools teach more than one thousand children.Support from the UNHCR,local government,and non-governmental organizations helped make these new schools possible.
Ms.Asifi is a mother of six children.She has worked hard to pay for their education.She spends almost all her income to pay her son's tuition to study engineering at Kabul University.
But seeking higher education for her four daughters is difficult.There is not enough money or secondary schools for girls in the village.
The Afghan teacher hopes more and more children will receive an education in Afghanistan.She hopes her home country becomes better known for higher levels of education,instead of war."I want my goal to be introduced in parts of Afghanistan where conservative traditions and customs still prevent parents from sending their daughters to outdoor schools,"she said.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 故事類文章在閱讀過(guò)程中,我們一直在某個(gè)線索的引導(dǎo)下,隨著作者的思路去了解一個(gè)故事或一件事情的始末,因此會(huì)感到比較輕松.命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關(guān)系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力. 閱讀故事類文章時(shí),應(yīng)注意把握主旨大意,弄清主要情節(jié),立足文章的內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖,根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開(kāi)合理的想象,從而達(dá)到解題的目的.
