W: Let’s start with a major global problem, especially pronounced in developing countries. There are more than 200 million children who should be attending school, but simply do not because of a variety of barriers. That problem is at the center of a new UN initiative to get 57 million more children in school by the end of 2015.
With us today is former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is spearheading that effort as a special UN envoy for global education. So what do you think is at stake in this initiative?
M: I think it’s the future of a whole generation of young people. If we cannot provide today’s young people in Asia and Africa with the opportunity of education and then the chance of employment or starting a business or whatever, we are going to have the most discontented youth. We’re going to have a generational problem, because they know the opportunities that people have in other countries. They can learn about it through the Internet and through mobile phones. And they’re aware that the inequality of opportunity that they face is unfair. And I think we have seen the makings of a civil rights struggle amongst young people to get education, to stop child marriage, to stop child labor, child trafficking and sex — and discrimination against girls. And if we don’t do something about it, there’s a sort of discontent that is building up in the populations of Asia and Africa.
W: The numbers are almost impossible to comprehend. I think you have 250 million children not getting a primary education, and then you’re trying — you put down a number of 57 million you would like to get into school. How do you reduce that to something that can actually make a difference?
M: Well, 57 million children are the number of children who are not going to school today or any other day. Some of them are in child labor. Some of them are girl brides. Some of them have simply not got schools they can go to. Some of them are girls who the Taliban is preventing from going to school. But it is relatively inexpensive to pay for the education of a young child. For $6 billion, if we could find the extra funds next year, we could get almost all of these children to school. And there is no technical or scientific breakthrough that’s needed to do this. We know what it is we have got to do. We have got to get the teachers, and have the buildings, and have the educational equipment. And, of course, we want to increase the quality of education very quickly, but, at the moment, we have set a goal that, by the end of December 2015, every child should be at school. That’s the Millennium Development Goal. Everybody promised it.
And we could deliver it if we could provide these extra resources. So it is both manageable, and it’s also in my view necessary. If you make a promise, you should try to redeem it.

答案
A
解析
观点题。问题是给孩子提供教育为什么是重要的,男嘉宾说: “If we cannot provide today’s young people in Asia and Africa with the opportunity of education and then the chance of employment or starting a business or whatever,we are going to have the most discontented youth.We’re going to have a generational problem,because they know the opportunities that people have in other countries.They can learn about it through the Internet and through mobile Phones.And they’re aware that the inequality of opportunity that they face is unfair.”,由此可见,如果他们不接受教育,就找不到工作,就会成为不满的一代,因为他们能够通过手机、因特网了解到外面的世界,知道这是不公平的,所以正确答案为A。
