It was a room full of boys. A girl, about 10 years old, was sitting in the center. She was the only girl among the boys. As a tradition in her village, other girls had to stay home.
The girl, Shameem Akhtar, was born in a small village in Pakistan (巴勒斯坦). In her village, all parents keep girls inside their homes. Luckily, Shameem’s uncle, a university graduate, wanted to give her a chance to see the world. He offered Shameem a chance to attend school. However, Shameem had to fight to complete her schooling. To be allowed to enter college, she stopped eating for 3 days, which is called a hunger strike (抗议).
After graduating from college, Shameem got a position in a non -profit (非营利性的) organization aiming to help women in rural (农村的)areas. There, she saw a Pakistan that she didn’t know. Until then, she thought she had a difficult life. But there, she saw what women in other parts of Pakistan were experiencing. Some women had 11 children, but nothing to feed them. To get water, they would walk three hours every day to get to the wells (水井). Shameem found that the position was more than just a job for her. She discovered her power. By setting an example, her experience could encourage more people to understand the importance of education and send their daughters to school.
Now, Shameem teaches in a rural school in her hometown. “The first day I walked into the school” she said, “I saw all these little Shameem looking at me with dreams in their eyes, the same dream of freedom which I had in my childhood.”
Today, there is not a single girl in her village who doesn’t go to school.
1.Why couldn’t other girls attend school when Shameem was young?
_____________________________________________________________________________
2.Who helped Shameem achieve her dream to go to school?
_____________________________________________________________________________
3.How was the women’s life in other parts of Pakistan?

4.Where does Shameem work now?

5.Are the girls allowed to go to school in Shameem’s hometown now?
