28、 unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more people whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely outlives a literacy.Recently the attack on illiteracy (文盲) has been stepped up . A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris,
29、 as part of the United Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, pricelists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the
30、 significance of the information gathered, and to fill informs.The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africathere are at least one hundred million illiterates, compromising(牵连) eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure

36、rally connect with living things. Of course, it is true that a tot of animals sleep, but scientists are not certain that primitive (原始的) forms of animal life like worms ever really sleep. On the other hand, animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep that a human bei
37、ng needs depends on age, tile individual and possibly race.

There are cases of old people who only sleep between 2 and 3 hours a day and cont
38、inue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements Of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep fewer hours than Europeans.It is not known whether mental activity (except dreaming) occurs when a person is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some peopl
39、e can wake up at a particular time. There are also stories about scientists who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious (潜意识的) minds continue working on the problem.Some types of nightmares are quite common: the dreamer is falling from a tree; or an animal is running after
