PART B: READING TASK 1: Read the article about Ruth Simmons.

An Amazing Woman
Ruth Simmons was born in a very poor family. Today, she's the president of a famous American university. How did she do it? It's an amazing story. The story begins on a farm in Grapeland, Texas, in 1945. Ruth was born that year. Her parents were farmworkers, and she was the youngest of their twelve children. They weren't able to give the children many things, and Ruth never had any toys. For Christmas, she didn't receive any presents at all except a shoebox with an apple, an orange, and some nuts. However, in Grapeland, Ruth wasn't really aware of being poor. Then the family moved into the city, to Houston. In the city, being poor was much harder. Ruth's mother kept the family together. She had no education, "but she was very wise," Ruth remembers. "She taught us about the real value of being a human being, what mattered and what didn't matter." Ruth's mother didn't have big dreams. She just wanted to see her children grow up. This was not a simple wish. At that time, there was segregation in the United States. Life was dangerous for African Americans, especially in the South. Ruth remembers living in fear. "If you looked at someone the wrong way, you could be killed." At age five, Ruth fell in love with school. She was a bright child, and she was lucky to have some excellent teachers. No one in Ruth's family had much education, but her teachers encouraged her to go to college, and Ruth was brave enough to try. They also gave her money and even a coat to wear. At first, Ruth studied theater. But what kind of career could she have? She says, "Remember I grew up in the South; I couldn't even go to theaters." So she studied languages instead. Later, she married, had two children, and began a career as a college teacher and administrator. Soon people began to notice her and respect her abilities. In 1995, Ruth became president of Smith College, a famous American college for women. Ruth was the first African American to lead a college like this one. Suddenly, her story was on TV and in newspapers all over the country. Six years later, she accepted another challenge. She became the president of Brown University. Ruth believes in the power of education. "Learning can be the same for a poor farm kid like me as it is for the richest child in the country. It's all about cultivating one's mind, and anybody can do that. So it doesn't matter what color your skin is, it doesn't matter how much money your father has, it doesn't matter what kind of house you live in. Every learner can experience the same thing." As President Simmons will tell you, education can change your life.
