ould not be confused with the problem of illiteracy, that is, the inability to read and write. Current United Nations (UNESCO) figures indicate that 99 percent of all Americans are literate, the same figure assigned to nations such as Britain, Germany. Functional illiteracy, by contrast, is concerned with how much difficulty people have in actually using and writing skills in everyday situations. This might be interpreted, for example, as the relative ability to understand federal income tax forms, or printed instructions, or how well someone can write a letter of complaint, or apply in writing for a job.

There are no agreed-upon definitions of what functional illiteracy is and, in practice, definitions vary widely. For many years, reading tests have been used throughout the country which define reading ability by grade level. "Tenth-grade reading level" for instance, would be the average reading score of all pupils who have completed ten years of school. There are, of course, many different reading tests and types of tests. One definition of functional illiteracy holds that anyone is "illiterate" who reads at less than an eighth-grade level. Another common definition uses a twelfth-grade level (the last year of high school in the U.s.)

There seems to be general agreement that at least one-tenth of all Americans arc functionally illiterate in English to some degree. It is also hardly surprising that those nations which (like the U. S. ) have paid most attention to this concept, and which have nation-wide testing, have found the greatest problems. As one educator humourously put it, "Reading tests cause illiteracy". Canada, for example, which also has a large non-English-speaking immigrant population, has recently found that many of her citizens, too, are functionally illiterate. The attention given to this problem, therefore, reflects the fact that in North America schools as well as pupils are continually tested.

What does "illiteracy" in line I mean？

A．Ability to read and write.

B．Ability to appreciate literature.

C．Lack of interest in literature.

D．Inability to read and write.

ave a language of their own. We are unaware of our gestures and body movements 99 % of the time, but other people can notice our gestures and movements if they pay attention and may know what they mean.

Note that body language applies not only to the interviewer but also to the interviewee. Also note that these gestures may happen throughout the conversation and they change as the conversation progresses.

The objective of paying attention to nonverbal communication is to help you change the direction of the conversation. If the person is showing negative gestures, then you need to change the subject by asking a new question or talking about something else.

So, during a job interview, you can watch for the following gestures:

Crossed arms it means that the person is in a defensive and reserved mood.

Crossed arms and legs it means that the person feels very reserved and suspicious.

Open arms and hands it means that the person is open and receptive.

Standing before you with his hands inside the pockets it means he is not sure or feels suspicious.

Standing before you with his hands on his hips it means he is receptive and ready to help you out.

Sitting in a chair shaking one of his legs it means he feels nervous and uncomfortable.

His eyes are downcast and face turned away it means he is not interested in what you are saying.

The palm of the hand holding or stroking his chin it means he is in an evaluating position and being critical.

Leaning back in his chair with both hands clasped behind his head it means he is in an analytical mood, but it is also a gesture of superiority.

Rubbing or touching his nose when answering a question it means he is not telling the complete truth.

Maintaining good eye contact and he smiles in a relaxed and happy way it means he is definitely receptive to you.
