Part 2: Read the passage and answer the questions:

Alice Walker has written book of poetry and short stories, a biography, and several novels She

is probably best known for her novel The Color Purple, published in 1982 The book vividly

narrates the richness and complexity of black people – especially black women – in Georgia in the 1920s and 1930s Although the novel came under bitter attack by certain critics and

readers, it was applauded by others and won both the American Book Award and the Pulitzer

Prize for fiction It became a bestseller, selling over 4 million copies, and it was made into a

successful film by noted director Steven Spielberg The novel reveals horror, drudgery, and joy

of black life in rural Georgia It gets much of its special flavor from its use of the words, rhythm, and grammar of Black English and from its epistolary style Telling a story through letters was a narrative structure commonly used by eighteen-century novelists, but it is not often used in

reader from the events described by the letter writer, The Colour Purple used the letter form to draw the reader into absolute intimacy with the poor, uneducated, but wonderfully observant

UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized

We have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at basic level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality That makes us unique among world

organizations, and unique among those working with the young

We believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress

UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child's path We believe that we

can, together, advance the cause of humanity

We advocate for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the

youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person's future

We promote girls' education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum –

because it benefits all children, both girls and boys Girls who are educated grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children

We act so that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases, and are well

nourished, because it is wrong for a child to suffer or die from a preventable illness
