2016届河南省开封市高三上学期第一次模拟考试英语试卷
Pakistani youth activist Malala Yousafzai was awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, October 10th. She is the youngest Nobel winner in history. Malala shares the prize with Kailash Satyarthi, a 60-year-old man from India who has helped lead a movement to end child slavery around the world.
Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997 in Mingora, the SwatDistrict of northwest Pakistan to a Sunni Muslim family. When she was just 11 years old, she started blogging about the Taliban take over of her hometown. Taliban members believe young girls should not go to school. Classroom sthrough out the Swat district were closed for several months. Malala spoke publicly about her desire to go back to school. “All I want is an education,”she told one television broad caster.
When the Pakistani government regained control, Malala was able to return to class. She continued to blog and speak out about girls' right to education. But on October 9, 2012, the Taliban tried to silence her. Agunman boarded her school bus and shot her on the left side of her forehead. Malala survived, and showed great courage and optimism during her long recovery. Then she became a symbol of the struggle for girls' rights all over the world.
Malala's mission for peace is unstoppable. Nine months after shewas shot, she gave a now-famous speech at the United Nations. “They thought that the bullets would silence us. But they failed,” she said. “And then, outof that silence came thousands of voice. Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.”
