Ⅳ.閱讀理解 A Millions of families around the world have been given a helping hand out of poverty by microcredits.These very small loans, usually less than US $200, have enabled the very poorest people to set up or expand businesses and bee selfsufficient. The microcredit movement started with Professor Muhammad Yunus, who founded the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.Professor Yunus, who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, used his own money to set up a bank to benefit the poorest people in Bangladesh—families living on less than US $1 a day.There are now hundreds of organizations around the world following his blueprint to help people escape from poverty. So how does the system work? Local microfinance institutions (MFIs) make contact with families and offer loans, usually to women, to enable them to start or expand a business.These are very poor people who would not normally be able to get credit, but as no collateral (抵押品) is required they can get microcredits.They pay back the loan on a weekly basis, over six months to a year. A crucial aspect to the success of the microcredit system is that receivers get local support.The MFIs educate local munities about ways to improve their lives, and offer practical support as well as collecting weekly loans payments.They encourage people to help each other, so that the whole munity can pull itself out of poverty.MFIs may also help with literacy and health problems. Microcredits are mainly given to women.Experience has shown that women are more motivated to improve their childrens lives and will spend the money they make on better nutrition and schooling for their children.This may be the first chance theyve had to contribute financially to the family, and their status in the home and the local munity is raised. The microcredit system is not charity.The payments are fixedterm loans and interest is charged.The costs of making such small loans, collecting them and giving personal support are high.This is reflected in the interest rates, which range from 15 to 35 percent.Despite this, the repayment rate is very high, between 95 and 98 percent, showing that microcredit clients really value this opportunity to leave poverty behind. 【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。無需抵押，但要支付較高利息的小額貸款可以幫助最為貧窮的人創(chuàng)建或擴大自己的生意，提高生活質量?，F(xiàn)在，世界各地成千上萬的貧困家庭正在通過這種小額借貸的方式走出貧困。 1．Microcredits are offered to the poorest people around the world in order to ________.
