Question

【題目】It was 6:00 on a Monday morning. With his books in his bag, 13-year-old James Mwangi was on his way to school, the Mcedo-Beijing school in a slum（貧民窟）in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi (肯尼亞首都內(nèi)羅畢). This school was built in 2001 with the help of China, for children from poor families.

After getting to school, Mwangi went straight to his class to do his class work. It is usual that pupils in this school prepare for their lessons before the teacher comes.

To study in the school was once a dream for the poor boy.His mother made a living by washing clothes for others. Some days she took home nothing, and some days she could get about $ 3 — it was hardly enough to buy them a full meal for a day.

Before joining the Mcedo-Beijing school, Mwangi was at home with his seven brothers, collecting garbage (垃圾). The school is giving these children hope for the future by providing a chance to get education.

“For me, education is the best gift,” said Mwangi.
