二、阅读理解。
In the small villages of Kenya, Africa, most kids want to read books. But no roads go to their homes, only miles and miles of sand. Cars and trucks are not useful, so library books arrive on the backs of camels. Camels can handle the sand and the books. Two camels, a camel driver, and a librarian walk to the villages together. One camel carries about 180 kilos of books, and the other carries a tent. At each village, the librarian sets up the tent and shows the books to the kids inside. Two weeks later, the camels come back with books.
Some people in the mountains of northern Thailand get books in a different way. Their "libraries" are carried by elephants. These animals can handle the difficult journey. Because they are large, they can carry many books in metal cases. The metal protects the books from the heavy rains that fall in the area.
Indonesia has its own difficulties. The country has over 17,000 islands. Most people travel by boat and they also carry their books by boat. A library boat holds about 500 books in boxes. Boxes of books are left in villages and are traded for new books a few weeks later.
For people who live far and can't get to a library, a library that comes to them brings more than books. It brings a whole world of information.
