五、阅读理解。
On May 21, children in Kandahar, Afghanistan(阿富汗), met outside for a class.
A group called Pen Path runs a school that moves to different places. Pen Path helps people who can't read or write. Their words are: "Learning is the way to do well."
Pen Path helpers teach children and give them books about history and places. This group brings hope to Afghan children, especially girls. UNICEF(联合国儿童基金会) says about 3.7 million children in Afghanistan do not go to school. Sadly, 60% of these children are girls. This makes Pen Path's work very important.
Pen Path uses tents and boards to make schools. They bring books and simple desks to villages. Their helpers teach basic lessons, mostly to children who never went to school or had to dropped out of school(辍学). "We want children to hold books, not work tools," said one helper.
The work is hard. Many families need children to work. In some places, it's hard for girls to learn. Pen Path talks to village leaders to make children go to school. They believe learning is the best way to make Afghanistan's future better. Every child they teach is a small win against not knowing how to read. The UNICEF is also helping more Afghan children go to school.
