“Kids can make a difference,” Craig Kielburger said when he was 12. Craig is now in his twenties, and he still believes it’s true. He started a group to help kids all over the world at the age of 12. The group is still going strong.
How did Craig get started? In seventh grade, he learned something that made him angry. It was about a Pakistani boy who started working in a crayon factory at the age of 4. The child worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. He couldn’t go to school or play. He had no freedom at all.
Craig compared that with his own life. Laws in Canada said that kids must go to school. Education was free to all kids. But in Pakistan, education was not free. Children from poor families went to work instead of going to school. Feeling this was unfair, Craig and his classmates started “Free The Children”. Their goal was simple: raise money to build schools and give working children education. At first, some kids laughed at them, saying they couldn’t make real change. But Craig didn’t give up.
Today, “Free The Children” has more than one million members in 45 countries. Most of them are kids. The money they have raised has helped build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places.
Now Craig wants more kids to help. He believes every young person can make big changes. “Start small by talking to your teachers and friends. When you take action and gain more confidence(自信), others will join you. It gets easier when you work together.”

【解析】
19. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Feeling this was unfair, Craig and his classmates started “Free The Children”. Their goal was simple: raise money to build schools and give working children education.”可知，Craig创办该组织是为了帮助贫困孩子获得教育，对应选项D。A（想出名）、B（想去巴基斯坦）、C（想和更多孩子玩）均未提及，排除。

21. 推理判断题。Craig看到不公平的事就创办组织帮助贫困孩子，还坚持发展壮大，说明他善良且乐于助人，对应选项A。B（耐心害羞）、C（勇敢诚实）、D（勤奋仔细）均不符合文中描述，排除。
22. 主旨大意题。文章围绕Craig从小行动（12岁创办组织）带来大改变展开，最后一段也提到“every young person can make big changes”，故最佳标题为“Small Actions, Big Changes”，选B。
