Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Nearly eight hundred million people in this world cannot read orwrite, most of them in developing countries. Two-thirds are women and girls.
John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign （運(yùn)動(dòng)）, has opened 1650 schools and 15000 libraries in some of the world's poorest communities（社區(qū)）. He said that from the beginning, Room to Read'sgoal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries.
In 1998, on athree-week vacation journey in Nepal, Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his schoolin a far mountain village. The experience changed Wood's life.
"This headmaster had 450 students at the school, but he didn't have any books," Wood said. "He had a library that was empty."
Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village one year later with some of his friends with 3000 books. And that was just the start. Later, Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read. He believes that world change begins with educated children. Today, the programme can be found in 10 countries across Asia and Africa.
Wood believes the key to the program's success is local support. While Room to Read gives away money and provides books, communities offer land and parents help build the school. Agnes, a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library, is proud to say the literacy' at her school has improved. Room to Read's biggest challenge is the huge need. Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy prograrnmes. One way of Room to Read's success is that it will achieve Wood's goal of reaching 10 million kids by 2015, five years earlier than it is planned.
