阅读下面短文,完成有关任务。

     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 (贫民窟) in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi (肯尼亚首都

内罗毕). 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.
