三、阅读理解。
There are about thirty million homeless children in the world now. And the number is still increasing. They make livings by brushing shoes, selling newspapers, begging(乞讨) and even stealing. They have brought too much trouble to the cities and towns.
Now things are getting better and better, especially in the countries of North America. The governments of these countries have already done something to help them. “Street Volunteer Teachers” play an important part in it.
Most of these teachers are young people. They grow up in these streets and have the same experience. They know what the children think about and what they need. They sympathize(同情) with the children and pay great attention to them. These teachers teach the children in kind and lively ways according to their special characteristics (性格). They never punish(惩罚) the children. They teach them how to be a nice and useful person. The children believe in their teachers and think of them as their close friends.
Some teachers begin to set up “Education Centre for Homeless Children”. Their work has a great effect on the children. Some children have made great progress. They are thankful to these volunteer teachers and the country.
