Ⅳ. 任务型阅读。
Jean's dream to end poverty (贫困) started when she was visiting her father, who worked for the homeless.
"I never realized there were people in the world who didn't have a home or food before," said Jean, who is now sixteen. "I knew there was something I had to do about that."
At the age of eight, she started raising money to build a playground. "It took me two years," Jean said. "We started small. We wanted to do something to make a difference."
In 2014, when Jean was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, she set Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there.
"The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one," Jean said. "We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of."
Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. "This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world," said the headmaster of Jean's school.
