Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari (东非游猎) and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. The person who seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania’s Minister of Water and Wildlife Development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I arrived at the school, I was shocked. The dirt floors turned into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn’t keep out the heat, cold or bugs (小昆虫). The school was in need of building materials. It broke my heart that these children had to try hard to survive, so I asked the headmaster how much it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately after I got back, I founded (成立) Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown big enough to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 school children in Tanzania every day. The free lunch programme has solved an essential (基本的) problem the children face. I know good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always told me the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and business people. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with good education. It’s amazing that something as simple as a hot lunch can change so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can encourage them to go all the way through college and lead a change in their country. 1．How old was the writer when he went to Tanzania for the first time? ___________________________________ 2．What made the writer shocked, the poor condition of the school or the poor children? ____________
