In the seventh grade, he was so sad and angry to learn that a 6-year-old boy had to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He had no freedom(自由) at all. That made Craig think about his own life. Laws(法律) in his country say that kids must go to school and schools should be free for all kids. But in some countries, people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families can't go to school but go to work. Craig wanted to help those who didn't have the same advantages (有利条件) as he and his friends had. As a result, Craig and some friends started Free the Children. Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live a better life. Today, Craig's group has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is still going strong. It gets much money from lots of kind people and it uses the money to do many good things. It has helped build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places. ( )26. When did Craig start a group to help kids？ A. At the age of 6. 　 B.
