I’d always dreamed of visiting Africa, ever since I read my first Tarzan(人猿泰山) comic as a child. Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. 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 all material goods.
It broke my heart that these children had to try hard to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. About 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded(成立) Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 school children in Tanzania every day. The free lunch program has solved an essential problem the children face.
I know a 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 a 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. 88. How old was the writer when he went to Tanzania for the first time?（1分）

Here is a letter from Obama, the previous USA president to his daughters. Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these last two years, going to picnics, parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food, your mother and I probablyshouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom. And today I want to tell you a little more about w 81 I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I had dreams and I thought life was all about me——about how I will make my way in the world, become s 82 , and achieve the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the g 83 joy in my life was the joy I saw you. And I realized, in the world, girls, that’s the reason for running for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in the nation.
I want all our children to go to school worthy of their potential——schools that challenge them, inspire them; I want them to have the c 84 to go to university—even if their parents aren’t rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.
