Susie Sunbeam was not her real name; that was Susan Brown. But everyone called her Susie Sunbeam because she always brought brightness when she came. Her grandfather first gave her this name, and it seemed to fit the little girl so nicely that soon it took the place of her own.

Even when a baby, Susie laughed from morning till night. No one ever heard her cry unless she was sick or hurt.

When she learned to walk, she loved to get things for her mother, and in this way save her as many steps as she could. She would sit by her mother’s side for an hour at a time, and ask her so many questions, or she would take her new book and read. Susie was always pleasant in her play with other children. She never used an unkind word, but tried to do what she could to make her playmates happy. One day, a poor little girl with a very old dress was going by and Susie heard some children making fun of her. She at once ran out of the gate, and asked the poor little girl to come in. “What are you crying for?” Susie asked. “Because they all laugh at me,” she said.

Then Susie took the little girl into the house. She cheered her up with kind words, and gave her a nice dress and a pair of shoes. This brought real joy and gladness to the poor child, and she, too, thought that Susie was rightly called Sunbeam.

Millions of children around the world don’t have chances to get basic education, such as reading, writing andmathematics, and the problem is only getting worse. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, reports that 263 million children around the world are not in school. Teaching these boys and girls is a problem that researchers are trying to solve.

The Global Learning XPrize competition is looking for ways to help children teach themselves with only a tablet computer(平板电脑). What’s more, they are offering $15 million to find the best educational apps. In this way they can teach simple skills to people who have never attended school.

Keller told reporters that the plan is different from other ideas of education. “Traditional ways are mainly about building new schools and training new teachers,” he said. “There are many children who do not go to school. Can you develop something that’s so special and useful that you just give it to a child who cannot read in a very faraway part of the world – she picks it up, she touches it and she begins to learn how to read? And that’s the challenge that we put out to the world.”

About 200 teams entered the competition. And five teams of them were chosen. Each was given $1 million. The next step for these five teams is to field test their solutions. Google has given away 8,000 Pixel C tablets to children in 150 villages in the Tanga region of Tanzania. They will field test each team’s software in a period of 15 months. Whichever solution shows the highest achievement after that time will be the winner, receiving a prize of $10 million.
