Nearly eight hundred million people in this world cannot read orwrite, most of them in developing countries. Two-thirds are women and girls.
John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign (运动), has opened 1650 schools and 15000 libraries in some of the world's poorest communities(社区). He said that from the beginning, Room to Read'sgoal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries.
In 1998, on athree-week vacation journey in Nepal, Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his schoolin a far mountain village. The experience changed Wood's life.
"This headmaster had 450 students at the school, but he didn't have any books," Wood said. "He had a library that was empty."
Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village one year later with some of his friends with 3000 books. And that was just the start. Later, Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read. He believes that world change begins with educated children. Today, the programme can be found in 10 countries across Asia and Africa.
Wood believes the key to the program's success is local support. While Room to Read gives away money and provides books, communities offer land and parents help build the school. Agnes, a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library, is proud to say the literacy' at her school has improved. Room to Read's biggest challenge is the huge need. Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy prograrnmes. One way of Room to Read's success is that it will achieve Wood's goal of reaching 10 million kids by 2015, five years earlier than it is planned.

Please sit down and enjoy your meal. Just don't talk about it.
These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as "silent dinners". It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices. Instead, the idea is to just on the food.
"Silent dinner parties are fast growing," said Honi Ryan, who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries, including Germany, Australia andthe United States. "The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it."
According to a 2013 nation wide survey, restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer(顾客) complaints. And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out.
Though silent dinners may seem curious, the idea is not a new one. Yogis(瑜伽信徒) have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice. In fact, it was a trip to a temple(寺庙) in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming.
"We'll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour," said EAT Green point owner Jordan Colon. And background music will be turned off, too.
"It's funny; when I first opened EAT, I didn't play music for some time and people had very different reactions(反映) to that," said Colon. "Some people who come out to eat are ready to party, but it was so quiet without music. But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed."
Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various, in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards, said Ryan. "At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence. But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh."
(1)The first paragraph is written to be a(n)____ .
A.conclusion
B.introduction
C.argument
D.warning
(2)At silent dinner parties,people should not ____.
A.leave before they finish eating
B.just pay attention to the food
C.use a mobile phone or listen to music
D.take electronic devices to the party
(3)What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraph 5?
A.Silent meals help people live longer.
B.Yogis are the first to hold silent dinners.
C.More and more people like eating in silence.
D.The idea of eating in silence appeared long ago.
(4)In Jordan Colon's opinion,silent dinners ____.
A.make people comfortable and relaxed
B.are hard to be accepted by most people
C.can help him to attract more customers
D.provide a chance to get to know others
