三、阅读理解
A Kenyan teacher who gave away most of his monthly salary to poor people has won the Global Teacher Prize and one million dollars.
In 2016, Peter Tabichi came to Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School, a public school, in faraway Kenya's Rift Valley. The school had just a single computer and had problems connecting to the Internet. It had no library or laboratory. To make matters worse, the students came from poor families where basics like food and clothing were hard to come by. While these difficulties would have caused most people to leave quickly, Tabichi stayed.
Realizing that starving kids make for poor students, the teacher began using as much as 80 percent of his monthly salary to buy food and learning objects for them. He set up a science club to get kids interested in the topic. "Our laboratory does not have everything, but I encourage them to think wider and use what we can get locally."
Tabichi and other four teachers regularly visit low-achieving, at-risk students at their homes to provide one-on-one help and to understand the difficulties these children face daily. Tabichi also encourages parents to allow girls to continue their high-school education.
Tabichi's efforts have made a difference. The school registration has more than doubled to almost 400 now since he came. In 2017, 16 of the 59 graduating students went to college, while in 2018, the number rose to 26. In 2017, five students qualified (有权) for the Intel ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair). This year, two other students will compete in the 2019 Intel ISEF to be held in Phoenix, Arizona.
The teacher, however, owes his success to his students, saying, "I am only here because of what my students have achieved. This prize gives them a chance. It tells the world that they can do anything. As would be expected, Tabichi plans to spend the prize money on his school community.
