29、m from the local library. Now imagine having to walk miles and miles through a hot sandy desert just to borrow a book. This is the reality for people living in the villages of the Garissa region of Kenya in East Africa In 2006, librarian Wycliffe Oluoch used to spend each day waiting for people to c

30、ome to borrow some of the 24, 000 books in his library in Garissa. The library had no shortage of books, but people werent coming to read them.

31、ught, he hit upon a great idea. If people wouldn t come to the library, then he would have to take the library to them.

39、rime Minister during World War II. During the war, Germany sent planes to bomb England, and at the time, many people were afraid Germany would win the war. But Churchill gave the people in England hope through his speeches. He also worked with Roosevelt in the United States and Stalin in Russia to w

40、in the war against Hitler, so he became an important man in world history as well. Churchill is quite famous for things that he said and wrote.
