A

Nikenson’s dad died when he was 3, and his mom often couldn’t afford his school fees, so he got kicked out of school sometimes. But Nikenson would steal back onto the school grounds and stand outside the open classroom windows to listen, day after day. He studied on his own, keeping pace so that when his mom earned a few dollars, he could enter class again.

Against all difficulties, Nikenson graduated from high school this year, first in his class, with straight A’s, and was elected class president. Nikenson is a reminder of the basic saying of life today: gift is universal, but opportunity is not.

Fortunately, with the help of some American people, Nikenson is now receiving a university education. He’s benefiting from a program started by Bohan, a young American who was teaching in a Haitian high school. Bohan asked his family and friends to help other Haitians go to college. The program grew and became the Haitian Education and Leadership Program, or HELP, sending hundreds of young men and women to Haitian universities.

“Education works,” Bohan said simply. “Good education works for everybody, everywhere. It worked for you, for me, and it works for Haitian. Over time, I’ve concluded that education may be the single best way to help people help themselves, whether in America or abroad. Yet, as a nation, we don’t put enough money in education. So, in this holiday season, I’d suggest a mom ent to raise a glass and celebrate those who spread the gift of education.”

One clever new high school graduate, Elice, was working as a worker in a village and earning just $50 a month. HELP sent him to college to study industrial engineering, and he just graduated and found a job at a European company as an engineer for $1,500 a month.

“The only difference is his access to education.” said Bohan.

21. Why couldn’t Nikenson continue to study in school?

A. Because he liked standing outside the open classroom.

B. Because his family was too poor to afford school fees.

C. Because he often stole things in the school.

D. Because his father died at an early age.

22. What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph refer to?

A. P eople with gift don’t need opportunity.

B. Gift is more necessary than opportunity.

C. Chances are also important to gifted people.

D. Gifted people can succeed in everything they do.

23. What’s the purpose of Bohan starting HELP?

A. To raise money for Americans.

B. To build more high schools in Haiti.

C. To help Haitians receive a university education.

D. To send poor American students to study abroad. 24. According to the passage, Bohan thinks ________.

A. Elice ought to be one of the HELP’s members

B. everyone should work for education

C. more people will spread the gift of education soon
