For Nelly Cheboi, the future was guided by her childhood dream of wanting to change the lives of those around her; little did she know that technology would become the gateway for such change. A native of Mogotio, Kenya, Nelly Cheboi grew up in a run-down house, walked to school barefoot every day, and went to bed hungry every night-something not uncommon for those in her community. Nevertheless, she studied hard and earned a full-ride college scholarship. She had consumed plenty of books growing up, but didn't know a thing about computers. If given a ten page paper in college, Cheboi would choose to hand-write it because she typed too slowly. It was only in Cheboi’s third year of college that she encountered computer science—a （北京）股份有限公司 subject she was fascinated by. She learned low technology could serve the economy and realized that, in order to fix the systems in Kenya that kept people in a cycle of poverty （贫穷）, she could encourage her community to work online. That then became the motivation for TechLit Africa.

In doing so, kids unlock global opportunities and a second chance at a more fulfilling life. 24. Where did Cheboi's weakness lie according to paragraph 2? A. Taking care of herself. B. Reading academic books. C. Handwriting papers. D. Using a computer. 25. Why did Cheboi decide to establish TechLit Africa? A. To free her community from heavy physical work. B. To encourage online communication among locals. C. To raise funds for uneducated children in poor areas. D. To lift her community out of poverty by the Internet. 26. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Cheboi’s program? A. Its development. B. Its impact. C. Its challenge. D. Its popularity. 27. How does TechLit Africa benefit kids in Africa? A. It ensures future employment. B. It provides a global perspective. （北京）股份有限公司 C. It increases chances of traveling. D. It inspires passion for charity.
