题目内容:
Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot afford new shoes each time. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot (赤脚), those children risk picking up diseases and parasites (寄生虫) from the soil.
Kenton Lee, an American, has a solution for those barefoot kids --- a shoe that grows with the child. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long. “It grows in three places: the front, the sides with velcro (尼龙搭扣) and the back with a buckle (扣环). It can last up to five years. The bottom is made of compressed rubber(压缩橡胶), and the top is high-quality leather. The shoes come in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.”
Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in Kenya. “There were many children with too small shoes for their feet, but they were too poor to buy a new one. So they had to cut open the front of the shoes to let their toes stick out. I want to do something to help them, so I invent these shoes.”
Up to now, they have sent more than 50,000 pairs of shoes to 70 countries. A pair of shoes, he says, gives a child not only protection, but also self-worth. It’s a small invention but really does make a big difference in these children’s life.
