　　阅读理解2017·山东省实验中学二模Genzeb Tibeb is very bright.At only 11 years old，her future is looking promising.She is ranked 2nd out of 56 students at her government school in Addis Ababa，Ethiopia where she has been selected for a special program because of her talent.She knows she is special and proudly shows off her certificate and book signifying her accomplishments in this special program.

　　But her future hasn’t always looked so bright.While her mother，Bekelech，sacrificed immensely for Genzeb，she would not have been able to continue sending her to school.When her husband died，Bekelech was the sole provider，for their five children.In order for them to survive，she began the daily routine of walking approximately 8－10 miles a day collecting sticks to sell near her 8′×10′ home in Kichone.It wouldn’t have been long before Genzeb would have been forced to quit school in order to help her mom.But Bright Future changed all that.

　　Genzeb has been at Bright Future for 3 years.Since Ethiopian schools let out early，Genzeb walks to the facility right after lunch.Because of her high ability，she even helps teach the younger children there，building confidence and locking in important foundational academic skills.There’s also other meaningful opportunities Genzeb experiences which allow her eyes to be opened to the different opportunities that are available to her if she completes her studies.Field trips are one of her most favorite activities of all.She especially loved the one to Addis Ababa University.
