Because 1.4 billion people in developing countries live on less than $1.25 a day. Another 842 million people, or one in eight people, do not have enough to eat, today.‎ The good news is that there are ways to end poverty.‎ Creating jobs, both in the United States and abroad, is a great way to deal with poverty. When people have jobs, they have money, and when people have money, they can more easily get themselves out of poverty. The U.N. says that “For the poor, labor is often the only thing they can use to improve their well-being.”‎ The education of girls and women impacts(影响) the rest of the societies. A woman's degree of education is linked to the age at which she marries and has children, to her health and diseases. Educating girls and women can end poverty in developing nations, as well as in the United States.‎ The United States hasn't raised the lowest pay since 2007. Because of this, right now, “A full-time worker with two children getting the lowest pay will still raise his or her family in poverty.” And this is a problem in almost every other country, especially in developing nations. Raising the lowest pay could possibly increase the health and well-being of millions.‎ The president of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim, says that he believes “health care covering in all countries can help achieve a goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030.” He says that health care could end poverty. Because about 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty every year by having to spend money on health problems, and health problems push about another 150 million into very serious hardship.‎ These ways to end poverty show that while there is a difficult road ahead, there is a practical path forward.‎ ‎1.How many people do not have enough to eat today?

Chinese people are being encouraged to get to know the country better and introduce it to the rest of the world.‎ ‎　　On April 15, a group of students were asked how they would do this. They were the junior group contestants(选手)of the 16th China Daily “21st Century New Oriental Cup” National High School English Speaking Competition. Twelve contestants competed in the final. Their topic was “A Chinese story I want to tell the world”.‎ ‎　　The contestants told different kinds of stories. Some talked about Chinese philosophy(哲学), such as Confucianism(儒家思想). Others talked about today's events, like the Belt and Road program. But most contestants chose to share personal stories.‎ ‎　　For example, one contestant talked about how his mom worked hard to support him. Srisucha McCabe, a judge at the competition, found his story to be touching. “I have heard about Chinese parents' dedication on to their children's success and I'm sure about it after hearing his story,” McCabe said. Other judges said they believed telling touching personal stories was a good way to help foreigners understand China.‎ ‎　　Another contestant Ge Jing brought a bottle of Laoganma pepper sauce(老干妈辣椒酱)when she gave ‎ 5‎ a speech. This made the judges and the listeners there laugh. Ge talked about how its creator, Tao Huabi, found success. She said Tao was an example of hard work and creativity. It was not only a story about a grandmother, but also a made-in-China story and a story about the Chinese dream.‎ ‎1.What's the purpose of the 16th China Daily “21st Century New Oriental Cup” National High School English Speaking Competition?
