Step 3 語篇提升訓(xùn)練Task 1 閱讀理解

• 1．Although small business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world，little attention has been paid to the need of young people，and even less to the children living on the street or in difficult conditions.
     Over the past nine years，Street Kids International（SKI）has been working with partner organizations in Africa，Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children and develop opportunities for street children to earn income.
     The SKI Bicycle Courier Service first started in Sudan，Street children who took part in it were given bicycles，which they used to deliver parcels and messages.A similar program was taken up in Bangalore，India.The Shoeshine Collective was a program with the YWCA in the Dominican Republic.The children in this project were lent money to buy shoeshine boxes.They were also given a safe place to store their equipment，and facilities for individual savings plans.The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a program with the Red Cross Society and the YWCA.Street youths are supported to start their own small business through business training，life skills training and access to credit.
     During the program，SKI and partner organizations have drawn lessons from the past：First of all，being a businessman is not for everyone，nor for every street child.And it is important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills.Secondly，small loans are provided firstly for buying fixed assets such as bicycles，shoeshine kits and basic building materials for a market stall（攤位）.As the children gain experience，they can be given more loan amounts.And all SKI programs have charged interest on the loans.Generally the rates have been lower than bank rates.Most importantly，it is believed that credit must be given with other types of support，that help the young develop key life skills as well as productive businesses.
