Twothirds are women and girls. John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign（運動） , has opened 1,650 schools and 15,000 libraries in some of the world’ s poorest munities（社區(qū)） . He said that from the beginning, Room to Read’ s goal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries. In 1998, on a threeweek vacation journey in Nepal, Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his school in a far mountain village. The experience changed Wood’ s life. “ This headmaster had 450 students at the school, but he didn’ t have any books,” Wood said.” He had a library that was empty.” Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village year later with some of his friends with 3,000 books. And that was just the start. Later, Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read. He believes that world change begins with educated children. Today, the programme can be found in 10 countries across Asia and Africa. Wood believes the key to the program’ s success is local support .While Room to Read gives away money and provides books, munities offer land and parents help build the school. Agnes, a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library, is proud to say the literacy at her school has improved. Room to Read’ s biggest challenge is the huge need. Hundreds of munities have asked for literacy programmes. One way of Room to Read’ s success is that it will achieve Wood’ s goal of reaching 10 million kids by 2020, five years earlier than it is planned. 38.

In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have bee very important. Many foreign panies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners. The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of c
