12.Julius is a 15year-old Kenyan,with his feet in his country and his eyes on the West.He wears jeans and a baseball cap to school.He loves watching American films on TV.His elder brothers hang out (閑逛)after work in places like the Hard Rock Cafe.Julius's brother Paul says,‘The music is cool,it's not too expensive and it's the place where I can meet all my friends.'
Julius is lucky because his parents have enough money to send him to school.Many children in Kenya do not go to school because their parents are too poor to pay for schooling.
Kenya,like many countries in East Africa,has a lot of problems.There is very little industry and farmers do not receive high prices for their crops.Half the people in the capital Nairobi live in slums (貧民區(qū)) where whole families crowd into a single-roomed hut.In the north of the country the situation is worse.The rains have failed for several years and the people have not enough food.
It is a young country.Almost half people are aged under 15.Many people there have been hit hard by AIDS.Because the country is poor,it cannot pay for the expensive medicine that can control AIDS.
Julius is worried about his future.‘I don't know what I will do when I leave school.There are very few jobs for young people.'He would like to work with computers on the Internet,maybe start up an Internet cafe.However,there are several problems with this.The computers are very expensive.Next the electricity supply does not run all day every day.Finally,the telephone connections are not very good,and sometimes Net signals are lost.
