例题：
（2020年天津卷）“They tell me that you’d like to make a statue（塑像）of me — is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?”
The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldn’t have dared to ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. ”
President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors — they’ve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I’m afraid there’s not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust（半身像）?”
Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice. “Of course — I shouldn’t have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size. ”
Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I’ve driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay（粘土）figure would not exhaust my strength — and that is what I intend to do!”
The President’s eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didn’t know your background. ”
But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself. ”
Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk. ”
The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie’s hand warmly, “I’ve heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon. ”
The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the President.
41. What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln?
A. Her aggressive personality. B. Mr. Mills’s encouraging remark.
C. President Lincoln’s gentle voice. D. Her interest in a challenging job.
42. How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnie’s request?
A. Pleased. B. Thrilled. C. Regretful. D. Doubtful.
43. Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full-length statue by highlighting ______.
A. her experience from other projects B. her innocent childhood in the country
C. the heavy labor she had done before D. the skill she picked up in Wisconsin
44. Vinnie wanted to choose the corner near the windows to ______.
A. achieve effects of natural lighting B. keep all her tools within easy reach
C. observe the President at a right angle D. avoid disturbing the President’s work
45. What message does the story convey?
A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal. B. Experience helps to promote excellence.
C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Devotion requires enthusiasm.
41.【答案】B
【解析】根据第三段中的“I wouldn’t have dared to ask you,but my teacher, Mr.Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner”可知，我本来不敢问你，但我的老师Mills先生说我准备好了。我打算用一种令人钦佩的方式来做这件事。由此可知，Mills 先生的话给了Vinnie向林肯总统提出要求的底气。故选B。
【考点】细节理解
42.【答案】D
【解析】根据第五段中的“Of course-I shouldn’t have asked. A fill-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size.”可知，当然--我不应该问的。对于你这种身材的年轻女性来说，全身雕像太大了。由此可推知，林肯总统首先对Vinnie 的请求表示怀疑。故选 D。
【考点】推理判断
43.【答案】C
【解析】根据第六段中的“I’ve driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay figure would not exhaust my strength -and this is what I intend to do!”可知，我赶过马队，提过水。做一个全身雕像不会耗尽我的力量--我还正想这样呢!此可知，Vinnie通过强调她以前所做的繁重劳动，证实了她有能力制作一个全身雕像。故选C。
【考点】细节理解
44.【答案】D
【解析】根据倒数第四段中的“Miss Ream”he sighed,“I'd like to let you do it,but as you know we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now?I hardly have a minute to myself.”可知，总统提到自己没有时间摆姿势来让Vinnie做雕像。根据倒数第三段中的“Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office“I work quickly"she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows.“If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”可知，Vinnie环顾四周，注意到了他办公室的大小。“我干得很快，”她说。她指着靠近窗户的那个角落，声音柔和而自信。“如果我把我的粘土带到这里来，每天下午工作三个小时，我就可以在你办公的时候完成大部分的项目。”由此可推知，上文中总统提到自己没有时间摆姿势来让Vinnie做雕像，于是Vinnie想选择靠近窗户的角落，是为了避免干扰总统的工作。故选 D.
【考点】推理判断
45.【答案】A
【解析】根据文章主要记叙了Vinnie Ream向林肯总统提出给他做一个全身雕像的请求，一开始林肯总统对此表示怀疑，在Vinnie的不断努力争取后，最终第二天Vinnie收到了林肯总统的邀请。由此可推知，这个故事表达了意志坚强的人能达到目标的思想。故选A。
【考点】推理判断


（一）、 Jonathan Cranwell sat on hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. Jonathan had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!
He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher was from Harvard College. Jonathan’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire Jonathan. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.
“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).”
Jonathan watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.
Jonathan and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster?” asked Jonathan’s father that evening, when Jonathan announced he was going out to look at the sky.
“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” Jonathan admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”
“So Mr. John Adam and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked Jonathan’s father.
“I believe he has,” said Jonathan. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”
1．What does the underlined word “drone” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Boring sounds. B．Clear talks. C．Enthusiastic responses. D．Loud noises.
2．Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children?
A．“Go outside and look at the sky,…” B．“See if you can describe their shells.”
C．“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,…” D．“Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories…”
3．The students’ laughter in Paragraph 4 suggests that they were ________.
A．silly B．confused C．delighted D．easygoing
4．According to Paragraph 9, we can learn that ________.
A．Mr. Cranwell had met the new schoolmaster B．Jonathan had previously complained about school
C．Mr. Cranwell was not satisfied with the new ways D．Jonathan had shown his father his homework
5．What is the main idea of this story?
A．Science is all around us. B．School provides us with the best education.
C．Homework is an important part of education. D．There is more than one way to learn.
（二）、 Many of us seem to have lives that follow a certain way. From kindergarten all the way to when we get married, every stage of our lives seems to be preset. And although this works well for a lot of people, according to British scholar Jay Shetty, there is no “right” schedule to live our lives by.
A few months ago, a video of Shetty’s speech “Before You Feel Pressure” became popular on the Internet across the world. In the video, he sends an important message that we should think “outside of the way” and have the courage to follow our hearts. As Shetty says in the video, we don’t have to get stressed and put ourselves in a race with our peers or judge our lives based on others’. “Everything in life happens according to our time, our clocks,” he says.
In his inspiring speech, Shetty points out that UK author J. K. Rowling got her famous “Harry Potter” series published at age 32, after being turned down by 12 publishers. Shetty also mentions that US actor Morgan Freeman didn’t get his big break until he was 52 years old. So we shouldn’t let anyone rush us.
As physicist Albert Einstein once said, “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that’s counted truly counts. The key to staying on our own tracks is to be patient and keep our own interest. ” In Australian nurse Bronnie Ware’s best-selling book “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying”, she recorded the dying regrets of her patients, and the top one on the list was: “I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the one others expected of me. ”
Indeed, we are all unique in our personalities and gifts, and there’s no perfect fit for all. We should listen to our inner voices and ignore what the world has taught us, and what we’ve picked up from people around us. “It is important to allow people to go back to being self-aware of their own interests, needs and concerns,” Shetty told the magazine. “It’s disconnecting from what ‘makes sense’ to what actually moves you and what makes sense internally (内在地). ”
6．What does Jay Shetty agree to?
A．The stages of our lives should be preset.
B．Few people have lives that follow a certain way.
C．All people live their lives according to schedules.
D．We can live our lives not according to the given way.
7．According to Jay Shetty’s video, people should _________.
A．put more pressure on themselves
B．adjust their lives based on others’
C．decide their lives in terms of actual cases
D．compete with those who are better than themselves
8．Shetty lists the famous people in his speech to show ________.
A．everyone can be a winner B．hard work is the key to success
C．great new life can begin anytime D．success does not happen in one’s youth
9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?
A．Everything that’s counted truly counts.
B．One should live a life as expected by others.
C．We should count and analyze everything in life.
D．The top dying regret was not living in the way one wanted.
10．We can conclude from the last paragraph that _______.
A．people should never listen to others’ advice
B．we should follow the heart and do what we want to do
C．what makes sense should not be about what people care internally
D．being self-aware of interests, needs and concerns is not acceptable
（三）、 He is a 62-year-old superior court judge, but they are former addicts and criminals. All of them, however, are part of one team: the Skid Row Running Club in Los Angeles (L.A．).
Twice a week, before the sun comes up, Judge Craig Mitchell runs the mile from his office at the county courthouse to The Midnight Mission, a social services organization centered in Downtown’s Skid Row — the well-known area where the city’s largest homeless population lives.
At the organization, he meets a group of 30 to 40 people and together they run through East L. A．The group includes runners from all walks of life and all levels of athleticism. Some members are homeless or in recovery, and others are lawyers, social workers or students.
Mitchell developed the program in 2012 after a man he’d once sentenced to prison returned to thank him. “He was paroled (假释) to The Midnight Mission and decided to come back and said ‘Thank you, Judge Mitchell, for treating me like a human being.’ The head of the organization at the time asked me if there was something that I could do to contribute to the organization, and I thought of starting a running club. That was the inception,” Mitchell said.
Every year, Mitchell takes his most devoted Skid Row runners on a free trip to participate in an international marathon. “I come back to the courthouse after any run and check off who is there. And so, I know exactly who has been faithful to the running program and who just comes once in a while,” he said.
Mitchell says he’s seen some participants turn their lives around, attending college, securing full-time employment and possessing calmness. “Running is a way for the participants to build relationships,” he said. “You can be an amazing runner and benefit as much as our fast runners, because at the end of the day you’re going to be surrounded by people who really care about you and want to spend time with you.” Everybody is welcome. We believe. We listen. We support.
11．What can we learn about the Skid Row Running Club?
A．It was set up to make a profit.
B．It consists of all sorts of members.
C．It’s failed to win popularity in L. A．
D．It was designed mainly for court judges.
12．What did Mitchell probably do to make the prisoner grateful to him?
A．He provided economic and spiritual support to the prisoner.
B．He supported the prisoner by finding him a lawyer.
C．He treated the prisoner equally without prejudice.
D．He invited the prisoner to join the organization.
13．What does the underlined word “inception” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Origin. B．Standard.
C．Contribution. D．Distribution.
14．Why does Mitchell check off runners after any run?
A．To check their health. B．To compare their speed.
C．To award devoted runners. D．To make sure of their presence.
15．What message does Mitchell’s story convey?
A．Running can highly educate criminals.
B．We can gain admiration if we work hard.
C．We can make a difference when we care.
D．Running can help build a charity for the poor.
（四）、 It was time for Mr. Rocco to shut up the shop when I hurried into the flower shop. “Now, what is it you want? ” Mr. Rocco turned to me. “I want the most beautiful flower you have” I replied. “And just how much do you have to pay for this most beautiful flower? ” I held out a wet hand showing a quarter and dime. He nodded, and then showed me a plant on the counter. “I can give you this one for 35 cents, ” he said. “Aw, gee, ” I protested, “it looks like a weed (草)!” About 18 inches high, the plant was in a small pot covered with faded red paper. “Now trust me, boy-I promise that tomorrow morning when you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower,” said Mr. Rocco. I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it.
It was almost midnight when I arrived home. Mum was seriously sick and using the front bedroom. I looked in to see if she was asleep, and then quietly tiptoed in and set the plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mother’s Day.
The next morning, I dressed and hurried downstairs. The sun was shining through the kitchen window as I looked into Mum’s room and glanced over at the table where the plant was. My goodness! There were three big yellow trumpet shaped blooms. It was just like Mr. Rocco said -the most beautiful flower I ever saw! When I looked at Mum, she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks. She held out her hand for me to come near, then pulled me close and hugged me till it hurt. Then, remembering her contagious condition and that she wasn’t supposed to touch me, she quickly let me go.
My dear mum died the next night. The moment she hugged me turned out to be the most wonderful moment of my life. Not only had that beautiful plant helped show just how much I loved her, but I’d always know how much she loved me.

（五）、 Rene Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest. He’d hiked the park numerous times. But when hiking along a new path, the 45-year-old was lost.
As the day faded into darkness, his concern turned to fear. With only a little water in his backpack and 10% battery remaining on his cellphone, Compean was unprepared for anything more than the two-hour trip he’d planned.
Compean climbed to a spot where he found one bar of signal. “SOS. My phone is going to die. I’m lost,” he texted a friend, attaching a photo showing where he was. The shot showed his legs hanging over a rock face. All Compean could do then was wait. The temperature was dropping fast. Dressed only in shorts, and a sweatshirt, the hiker was chilled to the bone. He hugged himself into a tight ball. And after spotting two mountain lions, he spent the night on high alert.
Sixty miles away, Ben Kuo was working at home when he read a posting from the police, showing an image of a man’s legs. The search-and-rescue teams had spent the previous night unsuccessfully looking for Compean, so they released the photo, hoping someone might recognize the location.
“I’ve always loved looking for where photos are taken,” Kuo says. He frequently tries to identify where movie scenes or commercials were filmed. He’s often successful. When he saw the image, he automatically pulled up a satellite map on his laptop. “There’s an amazing amount of information you can get from satellites,” he says. The first thing he noticed in Compean’s photo was plenty of greenery. After comparing it to the satellite map, Kuo realized something: “He’s got to be on the south side because there’re not any green valleys on the north side.”
That finding led him to an area that looked like the territory in the image. The final step was cross- referencing the original photo with 3-D images of the area. The locations matched!
After spending 27 hours in the wilderness, Compean was found.
Compean’s story probably would have ended differently had it not been for the man with strong satellite skills and a sharp eye for detail.
21．What caused Compean to get lost on the hike?
A．The thick forest. B．The unfamiliar route.
C．The coming of nightfall. D．Low battery on the phone.
22．Kuo was able to offer help because of ______.
A．his photo reading ability B．his sense of responsibility
C．his professional experience D．his familiarity with the area
23．What can we learn from this story?
A．One good turn deserves another.
B．Chance favors the prepared mind.
C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D．There’s no such thing as useless knowledge.
（六）、 Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls(仓鸮). When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies,” I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding.
However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go.
Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive (天真的) in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum(负鼠) that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot(豹猫). They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6- and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light.
That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced the task at hand — feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador.
24．How did the author react to the director’s request?
A．He agreed happily. B．He turned it down.
C．He said yes unwillingly. D．He questioned his intention.
25．What does the underlined word “denounced” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Finished. B．Agreed.
C．Changed. D．Blamed.
26．What did the author find about the school children?
A．They explored the outdoors often.
B．They were eager to raise an animal.
C．They knew little about the surrounding wildlife.
D．They had volunteered to join the animal education program.
27．What is the best title for the text?
A．A kept owl is protecting the owl’s future
B．Saving the world begins with saving an owl
C．The earth’s future is in the hands of children
D．Sending animals back to the wild is not the end
（七）、 One morning I noticed a woman sitting alone at the bus stop. She seemed not to go to work hurriedly. She wasn't going anywhere as well. Was she waiting for the bus? Did mall(商场)buses come this early when the stores wouldn't be open for hours? As I drove by.l heard a voice saying, “Give her a bottle of water”.
“She looks like she is sleeping. Why would I wake her? What is wrong with me? What is so hard about doing the right thing? It's just a bottle of water! ”
So I drove by her again and again. Finally, I pulled my car into a parking zone, stepping out with a bottle of water in one hand and a twenty-dollar bill in the other. Each step seemed to fill me with purpose and focus. No words can describe what happened between us at that moment. I thought I was bringing her a cold drink, but instead I was bringing her a hope she needed. We sat together for a while as she talked. She had a sad story to tell, but she was no longer sad. Before we parted, I grabbed all the cash I had in my purse and found more water in my car along with some snacks. We stood at the bus stop hugging and said our goodbyes.
I still have a thousand questions as to why I struggled to act. Why did it take me many circles around the mall and an argument with myself? I once wavered between helping her and ignoring her. All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop, a miracle happened.
There are opportunities for us to love every day. Maybe our doubts keep us from acting. Maybe we don't want to take the risk or be uncomfortable. That day, I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives.
28．What did the author think of the woman sitting alone at the beginning?
A．She was short of sleep. B．She was full of curiosity
C．She was a little strange. D．She was out of work.
29．Why did the author drive by the woman over and over again?
A．To improve the terribly poor driving skills. B．To evaluate whether to help her.
C．To search for a parking space. D．To observe the poor woman
30．What does the underlined word "wavered" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Hesitated. B．Disagreed. C．Balanced. D．Objected.
31．What can we learn from the text?
A．Love breaks down racial barriers. B．The wealth of life is action.
C．Actions speak louder than words. D．The best act to love is taking action.
（八）、 I was typing papers for new school students when Mama called. We talked about some senseless things for a while before she finally told me about it. “Well, Donner, there’s this class up at the high school this summer,” she said. “They say they can teach me to read and write. I’m trying to decide whether...”
“Of course, you should do it! That would be so wonderful. I’d be so proud of you,” I answered. She was 63 and had survived two alcoholic husbands and was an expert at buying and selling garage sale junk to keep food on her own table and buy Christmas presents for me and my brother’s kids. She used food stamps to buy food and other goods. Mama laughed, seemingly with relief. “Well, you know, I’d about gotten used to being the silliest old lady in town,” she said.
It turned out that her neighbor had found the class for her. The young woman had been doing Mama’s “business” for a while in my absence, helping to allay my guilt (愧疚) over leaving Mississippi. The friend was a little crazy, but Mama liked her.
Three months into the class, Mama left a message on my answering machine: “Donner, I taught a class tonight!” She was almost singing the words. “The teacher let me teach the class!” She soon wrote me a letter in a careful, boxy print I had never seen, instead of the strange way she had long written family names she had memorized.
The next time I flew home to visit, we both laughed like 12-year-olds as she read words from billboards on the way from the airport. Her grammar was getting better. She kept talking about her classes and the other students.
32．Why did Donner’s mother phone her according to Paragraph 1?
A．To advise Donner to take a course. B．To show her support for Donner.
C．To tell Donner her decision. D．To ask Donner for advice.
33．Which can replace the underlined word “allay” in Paragraph 3?
A．admit B．forget C．punish D．reduce
34．How did Donner’s mother feel when she left a message for Donner?
A．Astonished. B．Delighted. C．Puzzled. D．Worried.
35．What does the author want to tell us in the last two paragraphs?
A．What progress Donner’s mother made.
B．The difficulty Donner’s mother had in learning.
C．How Donner’s mother learned to read and write.
D．The effects other students had on Donner’s mother.
（九）、 In her book, Exploring the Dangerous Trades (1943), Alice Hamilton (1869-1970) described two of her most unforgettable moments. One was her meeting with a Hungarian woman. Her husband had been badly injured in a plant and was being held at a hospital. The other memorable moment happened when she met a manager of a big white-lead ( 白铅) plant. She described him as a well-mannered gentleman. But he was shaking with anger after hearing her suggestion. She suggested that he should be responsible for his workers who experienced lead poisoning.
In 1910, she accepted the position of medical researcher for the Illinois Commission on Occupational Diseases. This new post gave Hamilton nine months to draw a direct line between disease and work. With her team members, she looked into the dangers of lead poisoning. They tracked down hospital records, and met with doctors as well as labor leaders. They visited over 300 plants.
The Illinois survey recorded 578 cases of lead poisoning. Soon Illinois passed a law requiring employers to protect their workers from being harmed by lead and other heavy metals. In 1911, the government asked her to start a nationwide study. She helped set American national safety standards.
By 1919, Hamilton, then a recognized expert in the field of industrial medicine, was invited by Harvard Medical School Dean David L. Edsall. The school officials were shocked at Edsall's decision since they had never employed a woman. Hamilton agreed to the conditions of not attending graduation or football games. Nor could she enter the teachers' club, which was open to men only.
Joe Brain was chair of the Archives Committee at the Harvard School of Public Health. He viewed Hamilton as a pioneering figure in public health, saying, “She always felt it was important to get data and do good science, but then the work wasn't really finished unless something happened ... unless you could use that knowledge to improve labor   standards and other things that were necessary.”
36．What can we conclude from Hamilton's two memorable moments?
A．She was glad to help the poor.
B．She became angry very easily.
C．She was skilled at expressing her ideas.
D．She stood up for workers' right to health.
37．What was the attitude of the government to Hamilton's survey?
A．Reserved. B．Doubtful. C．Uncaring. D．Favorable.
38．What happened while Hamilton was working at Harvard?
A．She was unfairly treated.
B．She became a school official.
C．Women played a more active role in school life.
D．Women were allowed to study industrial medicine.
39．What did Brain say about Hamilton?

（十）、 When Katie Stagliano grew a 40-pound cabbage, she didn’t know that she was beginning to develop a dream as well. When the 10-year-old girl from Summerville, South Carolina realized how much cabbage was in her garden, she decided to donate it to needy families by working with Fields to Families, a nonprofit organization based in South Carolina that gives the hungry access to nutritious fruits and vegetables.
Katie’s cabbage fed nearly 300 people and inspired her to learn more about childhood hunger in the United States. On discovering that more than 12 million kids in the United States go to bed hungry each night, Katie decided to take action.
Her first task was to work together with her family to expand their own garden so that they could donate more vegetables to needy families. But beyond her own backyard, she wanted to teach other children how to get involved. To grow her idea, she started the planting of a garden at her school, which also donates its fresh produce to local food agencies. Through a generous donation from Fields to Families, Katie’s school is receiving seeds and volunteer help, and Katie will get the chance to work there with a master gardener as her teacher!
Katie also designed her very own “No Hungry Children” T-shirt, which is available for purchase online. A part of the proceeds from her T-shirt sales economically supports Katie’s efforts, as well as the work of Amazing Kids, a nonprofit organization that focuses on the dreams of kids like Katie.
“I think it is important to have something to strive for,” says Katie. “By planting a garden or just some seeds in a pot you can make a difference. My cabbage alone fed 275 people. If more kids did the same, we all could be helping to make a long-time dream of no hungry people possible.”

（十一）、 Do you know the actress who starred in the film My Fairy Lady? It is Audrey Hepburn, who won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.
Though she was born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War Ⅱ, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college. But when she returned to London after the war she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina. So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.
But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24. Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Hoolly Golinghtly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
She was married two times and had one child by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects. She worked for the charity until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.

（十二）、 When Lauren Schandevel arrived at the University of Michigan for her freshman year, she was struck by how wealthy all her classmates appeared to be.
“Just wealthy in ways that I couldn’t even imagine,” Schandevel recalls. Students had fashionable clothes and well-connected and powerful parents.
Schandevel had grown up in the north of Detroit. Her family was working class and she had gotten scholarships and a few loans to make attending the admirable state school a reality. When she got to campus, she didn’t think much about her status as a low-income student. Sure, when her bill came due, she’d have a bit of panic--- would this be the semester the financial aid fell through?
Then, during Schandevel’s junior year, the university’s student government put out a campus affordability guide, written with the average Michigan student in mind-but it’s worth noting that the average student at the school has a family income of about $150,000 per year.
The advice didn’t go over well with low-income students on campus. “A lot of the advice was like: fire your maid or sell your car. I was frustrated(受挫的) by this guide, and I was seeing others frustrated by it,” says Schandevel.
She decided to make her own affordability guide, and she fired up a Google doc and titled it “Being Not-Rich at UM: A Guide“. She added her own tips---the things that helped her survive and budget. But there was so much she didn’t know, so she left the sharing settings(分享设置) open for other students to jump in and edit the online document.
It took off. Hundreds of students started adding their tips about how to navigate college when you are paying your way through college. Today, Schandevel’s crowd- sourced guide stretches more than 100 pages. It includes advice about jobs, housing, teachers and financial aid---even many great tips on where to find free food on campus. The doc’s popularity helped her accept her economic status and gave her control over her life.
“Economic status is such an invisible identity, and there are no places on campus where we can really find each other,” says Schandevel. “It brought together people who had experienced this before, and students knew they were not alone.”
