Living in a new era of high technology, more people choose to ask for help by using crowd funding (眾籌) online. Some people think it’s convenient and people can get help in time when they are in trouble. There are some other people refusing to donate money in this way. They don’t think the money can be used properly. The following are what some people think about the new way of donating money.

Jackson

Thanks to the crowd funding, I have a chance to succeed in starting a company. About three years ago, I got help from almost eighty thousand strangers. With the money raised from them, my dream to have my own company came true. Next year, my workmates and I plan to donate some of my money to other people in need if the company goes well.

Maria

I often do volunteer work in my free time. I’ve been volunteering for nearly six years. But I am unfamiliar with how crowd funding works. I don’t think I have time and energy to check whether the online information about the people is true. So I never use crowd funding. I prefer to help people in my neighborhood.

Jean

Everyone in my family was upset and lost hope when they knew I had a serious illness. I was really thankful to the nurse who told us to try to raise money with help of crowd funding. At first, my parents thought it was unbelievable and impossible to get the money. When they realized they had no choice but to carry out the nurse’s advice, they tried and got the money for my operation. I will try my best to work harder and repay the helpers’ love to me.

1.Who are more likely to get help from crowd funding?

A.People who are in danger. B.Patients who need money badly.

C.People who want to make more money. D.People who want to be rich.

2.Who helped Jackson when he wanted to start a company?

A.His workmates.

B.The volunteers.

C.Many strangers.

D.We don’t know.

3.What does the underlined word “unfamiliar” mean in Chinese?

A.陌生的

B.贊成的

C.羞愧的

D.反感的

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.Jackson wants to donate all his money to other people in need.

B.Maria has been a volunteer in her neighborhood for nearly six years.

C.A nurse helped Jean work out her crowd funding plan.

D.Nearly all the people think they can get help at once when they are in trouble.

The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life. I had my arms full of books and I was rushing into the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was Carlos.

“My ......, you’re tall,” he said.

Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.

I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. To my relied, Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than me. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington.

“Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky newcomer Carlos, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.

Carlos laughed widely. “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again, the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.

The bell rang for classes. As I stood up to go, I saw Carlos coming toward me. “I’m sorry I embarrassed you,” he said. I looked straight ahead over the top of his black hair. “That’s all right.”

“I ought to know better.” He was still blocking my way. “What’s your name?” “Karen Forbes.” He held out his hand. Unwillingly, I shook hands with him. He looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. “I am Carlos. I don’t see why you’re so touchy.”

It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president. “How come?” I kept asking myself, “How come this shrimp who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?”

So on that morning, I stopped Carlos and said, “It doesn’t seem to bother you — being short.” He looked up at me, “Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,” I admitted, “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red...
