On a summer day, John was sitting on a beach in Hawaii with his parents. The six-year-old child suddenly said he was so lucky because he had so many toys to play with at home.
His surprised parents replied that he was lucky, since a lot of kids didn’t have any toys at all. “How can that be?” John said, confused, but then he said that he would like to get toys for those children. His parents naturally thought their son was just kidding. But as soon as they returned home, John began using his pocket money to buy toys for other kids and asking his friends to do the same. His parents responded by organizing pizza suppers for other families interested in helping other children that can’t afford to buy toys. John thought that he just wanted to cheer those kids up.
John’s parents started to find a place that would allow children as young as six and seven to volunteer. They finally find a day care center for disabled children to let John and his friends visit. They went and played with these kids, playing around the room as if they belonged there.
John and his friends named their work Kids Cheering Kids. John and his friends visited kids at some childcare centers, helping out with a party they organized. They also prepared a performance for children with disabilities. Their activities have drawn public concern.
The spirit of helping is as fresh as it was that day in Hawaii. “The whole purpose,”
John says, “is to make the kids feel better.”
【小題1】Why did John get toys for the children who didn’t have any toy at all?
A.Because he wanted to make them happy. |
B.Because he wanted to show off his toys. |
C.Because he wanted to share his toys with them. |
D.Because he wanted to make friends with them. |
A.Positive. | B.Critical. | C.Doubtful. | D.Puzzled. |
A.It’s a children’s game enjoyed by John and his friends. |
B.It’s a project started by John to help other kids. |

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項中(A、B、c和D)00,選出最佳選項,并在答卡上將該項涂黑。
Ryan and Lowry had been friends since high school, but it wasn’t until after college
that they hit on the idea of a home—care-products company.“We were shocked to learn how toxic cleaning products were,” says Ryan. Why couldn’t they create green products that would be just as environmentally pure as Aveda’s skin—and—hair—care lines?
When Ryan’s mom heard about the plan,she stared at him blankly: “I’ve never even seen you clean your room!” Not discouraged,Lowry experimented with nontoxic ways to clean. while Ryan focused on marketing. In February 2001,they mixed their first four cleaning sprays and convinced the managers of 20 grocers to try them· Once they had their approval,they tapped friends and family and pooled their savings to come up with $90,000 in seed money.
From the start,“Go big or go home’’was their mantra(口頭禪).Their first financing— that $l million—was due to be signed on September 11, 2001. By the time they got it, two months later,says Ryan, "we had$16 in the bank and personally owed$300,000·”
Seeking a national retailer(零售商)proved just as troublesome.The friends set their sights on Target,known for its trendy,affordable goods.“But Target didn’t like the product or the brand,”recalled Ryan.“We thought the deal was dead,but then a new buyer saw that even though we weren’t selling big volumes, we were profitable, just on a smaller scale.”They won over Target.
Consumers were hooked on the natural things and wonderful fragrance. Today,the partners sell 130 products in more than 8,000 stores,and taxes are over$100 million. Such rapid growth has at times stressed the men’s friendship. “Eric and I agree on ‘what’ but never on‘how,’” says Lowry. “Although we are willing to challenge each other,we come up with interesting and smarter solutions.There’s little fire and ice between us·
