   Each year, prizes are presented to adults who accomplish great things in art, writing, science, and economics．So why not give awards to kids?

   Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996．As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world．The awards World of Children presents are nicknamed the "Children's Nobel Prize．" On Thursday, World of Children honored six adults and two kids at its 11th Annual Changemakers for Children awards ceremony held at the UNICEF House at United Nations Plaza in New York City．

   Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder's Youth Award for Leadership．She is only 13 years old, but she has accomplished a lot．In 2005, she founded "RandomKid．" Since then, the nonprofit organization has raised more than $10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U．S．a(chǎn)nd in 19 other countries develop funding solutions to real-world problems．One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school．The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Slidell, Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa．In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money for the purchase of water pumps．

   Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become．"I did a project called TLC, which meant Trick or Treat for the Levy Catastrophe, where kids would trick-or-treat for coins along with getting candy," she told me．"My goal was to raise $1 million．That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher--and we actually raised $10 million．" The money RandomKid raised provided help to the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita．

56．The World of Children organization was created to _____．

       A．a(chǎn)nswer questions from chilren      B．match the Adults’ Nobel Prize

       C．give awards to chilren in poor areas     D．honour anyone who has helped kids in need

57．Talia Leman was honourd by the World of Children _____．

       A．because of her sucessful work in RandomKid

       B．because she gave the organization over $10 million

       C．because of her solutions to the many world affairs

       D．because she was chairman of RandomKid

58．In order to help kids, the organization RandomKid has done all the following EXCEPT _____．

       A．building a school in Asia  

       B．providing play centers for sick children

       C．solving the water-drinking problem for African children

       D．helping 300 Cambodian kids to go to school in America

59．How did the kids in RandomKid collect money?

       B．They called at houses and threatened to play tricks if they receive nothing．

       C．They gave performances to passers-by by playing trick-or treat games．

       D．They helped a project called TLC sell candy after school．

Even before World War Ⅱ ended in 1945,many world leaders dreamed of a new organization that would keep international peace and safety,and encourage international cooperation（合作）.An organization was formed.The United Nations was to work to this ideal of mankind.

As the UN passed its fortieth birthday in 1985,it came under increasingly sharp attack by Americans.It declared that the UN is unfit as a peace keeper and cited（援引） 130 wars since 1945 as a proof（證據(jù)）.

Brazil sports are out of control! Brazil may be one of the most sport-crazy countries in the world. Whether you are into watching or playing, Brazil sports have a lot to offer everyone.
Football in Brazil is more than a sport. It’s a way of life. Football is popular in Brazil for several reasons. One reason is that it is fast paced and fun to watch. This is the reason why the World Cup Soccer is the most watched sports event in the world aside from the Summer Olympics. Also, you don't need anything to play soccer except for something to kick, and a big area in which to play. Few will argue if you say that Brazil leads the world in football. No nation has won as many world cups as Brazil.
Volleyball is a close second in Brazil sports. In the world of international volleyball, Brazil wins many championships of all kinds, including indoor and beach volleyball. Brazil has nearly 5,000 miles coastline. If you go to a beach in Brazil, there will always be a volleyball game going on somewhere, and usually two or three.
Footvolley was created in Brazil in the 1960s. It is a mix of football and volleyball, where the players must use their feet and head to get the ball over the net and into the opponents’ courts, and is also played in sand. It is one of the most popular beach sports in Brazil.

Many of us have heard of the saying: everything is possible if you can just believe. But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance(堅(jiān)定).  South African swimmer Natalie du Tiot embodies(體現(xiàn))those virtues.
Du Tiot, 24, became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics (殘奧會(huì))in Beijing. Although she finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the able-bodied Games, she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.
One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Tiot was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001, at just 17.
“There are a lot of dark moments,” she said, “There are some days when I cry. But I try to remember that better days are ahead. You just go on.”
Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool.
She still completes and still succeeds. The only difference is she has switched to longer events—from 200m and 400m individual medley to 800m and 1,500m freestyle—to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg. But she made no adjustment to her mental look(精神面貌).
“Going out in the water, it feels as if there’s nothing wrong with me. It doesn’t matter if you look different. You’re still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.”
She is the owner of many world records, and she also won gold when competing against able-bodied swimmers in the 1,500m freestyle at the All African Games in 2007.
But there is no magic recipe(秘訣) for success. It all comes down to hard work and determination. “She is stubborn, which is good and bad,” said her coach Karoly Von Toros. “Good for the swimming, but bad for the coach.”
There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:
The tragedy (悲劇)of life does not lie in not reaching your goals;
The tragedy of life lies in not having goals to reach for.
【小題1】 Natalie du Tiot is a vivid example that____________________.

A．you are what you believe
B．your biggest enemy is yourself
C．results are not so important as the process
D．you must set reasonable goals or you will fail
【小題2】According to the text , Natalie du Tiot became________________.
A．the first athlete to compete with able-bodied swimmers in the world
B．the youngest disabled swimmer to break the world record in the 1,500m freestyle
C．the youngese disabled swimmer to collect three golds in a single Paralympics
D．the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics
【小題3】Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Natalie du Tiot？
a. She won gold at the All Africa Games.
b. She finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the Olympics
c. She adjusted herself to long events.
d. A motorcycle accident disabled her.
A．cdabB．dcbaC．dcabD．dacb
【小題4】In dark moments it was_______________ that pushed her on.
A．her coachB．her familyC．hope and faithD．her love of swimming
