Matt grows the nicest vegetables in the village. He grows sweet pears and apples. And what else? Well, the biggest and the most beautiful flowers.

  Things grow in Matt's garden all the year round. He cuts some flowers for his sitting room table, and, of course, he eats some fruit and vegetables. But he sells everything else in the market. Matt is not a poor man.

  He knows a few other gardeners, but he has not any friends. People there don't understand him and his garden. Matt plants things in spring, summer, autumn and winter in his garden. After that, he does very little work. He just sits down in the garden with his small radio. And then everything grows.

  People don't know why Matt grows so wonderful things. Sometimes he waters the plants and most time he does nothing but listen to his radio under an old apple tree. He listens to the radio all day! But his plants grow the best! And it's quite true! People there don't understand it, so they don't like Matt very much. And so nobody would like to make friends with him.

Dear Reader,
Imagine an 11-year old girl whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the field.
Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can’t fill her stomach with water because it’s polluted, and who has watched life slip away from her father, little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.
Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.
Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. If Maria grows up without any schooling, what will be her future?
But for just 52 pennies a day, you can sponsor a child like Maria. Through “Save the Children”, you can help Maria’s mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.
To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital…bring in clean water. This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.
For you there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person. Not with a handout(施舍物), but a “handup”. That’s how “Save the Children” works. But without you, it can’t work. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form below to help a child like Maria and her village.
It can make such a difference in her life and yours.
【小題1】We can most probably read the letter in __________.
A.somebody’s diary B.a(chǎn) newspaper
C.a(chǎn) progress reportD.a(chǎn) storybook

A.Maria is an 11-year-old girl.
B.Maria’s family is very poor.
C.Maria has to do a lot of hard work.
D.Maria is hoping to get schooling.
【小題3】What is “Save the Children”?
A.An organization to help poor children go to school.
B.An office of the government to collect money.
C.A program shown at theatres to help the poor.
D.A group who works for children in poor places.
【小題4】The underlined word “sponsor” means “__________” in Chinese.
A.回報B.資助     C.感恩    D.搶救
【小題5】What does the last sentence in the letter mean?
A.If Maria goes to school, you will be rewarded.
