Question

【題目】 Sydney Fredette has a lot things to deal with. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers to serve poor kids and families in Orange County (縣) in California, US.

To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange County who are less lucky than she is.

She began with the simple idea of collecting donated (捐贈(zèng)的) Build－A－Bears, the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.

With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers give out not only the bears, but also clothing, meals and other things.

Not wanting to limit (限制) the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteer team to make a difference through the year.

“I love building relationships with the people I serve,” Fredette said. “The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool.”

Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing a self－development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.

Heading to college herself in the autumn, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her county. In fact, she was regarded as a “Dreamer & Doer” not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。Fredette創(chuàng)建了一個(gè)慈善組織，對(duì)家鄉(xiāng)的貧困孩子和家庭進(jìn)行幫扶，她因此被譽(yù)為“夢(mèng)想家和實(shí)干家”。Fredette及其他志愿者通過(guò)提供志愿活動(dòng)回報(bào)社會(huì)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“She volunteers to serve poor kids and families in Orange County (縣) in California, US”可知，Fredette成立自己的組織是為了幫助那些貧困的孩子和家庭。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“where volunteers give out not only the bears, but also clothing, meals and other things”可知，Beary Merry Christmas這個(gè)組織不止分發(fā)小熊，還分發(fā)諸如衣物、飯菜等物品。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段Fredette說(shuō)的話“The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool”可知，Fredette喜歡聽她曾經(jīng)幫扶過(guò)的人們的故事，喜歡看他們臉上快樂(lè)的神情，對(duì)此她感到很酷，由此可推知她對(duì)自己做過(guò)的事情很滿意。故選C。

【4】最佳標(biāo)題題。本文主要介紹了Fredette創(chuàng)建的組織—— Beary Merry Christma，該組織主要對(duì)貧困的孩子和家庭進(jìn)行幫扶活動(dòng)，Fredette及其他志愿者通過(guò)提供志愿活動(dòng)回報(bào)社會(huì)。由此可知，“回饋社會(huì)”最適合作本文標(biāo)題。故選B。
