Isn’t it clear that compared with our glorious selves, kids these days are self-absorbed social network addicts?However, this summer, my impression of today’s kids has been restored by the story of Rachel Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity and unselfishness —even though she’s just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.At age 5, Rachel had her long hair short off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that’s what she did.Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wellsin Africa through an organization called charity: water. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity: water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 —which had left her just a bit disappointed.Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends, seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel’s birthday page —/Rachel —and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.But Rachel couldn’t hear that she had raised beyond the $47,544 that the singer Justin Bieber had raised for charity: water on his 17th birthday. “I think Rachel would have been overjoyed for she secretly had a crush on (迷恋) him,” Rachel’s mom said.When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life support system. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other children.Word ab out Rachel’s last fund-raising spread. Contributions poured in, often in $9 each. The total donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working creatively.8.

A kind girl, Rachel.DEvery year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals. Evan Lutz, CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, was inspired to act after seeing extreme poverty in areas of Baltimore. Maryland. He wants to reduce the so-called food desert in that area. His work is to make sure the food goes to waste and no person is ever hungry in America. And he combines that goal with a love for business.Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells fruits and vegetables that most food companies will throw away. Everything doesn’t grow the same way on a farm. But all that is too big or too small gets thrown out. That is why everything in a grocery store looks similar. Hungry Harvest will box those imperfect ones and deliver them to customers once a week.For every purchase, Hungry Harvest delivers healthy food to people in need. Hungry Harvest has recovered 300,000 pounds of produce to date and provided 100,000 pounds to those in need.Lutz established Hungry Harvest in 2014. Its success depends on team work. Every week on Monday or Tuesday they will decide what will go into the next week’s box by calling up packing houses and wholesalers to see what they will normally throw away that week. They then place the order. The last step is to send goods to customers.In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show “Shark Tank” and got even more than he expected: $100,000. Lutz is using themoney to expand. Actually, more than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to “ugly” surface. Hungry Harvest is on the way to saving more food from going to waste and feeding hungry families.12. What do the underlined words “food desert” mean?A. Food that grows in the desert.B.
