An 8-year-old Miami boy, Joshua Williams, is president of his own non-profit organization---Joshua’s Save the World. His organization provides food and clothes for p 81

people and families in Miami and the neighboring areas.

Joshua has r 82 thousands of dollars for his organization. He started to help the hungry when he was just 5. He was in his mother’s car when they passed a beggar. Joshua asked his mother to stop so that he could give him $20. “It’s my m83 . I want to help him, Mum,” Joshua recalled. One year later, he created his organization with the help of his mother and Francine Hanna, a local bu sinesswoman. “He just thought that was what he wanted to do,” his mother said. “And there was nothing that could s84 him.”

The organization now provides clothing, furniture and food for the poor people in America. At the same time, Joshua never misses a c 85 to encourage other people to follow what he did whether at church or on the streets. Earl Laird lost his job two years ago and hasn’t managed to get a n 86 one. Without money, he can’t pay for the flat and has to live on the street. He depends on food from Joshua’s Save the World. “Joshua is an angel (天使) from God,” he said.

Joshua has won Miami’s “Do the Right Thing” award and the “Kids Who Care” competition, which awarded him a $1,000 note. Even though he has a 87 done plenty, he said that his

mission (使命)to provide for the poor is far from finished. “I want to get a team together,” Joshua said. “I want my team to go out and give food to people who have a need for it. I want to spread love to countries in Africa.”

The story behind the shopping cart

Characters

Sylvan Goldman – owner of a grocery shop （反面还有试题）

Fred Young –Sylvan’s friend, a mechanic(机械师)

One night in 1936, in an Ame rican city. Inside Fred’s workshop, Sylvan sits next to Fred, who is making adjustments(调试) to their new i 81 – a shopping cart.

Sylvan: My customers don’t like our shopping cart.

Fred: Really? So they p 82 shopping with those heavy baskets?

Sylvan: (nods) I’ve got a huge crowd of customers every day, b 83 none of them wants to use the cart.

Fred: I don’t understand. We invented the cart so that people don’t need to carry a basket around the shop.

Sylvan: (laughs) And so that they will buy more groceries!

Fred: So why don’t they like the shopping cart?

Sylvan: Young men think that pushing a cart around makes them look w 84 and slow, and young women think it’s unfashionable.

Fred: Of course it isn’t fashionable right now. It’s only just been invented! But I’m sure older people will appreciate it.

Sylvan: Um…

Fred: What? They don’t like the cart e 85 ?

Sylvan: Well, they think pushing it makes them look helpless!

Fred: Oh no. We need to do something, Fred. We can’t just g 86 up on this invention!

Sylvan: We won’t. (He gets up and walks around the room. Suddenly, he stops.) Aha! I’ve got an idea.

Fred: What is it?

Sylvan: I’ll hire(雇佣) some good-looking guys and girls to push the

carts around and pretend they’re shopping.

Fred: Oh! So the real shoppers will see these attractive people

using the carts and think, “Hey, if it’s good enough for them, it’s good

enough for me!”
