21、More than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (复活节滚彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal to get children to eat right and keep moving.

“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.

Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that “exercise isn’t just hard work, it’s play. If you’re running around with your dog, you’re getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that’s exercise. But if you’re sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you’re not exercising.”

The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt. “And if you are active, you can splurge (挥霍) a little more,” she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite “splurge food” is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.

“A lot of kids look up to athletes, and I think it’s important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. “Kids aren’t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He’s practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them — they can say to kids, ‘If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”

22、When Rukhsana Khan came in and sat down, I honestly thought that it was just going to be another story and wasn’t going to be very good. But when she started talking, telling the story called The Roses In My Carpet, I felt like I had just entered a whole new world. A world where there was only Rukhsana, me and lots of knowledge. I was learning so many new things.

When the story was done, she began to talk about how she came to write the book. She talked about Pakistan and Afghanistan. I listened closely. It was so surprising. As she was talking, I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what it would be like to live in a refugee camp. I put myself in the little girl's place. In my mind, I was going to get firewood for my family. I was walking home with the firewood, when a bomb dropped, right over my head. At that time, I had to open my eyes. I was too frightened. The little girl would have been frightened, too. It would be terrible to only have bread, water, and tea for food. I think that a life without electricity would be terrible. No electricity meant cold winters, hot summers, no TV, no computers, no lights and no fridges. It would be so bad. Besides, I am a book lover. In the refugee camp, they don't even have books. It is hard to imagine. We have so many libraries filled with books. We are so lucky. We live in strong, brick houses. We have whole refrigerators full of food. We have tons of games.

I think the speech was very moving. I loved it. From now on, I will make sure that I appreciate what I have, a lot more than before.

One rainy day, Bruce lay in a cave, tired and felt sick at heart, ready to give up all hope, seemed to him that there was no use for him to try to do anything more.

As he lay thinking, he noticed a spider over his head, getting ready to weave her web. He watched her as she worked slowly and with great care. Six times she tried to throw her in thread from one edge of the cave wall to another. Six times her thread fell short.

“Poor thing!” said Bruce. “You, too, know what it’s like to fail six times in a row.”

But the spider did not lose hope. With still more care, she was ready to try for a seventh time. Robert almost forgot his own trouble as he watched, fascinated. She swung herself out on the slender thread. Would she fail again? No! The thread was carried safely to the cave all, and fastened there.

“Yes!” cried Bruce, “I, too, will try a seventh time!”

So he got up and called his men together. He told them of his plans, and sent them out with hopeful messages to cheer the discouraged people. Soon there was an army of brave men around him.

24、As an elementary school student in New York City, Robert Lee would stare in disbelief at his classmates throwing about half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His Korean immigrant parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food.

While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a week, leftovers (剩饭菜) from the dining hall to nearby homeless shelters.

When Robert and fellow club member Louisa entered a college entrepreneurship (创业) contest, they proposed a slightly different idea for a food-rescue non-profit group: They would gladly pick up one bag of leftover bagels or a single pot of soup, would operate seven days a week, and would be staffed entirely by volunteers.

Their idea won the competition. With the＄1, 000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert’s team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food.

Robert, who had taken job as an analyst at J.P. Morgan, devoted his spare time to creating a network of New York City restaurants that agreed to donate food, and he enlisted volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. To date, RLC has distributed more than 250, 000 pounds of food in 12 cities around the country.

Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to focus on RLC. “I compared one hour of impact at J.P. Morgan to one hour at RLC, and the difference was just huge,” he says. He’s now the group’s only full-time employee.

“One shelter recently told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week,” Robert says. “Things like that make me glad I quit my job.”

【1】How did Robert feel about his classmates’ behaviour?

A．Angry.

B．Concerned.

C．Pitiful.

D．Astonished.

【2】What did Robert do at New York University in addition to study?

A．He helped his classmates who threw away food carelessly.

B．He co-founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC).

C．He established a food-rescue club to make better use of leftovers.

D．He fully focused his attention on study.

【3】What did Robert give up to completely devote himself to RLC?

A．His college education.

B．His health.

C．His well-paid job.

D．His spare time.

【4】What might Robert want to focus in his life?

A．Public welfare.

B．Public recognition.

C．Personal wealth.

D．Finance and accounting.
