Kendall Ciesemier says she’s like any other schoolgirl. She keeps herself busy with school, friends and family. There is one thing, though. Not many other 14-year-olds can say they run a successful charity helping children in Africa. In three years, the eighth-grader from the US has raised $100,000 for African AIDS orphans (孤儿).

Kendall knew she had to help the children of Sub-Saharan Africa once their terrible situation was shown on The Oprah Winfrey Show. “I could not imagine how I would go through such a hard time that they would have to go through,” Kendall says. She took $360 of her own savings to help a little girl from Zambia that same night.

That was just the start. Kendall sold bread and soft drinks with her classmates at her school to raise more money. She also sold “Bow-Wow Bling Bling” dog necklaces to raise more. The money helps children pay for things like shoes and school uniforms. Kendall says, “A uniform to go to school costs $10. Ten dollars. Here, it’s not a lot of money, but there, that means too much money. I mean, it could change a whole kid’s life.”

Kendall has had her own health struggles. She was born with a disease called biliary atresia (胆道闭锁), and had two liver transplants (肝移植) in 2004. “I’m just a girl who wants to help those kids who are in trouble,” said Kendall.

47. How did Kendall feel when she watched The Oprah Winfrey Show?

A. Happy. B. Nervous. C. Worried. D. Surprised.

48. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. How Kendall started to help African children.

B. How Kendall received money from other people.

C. Why Kendall went through a lot of hard times.

D. Why Kendall was different from other schoolgirls.

49. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ______.

B. many African students can’t afford a school uniform

C. Kendall provides the African kids with food and clothes

D. most African kids don’t like to wear school uniforms

50. Which of the following about Kendall is NOT true?

A. She had been seriously ill. B. She is an American schoolgirl.

C. She sells uniforms to kids. D. She runs a successful charity.

阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Scientists often see the first ten years of a child’s life as the “window of opportunity”. 51 And studies show that the following activities can benefit their brain greatly.

52

Free playtime has always been an important part of “being a kid”, but it is also important to a child’s development. “Free play” not only helps kids develop different skills, it also helps them develop into happy healthy adults in the future.

Read with kids

Reading has long been known to improve children’s intelligence. 53 For parents who don’t have much time, just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way too.

Put kids to bed early

54 Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep and kids up to age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.

Learn a second language

Early studies in this field have shown that bilingual (双语的) kids can perform better under pressure. Young children can learn new language with nearly perfect fluency(流利) and pronunciation.

Praise good effort not intelligence.

Your kids may be smart but you should mainly praise the effort they put into tasks. Kids, who are praised on intelligence, often feel it is a fixed quality, and mistakes or failures badly hurt their self-confidence. Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning . 55

A. Play some helpful game.

B. Give them enough playtime.

C. And they are not afraid to fail and try again.

D. Kids still need time away from the TV to do homework.
