Unit 2 Heroes Section Ⅰ Warm-up Lesson 1-Pre-reading 阅读理解 Toms Shoes founder (创始人) Blake Mycoskie is an American.He spends a great deal of his time giving out shoes in South America and Africa，and giving speeches about his One For One business model (buy a pair of shoes，and a pair is given to someone in need for free)．Now he’s expecting one million people worldwide to take part in the One Day Without Shoes event—spending a day without shoes to have a better understanding of those who do not have a choice.

Part of the book is about challenging (富有挑战性的) people—to volunteer at a homeless shelter or to start a giving program at their business，he explained. The book is simple in design and message.It also calls on people to lead a simple life.“People think they can’t live without many things，” said Mycoskie，who lives on a houseboat to prevent his stuff from increasing.“But in fact，they also understand how not having a lot of stuff to keep lets you lead a more free life.” However，he doesn’t want you to just buy one pair of shoes.“That is a dilemma (两难之境)”，he said.“But nothing is perfect.” 语篇解读　文章介绍了汤姆布鞋创始人Blake Mycoskie帮助他人的事迹。 1．Which of the following is TRUE about the One Day Without Shoes event?
