高二年级第一次月考英语试题 第I卷 Richie Kraus thinks all kids should receive birthday presents. And hes willing to give up his own presents to make that happen. When Richie was six, he helped collect holiday gifts for children whose families couldnt afford presents. He started thinking about how much he liked getting presents on his birthday. He asked his mom, If we get kids presents during the holidays, who gets them presents on their birthdays? Richie wanted to raise money for those birthday presents. So his mom helped him create the 2U Fund. The name 2U came from the well-known song Happy Birthday to You. Richie explains how the fund works: On our birthdays, we ask our friends to make a donation instead of giving us presents. Richie attaches a special sticker to his party invitations. The sticker tells about the 2U Fund and invites guests to participate, Richie and his mom then give the money to a local charity that has agreed to partner with them. The people at the charity make sure the donations go toward birthday presents for kids in need. Richie has had three 2U parties. It just feels really, really good to help other kids, he says. Richie has encouraged others to try giving up some of their birthday presents to help others. His younger brother, Max, had a 2U party. Some of Richies friends did, too. He also spoke about the idea at a summer camp and at a school assembly (集会). There were close to 200 students and teachers in the assembly, Richie s teacher, Janel McCormick, says. They all wanted to help support 2U. Since Richie and his family started the 2U Fund, dozens of kids have helped raise more than $7,000.
