考点规范练 34 Unit 4 Sharing Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Books have great power.Between their pages,readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone...or anything.Unfortunately,many children all over the world don’t have access to books! For several years till now,Maria Keller,a 14-year-old girl from Minneapolis,Minnesota,has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old,Maria already loved reading.She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did.When she asked her mother why that could be,her mother said that they might not be able to afford books.Maria had never thought of this.She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them.She became determined to change this. With her mother’s help,Maria created Read Indeed.Read Indeed is a non-profit organization aiming to collect and distribute books to children in need.During the early stages of Read Indeed,Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she is 18.It didn’t take that long for her to reach that goal! Today,at age 14,she has collected over 1.8 million books and has shipped them to many states and countries around the world.She says,“I cannot live without books.As I continue my mission (使命),I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions.So I just can’t give up,even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.” She’s recently set a new goal:to distribute books to kids in need in every state in the United States,and every country in the world.She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse where she stores and sorts books.Maria believes that she can get support from even more people! 1.What had Maria never thought of before she was eight? A.Some of her classmates had no textbooks. B.Some of her classmates didn’t like reading.
