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!

“You can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright.Yes,I’ll do it.”
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more:Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give your time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense,I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies?
5.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?
A.She knows little about the club.
B.She isn’t good at sports.
C.She just doesn’t want to volunteer.
D.She’s unable to meet her schedule.
6.What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Encourage teamwork.
B.Appeal to feelings.
C.Promote good deeds.
D.Provide advice.
7.What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?
A.She gets interested in lacrosse.
B.She is proud of her kids.
C.She’ll work for another season.
D.She becomes a good helper.
8.Why does the author like doing volunteer work?
A.It gives her a sense of duty.
B.It makes her very happy.
C.It enables her to work hard.
D.It brings her material rewards.
