Junelle Lynch knocked on more than 200 doors in the Gayln Manor neighborhood of Brunswick in recent weeks. Her aim is to collect food for Brunswick Food Bank.
“I like helping people a lot,” said Junelle, who celebrated her 11th birthday in July.
With the support of her parents, Junelle walks along the streets with an orange bag. Her mother follows her by car, so Junelle can empty her bag when it becomes heavy. Isabella always accompanies(陪伴) her daughter.
Neighbor Lynda Mallory dropped noodles and canned soup, vegetables and fruit into Junelle’s bag. After visiting the last house, Junelle said she felt good about what she had achieved with the help of her neighbors.
Working an hour a night three times per week, she has collected more than 400 pounds of canned and boxed food. This isn’t the first year she has collected food. Junelle started nearly three years ago, at 8 years old, when she saw a collection box at a grocery store and decided to be a volunteer. In her first year, she collected 80 pounds of food in the undeveloped neighborhood, and 214 pounds the next year. The food helped feed many poor families. Her parents couldn’t be prouder of their daughter.
The Brunswick Food Bank volunteer manager Sandy Cox said, “I find her to be an amazing young lady. I don’t think I’ve seen someone that young who cares about the needs of other people so much. I wish other people would follow her.”

第二節(jié) 語法填空(共10小題,每題2分,共20分)
仔細閱讀下面短文,短文中有10個空格。請按照語境以及括號里的具體要求完成語法填空、詞形變化等。答案填寫在答題卡標號為16—25的對應(yīng)位置。
The holiday’s upon us. After months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, ‘Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and 16 media that offer a lot more 17 (colour) programs. Books are history!”
But don’t be fooled. There’s still a lot to be said for reading and reading as widely as possible.
One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection 18 words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article 19 it is from the TV or the Internet.
But an even more important point is 20 books give you something that modern media simply can not: The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.
Though “easy” may be welcome, 21 (luck) it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品) for a book.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply 22 (choose) what you read and doing it by yourself 23 (mean) that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, 24 while you are reading, you’ll find that what once 25 (seem) like a duty is now a pleasure.

A. From Morgan Dunnivan
Hi, I’m 7 years old and my special angel is my mommy. She takes care of me and our house, works with troublesome teens as a volunteer, takes me to gymnastics every week, and works two jobs. My mommy is my best friend and we are angels for each other. She always thinks of others first. I think she should be the Angel among Us winner. Please pick my mommy. It would be a great Christmas gift for her since I can’t buy her a present.
B. From Michael Allen, Greer Uniontown
Whether I am having a good day or in more cases a really bad day, she never seems to fail me, no matter what the circumstances are. Moreover, she’s by far one of my biggest fans. Mom is a really good-hearted person with a beautiful spirit that always shines through even during my darkest days. She definitely earns her angel wings.
C. From Brianna Callahan, Smock
My special angel is my mother. She is there whenever I need her. In my opinion, she deserves the gift. This gift would surely brighten up her day. She is the one who I can count on to help me or have a hot meal ready for dinner. Moms do that but no one really appreciates them as much as they should be. I just want to make her feel special. There may be a lot of special angels out there, but I think my mom is the only special angel in my heart.
D. From Renee Wheeler, Smithfield
We have been blessed with an angel in our family. I don’t even know if she knows the number of lives she has touched. She just goes on with her everyday tasks and never even realizes the wonderful love that flows from her every move. She is known by so many different titles, like, mom, aunt, sister, friend, neighbor, etc.
E. From Nicole Baughman, Smock
My special angel is my daddy. He is always there for me. He is a very hard-working man. And I’m proud of him to be my daddy. He loves me very much. He’s the one who gives us our allowance. He puts food on the table. He is the best daddy in the world. I love him very much. He stands up for us and he cares for all of us. He picks me up because I am still really too short to pick something up.
F. From Sharon Williams, Uniontown
I met my special angel 32 years ago starting my first job. She trained me as a friend. She introduced me to one of her sons to whom I’ve been married for 20 years. She lovingly raised seven children, and after retiring helped to raise a grandchild who is now in college. Living next door she was always there to help with our two sons, babysitting, fixing them snacks, or teaching them how to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
以下是中獎?wù)咚xangel的獲獎感言,請匹配這些獲獎感言與其對應(yīng)的書信。
46. “I am very happy to get the gift and I am very sorry to seize it from my wife. And I believe that my wife, her mother, does better than me.”
47. “As my son says, this is the best present he can afford for me. I am proud of him to ‘buy’ me the valuable gift when he is so young.”
