Jonny Thomas, 14, Florida

When Jonny Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley, who died from cancer, he remembered how much she loved peacocks(孔雀).

He wanted to build a life-sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth’s favorite park in the city. He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired.

Jonny raised $52,000 to build the fountain.

Barrett England, 13, Utah

The wheels began to turn for Barrett England when he heard about Karma Bike shop, a place where young people can earn a free bike by reading and performing community service.

Barrett visited Karma’s owner with his idea: He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them to the shop.

He expected to get about 10 donated bikes. In the end, Barrett received 39.

Zachary Blohm, 15, Wisconsin

The 25-year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee, Wis., was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time.

That’s when Zachary Blohm saved the day. He and some volunteers build a huge playground. To raise money, Zac planned T-shirt and bake sales (烤餅義賣), sold tickets and more. He held monthly money-raising events for more than a year. Overall, he collected $130,000--- enough to finish his project.

Jack Zimmerman, 16, New Jersey

For some people, finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator. For more than 366,000 hungry kids in New Jersey, it’s not that easy.

On game day, Jack and his volunteers started their work. After the final count, the team had packaged 47,124 meals — well above Jack’s goal.

細節(jié)理解題屬直接解答性問題，是閱讀理解題中最簡單的一種，多數屬中低難度的題。但高考所占的比例大，應特別引起注意。事實和細節(jié)題的命題特點是：對文章或某一段落中的一些特定細節(jié)或文章重要事實的理解，一般包括直接理解題和語義轉化題。直接理解題能在原文直接找到答案，而語義轉化題則需要將題目信息與原文信息加工或整理后才能得出結論。

做細節(jié)理解題具體方法與步驟如下：

1.略讀材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；本文介紹了四位為別人著想做公益活動的青少年。

2. 按文章的體裁，作者寫作的組織模式及有關的信息詞。如for example, first, second…等預測應該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實；

3. 將精力放在尋找你所需要的細節(jié)上�？焖偻ㄆ�跳讀，全文掃視，找到細節(jié)出處，待找到含細節(jié)句子時，放慢速度，仔細核對比較內容，直至找到答案。如小題1根據第一部分Jonny Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley, who died from cancer, he remembered how much she loved peacocks.可知，Jonny Michael Thomas建孔雀噴泉是為了紀念一個患癌癥去世的好友。小題2根據第二部分Barrett visited Karma’s owner with his idea: He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them to the shop.可知Barrett為Karma收集和修理二手自行車并把它們捐贈給商店。小題3根據第三部分He and some volunteers build a huge playground.可知Zachary和志愿者們?yōu)閷W生們建了一個大操場。
