【正文】 nization she created after seeing a show on the difficult situation of AIDS orphans (孤兒 ) in Africa. Ciesemier was inspired to try to change the lives of those affected by AIDS and to encourage other children to do the same. She tells us of the power her personal story has in showing others they too can make a difference. You saw Oprah’s show on AIDS orphans when you were 11 — do you remember how you felt? When I saw the show I was shocked. I had never heard of AIDS before and was concerned that kids were growing up without parents and no one had troubled to ask for my help. I wanted to create a place for kids to get involved and a place where their small contributions would be valued and celebrated. I also felt that I needed to take immediate action myself. I found an orphan sponsorship (贊助 ) program online and an eightyearold girl from Mauritania who needed my help. I started there and Kids Caring 4 Kids grew from that experience. How has your own illness inspired you to help others? Growing up with a rare liver (肝臟 ) disease made me feel different, which I think attracted me to others who were different and those struggling with something. I knew how I felt and I wanted to help reduce that feeling in someone else. I always wanted to support people. Growing up with an illness gave me empathy (移情 ) for others. How does your own story inspire others? My own personal story is evidence that people can give from anywhere. I started Kids Caring 4 Kids from a hospital room. I started by helping one person and it snowballed from there. When I share my story, I think that’s what affects people the most — the fact that I started all of this during a time of personal struggle and weakness. If I could do that, then they can do something too. 21. According to the text, Kendall Ciesemier .

Four years later, the couple now dishes out banana pancake breakfasts, cleans toilets, serves homemade cookies to guests in a bed and breakfast surrounded by trees on a mountain known for colorful sunsets. “Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No,” says Ms. Giddens. “This is a phenomenon (現(xiàn)象 ) that’s fairly widespread. A lot of people are rethinking their lives and figuring out what they want to do.” Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work and muting (通勤 ) less, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job. Vicki Robin, a writer, tells us how she deals with the changes in her budget (預(yù)算 ), now far less than what she used to make. “Y ou bee conscious of where your money is going and how valuable it is,” Ms. Robin says. “You tend not to use things up. You cook at home rather than eat out. You find your life is not a mess anymore, and you discover your living costs have gone way down.” Ja Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a babysitter for two weeks. “It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids,” she says. “Simplicity is not just about saving money。 聽第 6段材料，回答第 7題。 第 Ⅰ 卷 選擇題 （滿分 100分） 第一部分 聽力（共 20 小題；每小題 分，滿分 30 分） 第一節(jié) 聽下面 5段對(duì)話。 ,第二卷的非選擇題答在答題卷上。每段對(duì)話或獨(dú)白讀兩遍。并在答題卡上將該選項(xiàng)涂黑。 Do you know about Dolly, a famous sheep?
