A policeman was questioning 3 blondes who were training to become detectives． To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for5 seconds and then hides it．
“This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well．．．uh．．．that's because the picture shows his profile．"
Slightly confused by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer．"
The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses．"
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not． "Well, that's an interesting answer．．．wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that．" He leaves the room and goes to his ．office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face． "Wow!  I can't believe it．．．it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses． Good work! How were you able to make such an acute observation?"
"That's easy," the blonde replied． "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear．"

Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected．But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share Our Soles (S.O.S.) charity．
A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California, Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with knee and hip injuries．
“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and the confidence I got from running,” he says, “And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes．”
Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, then asked his friends to donate．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas this year．When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round endeavor．
Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the YMCA and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups．Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, city gym and recreation center．He has started accepting adult sizes and sandals．So far, S.O.S has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs．
Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes．After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the worn-out ones for recycling．
To ship the footwear, Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, a nonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipment to children around the world．Keven Baxter, founder and president, says, “We’d send kids balls and shoes．I've heard that for many of these kids, these old sneakers are the only shoes they had．They wear them to school and to do sports．So Greg’s running shoes were a nice addition for us．”
For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity．Two young boys in Southern California attended school on alternate days because they shared a pair of shoes．They were too big for one boy and too small for the other．Thanks to S.O.S., each brother received his own pair of shoes．The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning．When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them．
小題1:What caused Greg Woodburn to donate old shoes for poor children?
A．The benefits from playing sports．
B．News about some poor children．
C．His reflection to school life．
D．The medical treatment he received．
小題2:When collecting more sneakers than expected, Woodburn decided to          ．
A．include adult sizes and sandals
B．set up branches in different cities
C．collect shoes throughout the year
D．expand his endeavor in the whole city
小題3:How did Woodburn manage to deliver the shoes collected?
A．By sending them by mail．
B．By working with Sports Gift．
C．By advertising for those in need．
D．By offering them from door to door．
小題4:What can we learn from Keven Baxter’s remarks?
A．Sports Gift is popular around the world．
B．Many children need Greg’s old sneakers．
C．Greg’s running shoes are the best gifts for children．
D．International organization should provide more help．

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29,1958 in Gary, Indiana. Being the seventh child in his family, Michael was often physically abused (虐待) by his father, beaten up and also orally abused. But Michael also owed his success to his father’s strict discipline.

Michael planned to start a 50-concert tour in July 2009. Sadly  on June 25th, 2009, Michael passed away at home. Besides a great performer, showman and entertainer, he was a good and charitable person. Nobody can be another graeter entertainer like Michael Jackson ever again.
