Question

【题目】阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Once upon a time there was a writer who liked to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the beach. As he looked down the beach, he saw someone moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to cateh up. As he got closer, he saw that a young man was reaching down to the shore, picking something up and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer, he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young man stopped, looked up and answered, "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?"

"The sun is up, and the tide(潮汐) is going out, and if I don't throw them in, they'll die."

"But, young man, don't you see that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it? You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely, then picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one." And he kept throwing starfish.

There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us can make a difference in life. If we know that, we have the power to shape the future.
