【题目】Vivienne Harr wants to make the world a better place for all kids. She sells lemonade(柠檬饮 )to help children around the world.

At the age of 8, Vivienne saw a photo of two young boys carrying large, heavy rocks on their backs. These children were the same age as Vivienne, but they did not have the same freedom and opportunities(机会).

In some parts of the world, children are made to work hard long days. They earn(赚钱)little or no pay. They do not go to school. Vivienne wants to make a difference in this. “I want all kids to be able to play and happy,” Vivienne, now 10, says.

To help raise money for children like the two boys in the photo, Vivienne set up a lemonade stand(摊位)near her home in Marin County, California. She decided to work every day for a year, rain or shine. “Sometimes, it was hard for me, when the weather was bad or I wasn’t feeling well,”

Vivienne says, “but I knew that other kids were having a harder time than I was at that very moment.”

Vivienne wanted to raise $100,000 in 365 days. On day 175, she passed her goal(目标). But that didn’t stop Vivienne from working. With her family, she started Make a Stand, Inc. The company now bottles Vivienne’s lemonade and sells it in 130 stores around the country. A high percentage of sales go to help Vivienne’s dream of making the world a better place for all children.
