A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak.

To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange County who are less lucky than she is.

She began with the simple idea of collecting donated (捐赠的) Build－A－Bears, the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.

With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers give out not only the bears, but also clothing, meals and other things.

Not wanting to limit (限制) the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteer team to make a difference through the year.

“I love building relationships with the people I serve,” Fredette said. “The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool.”

Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing a self－development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.

Heading to college herself in the autumn, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her county. In fact, she was regarded as a “Dreamer & Doer” not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.

【1】Why did Fredette start her own organization?

A.Because she wanted to help poor kids and families.

B.Because she wanted to look after the sick.

C.Because she wanted to thank her best friend.

D.Because she wanted to keep her life busy.

【2】What can we learn about Beary Merry Christmas?

A.It holds one activity a year.B.It gives out other things besides bears.

C.It buys bears from the stores.D.It offers service around America.

【3】What can we infer about Fredette?

A.She likes telling people stories.B.She dreams of being a teacher.

C.She is pleased with what she does.D.She plans to leave California for college.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Providing a Food Bank.B.Giving Back to Society.

C.Getting on Well with Others.D.Improving Community Colleges.
