Boy Scout is sending 69 boxes of clothes to Afghanistan, in a project inspired by his father’s employment to the war-torn region.

Nick Shawen decided to begin a clothing drive after receiving e-mails from his father. His mother said they learned of children coming into the hospital and losing their belongings.“They had to cut the clothes off because, you know, they were completely damaged,” she said.

When her 16-year-old son decided to start a collection, it quickly became a family affair. Even Nick’s 4-year-old sister wanted to give her help. “I’m going to Afghanistan because there are kids who need help there,” Maren Shawen said.

The Shawens started asking people at their school, church and community to send them clothes. “I’ve collected 69 boxes of clothes and toys to send down there,” Nick said. “I’d never imagined I’d end up doing something like this.”

The boxes will be shipped from Gaithersburg to Afghanistan, where Nick’s dad, Major Scott Shawen, is stationed as an army doctor. He was sent to the desert of Afghanistan to treat soldiers but spent much of his tour helping civilians.

“Being able to have my son’s Eagle project help out with what I’m doing makes me very happy,” Scott Shawn said.

The Shawens have sent 300 pairs of shoes, 1,000 shirts, 25 soccer balls and medicine to Afghanistan. One recipient said he accepted items for his son and was very happy.

“We tend to have extra of almost everything,” Nick Shawen said. “But in a lot of places, people don’t have enough and I think it’s kind of important that people give up a little bit and try to help people who need it more than they do.”

57. Why was Scott Shawen sent to the desert of Afghanistan?

A. To do medical research there.

B. To treat the civilians in the war-torn area.

C. To treat the soldiers stationed there.

D. To help the suffering people there.

58. In what way did Nick learn the situation of the Afghan Kids?

A. Through the news on the radio.

B. By reading letters written by his father.

C. Through the news on TV.

D. By reading e-mails sent by his father.

59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Nick’s sister wanted to go to Afghanistan because her father worked there.

B. The Shawens have sent 69 soccer balls to Afghanistan.

C. Those who received the help felt very happy.

D. The Eagle Project was started by Nick’s father.

60. What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Boxes of Clothes Sent to Afghan Kids.

B. A Soldier’s Son Helps Afghan Kids.

C. Give up a lot and Help Those in Need.

D. Eagle Scout: A Project Helping Afghanistan.

In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. The sun shone at an angle across the field. The game unfolding in baseball time. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could gather. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin square in the chest.

His heart stopped.

When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift at the hospital had been changed, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the unconscious boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and administered CPR, breathing into his mouth and administering chest press.

And he came back.

It was a good thing, for a good kid. Kevin wasn't just a volunteer for his brother's baseball team --- he was a Boy Scout, one who went on to achieve Scouting's highest rank, Eagle. He became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant. He liked the people, but the work could be hard and pretty routine. Until the afternoon of January 27, 2006.

Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hustled into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking. Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts, he pulled suddenly inward and up, once, twice, administering the Heimlich maneuver. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.

"The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe," she said. She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened.”

Guess who the woman was ? Penny Brown

I can’t count how many times people have complained, while shaking their heads in obvious disappointment,“just don’t know what is with teenagers today.”
The other day I was in my car on my way to the farmers market when I passed two teens standing by the side of the road with a car washing sign. My car was filthy and my heart was full, so I pulled over. There was a group directing the cars and another group spraying them down. As sponges(海绵) were wiped over every square inch of my dirty car, I sat enjoying the little water bottles. I was amazed at why forty to fifty teenagers had devoted their Saturday to washing cars.
After I handed them a twenty-dollar bill I asked what they were raising money for. They explained to me that a friend of theirs, C.T.Schmitz, had recently died of cancer. He was only fifteen years old. He had gone to school with a lot of the teenagers who were there that day and each of them had memories of a boy sweeter than any they had known. His friend Kevin had decided to put this car wash together because he wanted to honor his friend and also bring together his classmates with his boy scout troop(童子军). He told me that they wanted to plant a tree in front of their school and if they raised enough money they would put a plaque(纪念匾) there also. Both would be in memory of their friend C.T.
They handed me a bag of homemade cookies with my receipt(收据) saying“Thanks for helping us plant a tree of C.T.”
Yeah! I don’t know what is with teenagers today!
