Each year, prizes are presented to adults who make great achievements in art, writing, science, and economics. So why not give awards to kids?
Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996. As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world. The awards the World of Children presents are nicknamed（给……起绰号）the “ Children’s Nobel Prize”.
“You know, children are so important,” Leibowitz, a retired business manager, told me. “ We should have prizes for children if we’re going to have prizes for everything else.”
Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder’s Youth Award for Leadership this year. She is only 13 years old, but she has completed a lot. In 2005, she founded “ RandomKid”. Since then, it has raised more than$10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U.S. and in 19 other countries.
One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school. The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa. In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money to buy water pumps（水泵）.
Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become. She said, “ My first goal was to raise $1million. That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher, and we actually raised $10 million.”
I asked her what advice she would offer to other young people who want to help kids in need. “ Well, I’d say the first thing would be to find an adult and tell them your idea,” Talia said. “ They’re really the people who can help, and from there I think it can just really take off.”
【小题1】 The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to tell us .

阅读理解，阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　The ability to memorize things seems to be a vanishing(消失的)technique．So what can we do to bring out brain cells back into-action? A newly published book on memory, Moomvalking with Einstein：The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, by American journalist Joshua Foer, makes a telling point, one that is an analysis of the importance of memorising events and stories in human history; the decline of its role in modem life; and the techniques that we need to adopt to restore the art of remembering．

　　As Foer points out, we no longer need to remember telephone numbers．Our mobile phones do that for us．We don't recall addresses either．We send emails from computers that store electronic addresses．Nor do we bother to remember multiplication tables(乘法表)．Pocket calculators do the job of multiplying quite nicely．Museums, photographs, the digital media and books also act as storehouses for memories that once we had to keep in mind．

　　As a result, we no longer remember long poems or folk stories by heart, feats(技艺)of memory that were once the cornerstones of most people's lives．Indeed, society has changed so much that we no longer know what techniques we should employ to remember such lengthy works．We are, quite simply, forgetting how to remember．

　　And let's face it, there is nothing sadder than someone who has lost their mobile phone and who finds they cannot even phone home or call their parents or partners because they cannot remember a single telephone number．That is a sad example of loss of personal independence．So, yes, there is a need for us to he able to remember certain things in life．

　　Therefore, Foer's book outlines the methods that need to be mastered in order to promote our memories and regain the ability to recall long strings of names, numbers or faces．In the process, he adds, we will become more aware of the world about us．

　　The trick, Foer says, is to adopt a process known as " elaborative encoding", which involves transforming information, such as a shopping list, into a series of "absorbing visual images"．If you want to remember a list of household objects-potatoes, cottage cheese, sugar and other items, then visualise them in an unforgettable manner, he says．Start by creating an image of a large jar of potatoes standing in the garden．Next to it, imagine a giant tub of cottage cheese-the size of an outdoor pool-and then picture Lady Gaga swimming in it．And so on．Each image should be as fantastic and memorable as possible．

　　Using methods like this, it becomes possible to achieve great feats of memory quite easily, Foer says．It certainly seems to have worked for him：he won the annual US Memory Championships after learning how to memorize 120 random digits in five minutes; the first and last names of 156 strangers in 15 minutes; and a deck of cards in under two minutes．"What I had really trained my brain to do, as much as to memorise, was to be more mindful and to pay attention to the world around, " he says．

　　These techniques employed by Foer to master his memory were developed by Ed Cooke-a British writer and a world memory championship grandmaster．He acted as Foer's trainer during preparations for the book and helped him achieve his championship performances．" Memory techniques do just one thing：they make information more meaningful to the mind, making the things we try to learn unforgettably bright and amusing, " said Cooke．

(1)

Which of the following is conveyed in this article?
[　　]
A．	People become more independent with modern equipment．
B．	The memory's role in life is declining in modem society．
C．	Memory techniques can make information less meaningful．

(2)

According to Joshua Foer, people no longer memorize information today because ________．
[　　]
A．	museums can do everything for them．
B．	they no longer have the ability to memorize things．
C．	they have things that can act as storehouses for memories．
D．	it is not necessary to memorize anything in modem life．

[　　]
A．	link things to famous pop stars
B．	find the connection between different things

阅读理解。

     I recently heard a story from Stephen Glenn about a famous research scientist who had made several very
important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he
thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from
others?
     He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he
was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his
grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor-a real sea of milk!
     When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him,
she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle
of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few
minutes before we clean it up?"
     Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like
this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to
do that? We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together
they cleaned up the spilled milk.
     His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a
big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you
can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the
top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
     This famous renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to
be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something
new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't work," we
usually learn something valuable from it.

1. The passage is intended to _____.

A. introduce the life story of a famous scientist
B. compare the different ways of family education
C. reveal the secret of the scientist's success
D. inspire the parents to improve their teaching methods

2. From the passage, we can know that Robert _____.

A. was very naughty when he was two
B. was so working hard as to succeed
C. owes a lot to his education from his mother
D. has made some great contributions to physics research

3. On seeing the spoiled milk, what did the mother do firstly?

A. She comforted his son.
B. She cleaned the floor.
C. She taught how to grasp the bottle.
D. She gave the boy a lecture.

4. Which of the following is the best according to the text?

A. It would be great if all the scientists can know the importance of the failed experiment.
B. It would be great if the experiment doesn't work at all.
C. It would be great if all parents would respond the way Robert's mother responded to him.
D. It would be great if we are more creative than the average person.
