The Spring Bud Project was organized by the China Children and Teenagers’ Fund(CCTF), under the leadership( 领导) of the All China Women’s Federation(联合会). The fund was started by Madam Zhou Jiebing, who donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
The purpose of the Spring Bud Project is to raise the quality of women’s education and ability from childhood. It has tried a lot to raise funds both at home and abroad and its aim is to help dropout girls in China’s poor, rural areas return to school.
In the past ten years, more than 10 million children in China have left schools because their families are too poor, and 70% of these dropouts are girls. In fact, girls’ education has become one of the most difficult problems in China. The CCTF wants to help hundreds of thousands of girls return to school, so it set up the Spring Bud Project.
Thanks to donations from so many people and organizations, by the end of 2009, the Spring Bud Project had raised 800 million yuan in total, built more than 1,000 Spring Bud schools, aided more than 2 million girls to return to school and provided technical training for more than 400,000 girls.

Bob Butler lost his legs in 1965 in Vietnam. Later he returned to the USA and began his life in wheelchair (轮椅). One day he was working in his yard when he heard a woman calling for help.

What can we learn from the special, very successful people in the world who make the impossible possible?
Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed
Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas.
Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect
Find your answers from facts — not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen from Northwestern University believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy comets(彗星) or planets which hit into Earth.
However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acts like a sponge(海绵). This suggests that Earth's water may have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity.
“I had a pretty hard time making others believe it,” he said. “But thinking about the fact that you may the first person to see something for the first time doesn’t happen very often. When it does, it’s amazing.”
Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way
Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency’s “Philae”, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which is 480 million kilometers away. The trip from Earth by “Philae” had taken ten years!
The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted.
When “Philae” tried to land, it bounced(弹起) away from the comet’s icy surface twice. Luckily, however, “Philae” landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth.
1.Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn’t finish college because_________.

2.In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that _________.
A. we should get answers from facts
B. we can believe what we are taught
C. it’s hard to make others believe something
D. an expectation can help get an answer in research
3.The example “Philae” in Lesson 3 shows that _________.
A. Comet 67P is not far away from Earth
B. it took “Philae” 20 years to reach Comet 67P
C. “Philae” landed on Comet 67P with a little luck

4.The best title for this passage is ______.
