Maria Keller — Teenager Wants Every Kid to Read Indeed!
Books have huge power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to
anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone…or anything. Unluckily, many
children all over the world don’t have chances to read books!
For several years now, Maria Keller, a teenager from America, has been changing
that fact.
When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that
some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother
why that could be, her mother said that they might have no money to buy books. Maria
had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have
bedtime stories read to them. She decided to change this.
With her mother’s help, Maria set up Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a non-profit (非
营利的) organization that is to collect and share books to children in need. During the
early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and share 1 million books by
the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal!
So far, she has collected over 2.4 million books and has sent them to many states
and countries like India, China…She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue
my task, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds
of millions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my goal of 1 million books.”
She recently set a new goal: to give donations (捐赠) to kids in need in every state
in the United States, and every country in the world. She always pays attention to her
progress on a large map at the warehouse (仓库) where they store and sort books.

What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend?
Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in the winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in the winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, few people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong light or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.
Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.
1.Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south?
A. Because they can’t go outside.
B. Because they get less sunlight.
C. Because the weather is too cold.
D. Because the summer is too short.
2.How can sunlight change the way you feel?
A. On a sunny day, you can play outside.
B. Sunlight makes you less tired.
C. Sunlight increases your body temperature.
D. Sunlight helps your body make certain chemicals.
3.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. It is better to live in the south.
B. Southern people feel much happier.
C. More sunlight can make us happier.
D. Northern people often feel unhappy.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Why Is Sunlight Good For You?
B. How Can Exercise Help You?
C. Ways to Feel Happier.
D. Functions (功能) of Exercising More.
