The International Painting Contest on Google’s homepage in 2015 may look pretty strange,but it spotlightings a very serious issue:clean water, which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island.

Audrey Zhang,a fifth-grader from Levittown,N.Y,is the winner of this year’s Doodle 4 Google contest,rising to the top of some 100,000 entries on the theme of“draw one thing to make the world a better place.”

Her piece,titled“Back to Mother Nature,”describes a detailed water-cleaning machine.Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate(使……生动)her drawing.

“To make the world a better place,I came up with a transformative water purifier, a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances,”Google quoted Zhang as saying.“It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers,lakes and even oceans,then massively transforms the water into clean,safe and pure water. When humans and animals drink this water, they will live a healthier life.”

She created a whole world around the device—one populated by humans, a whale in a top hat and dragons.

Zhang,s piece is“so vivid and so rich and so full and so complete,’’Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post.“Every leaf seemed to have life in it.”

Along with having her artwork featured on Google’s homepage,Zhang wins a $30,000 college scholarship.In addition,her school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education technology grant,and the company is donating $20,000 in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh.

On Sunday, the night before her work was revealed on net,Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win,but said she wouldn't be awake when her art first went online at midnight.

“I have school-tomorrow, so I can’t stay up late,”she told the paper.

I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.

I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.

Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.

We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.

If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.

1.The incident that happened when the author was four______.

A. hurt the author’s feeling deeply

B. has puzzled the author ever since

C. left a deep impression on the author

D. made the author dislike dogs

2.What made the author think about the story of about 20 years ago?

A. His friend’s attitude.

B. The photo of the dog.

C. His father’s wound.

D. His friend’s suffering.

3.The author's friend said harsh words to the author because______.

A. he was bad-tempered

B. he was suffering the pain of losing his wife

C. he was bothered by an unexpected visit

D. they once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author

4.What conclusion did the author get from the two stories?

A. Misunderstanding should be removed in time.

B. Sometimes one will be hurt without any reason.

C. Many people think more of themselves and less of others.

D. Many factors will affect one’s behavior.

5.What’s the author’s advice to us?

A. Help those in need.

B. Look before you leap.

C. Learn to understand others.

D. Tolerance is a kind of virtue.

It was a secret Eli kept until he was 8 years old.

“He would scream, like we were hurting him when we tried to put a dress on him.” recalled Grace, his mother. That was when Eli was an 18-month-old baby girl already rejecting anything female.

Now, Eli’s mother and Eli are sharing their story with CBS New York. Eli still remembers being a baby, and rejecting putting on a dress. “Oh, I remember that,” he said. “It was like torture.” Now Eli is 11 years old. He is, by all accounts, a happy, active boy who never doubted he was born the wrong sex. Eli said to CBS New York. It was hard to keep that secret for 8 years though, “It was kind of hard because I hadn’t really told anyone ever,” he said.

“He said, ‘I have a secret, and the secret is I don’t want to be a girl. I think I’m a boy,’”Grace recalled. “…I thought, ‘I don’t know what we’re going to do, but we’re going to figure it out.”’

CBS New York reports that it was a less clear path for Ryan, now a 21-year-old man. He, too, was born female, but never felt like one.

He didn’t understand his feelings at the time. Then he learned about what it meant to be transgender on the Internet, and it began to make sense. “It was a relief to know what exactly I was or am,” he said.

Ryan’s mother said at first it was hard to accept. “It’s a scary thing to think about,” she said. But she came around. “I was glad my son is able to become the person he needed to be,” she said.

Experts say the kind of family support both Ryan and Eli are getting is of great significance. Without it, many transgender kids suffer from anxiety, depression and high rates of suicide.

“We see a lot of kids with a lot of mental health concerns, and we also see that those mental health concerns really reduced when the family is on board,” said Jean Malpas of Ackerman Institute for the Family, a non-profit research organization to CBS New York.

Grace said for her it went from a situation that felt really confusing and difficult to one that she now celebrates. “We feel so lucky to have him.” she said.

1.According to the passage, Eli would scream because_________.

A. Eli rejected care and love from parents

B. Eli didn’t want to be dresses as a girl

C. Eli didn’t want to wear anything at all

D. Eli’s parents were torturing their baby

2.Which word can best describe Ryan’s feelings before he turned to the Internet?

A. Confused. B. Angry. C. Relieved. D. Confident.

3.This passage is probably taken from________.

A. a news report

B. a scientific journal

C. a survey report

D. an academic essay

4.What can we learn from this passage?

A. Many people feel difficult to accept who themselves really are.

B . Knowledge about transgender should be made known to more people.

C. Support from family is important to special groups like the transgender.

D. Many non-profit organizations are trying to help people like Eli and Ryan.
