Sun Tours: Short breaks in New York
DAY 1: TIMES SQUARE AND THE LINCOLN CENTER
Welcome to New York—the Big Apple! Here in New York the wonders of the Big Apple exceed (超出) all expectations—the fantastic skyline, wonderful restaurants, theaters, museums, shops and attractions. On your first day you will visit the famous Lincoln and Rockefeller Centers, and drive down Fifth Avenue. You will drive through Times Square, the “Crossroads of the World”. You will then travel to Central Park, a miracle in the center of Manhattan. Lunch is on your own, but this evening you will have dinner at the famous Jekyll and Hyde club, where the waiters are all dressed as vampires（吸血鬼）, and at some point in the evening Frankenstein （科学怪人）comes to life.
DAY 2: EXPLORING THE CITY
The entire day is yours for sightseeing and shopping. Explore the attractive city of New York with its skyscrapers, bridges, historic landmarks and Broadway theaters.
DAY 3: DOWNTOWN AND SOUTH STREET SEAPORT
Today you will visit Greenwich Village, Wall Street and the World Trade Center. You will visit South Street Seaport, a 19th-century seaport with narrow streets, hundreds of shops, an international food stand and street entertainment. This afternoon you will visit Chinatown, and finally the Empire State Building Observatory, which towers 1,250 feet above New York City. You will use the high-speed elevators to go to the top, unlike King Kong who climbed up the outside of the building. This evening, you will have dinner at the well-known Tavern-on-the-Green restaurant overlooking Central Park.

Ashley C.Ford, a New York City writer, recently appealed to her 66 000 Twitter followers. “A cool thing you can do today is to try to find out which of your local schools have kids with overdue（过期未付的）lunch accounts and pay them off.”
Children from the poorest families get free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. But some struggle to pay even reduced prices. Some of the IOUs（借据）come from kids who simply forget their lunch money or parents who can afford to pay but neglect to keep prepaid accounts up to date.
People around the country have been inspired by Ashley C. Ford to donate money to pay off debts owed by parents that can follow kids throughout their school careers.
“It really hit home for me,” said Kristina Arwood, who launched a campaign that raised $20,000 to pay lunch debts in her region. “I grew up on free and reduced-price lunches, but even that 40 cents was hard to get together with four kids. There were times I wouldn't eat because I didn't have money.”
The effort drew some criticism from people who said some of the money is owed by parents who can afford the $2.50 for lunch but let their accounts run into the red. But the response has been mostly positive.
“It's unrealistic to think donations are going to fix this problem for all school districts,” said Diane Pratt-Heavner, spokeswoman for the association.
Ford said her real aim was to inspire a bigger wave of community giving. She said, “It was just one idea; another school might need help with uniforms or tutoring. The point was to do something that helps people in your community.”
1.Kids with overdue lunch accounts may be those ________.
A. who refuse to bring their lunch money to school
B. whose parents are unwilling to pay the accounts in advance
C. whose family fail to pay for their meals even at reduced prices
D. who would have the debts follow them throughout their school years
2.Which of the following statements about the campaign launched by Ashley C.Ford is RIGHT?
A. It could solve the problem of school children failing to pay their meals.
B. It received wide support and criticism from some people as well.
C. It raised enough money to cover the IOUs in all school districts.
D. It also focused on helping kids with their school uniforms.
3.What did Kristina mean by saying "It really hit home for me" in Paragraph 4?
A. She was rather surprised at what the kids experienced.
B. She felt as if she were stricken by the kids' sufferings.
C. She felt touched because of her similar experiences in childhood.
D. Her family were suffering because of her donation to the campaign.
4.What is Ashley C. Ford's real aim to appeal to her Twitter followers to donate to the kids?
A. To ensure that the government get universal free meals for all students.
B. To arouse people's concern about those who need uniforms or tutoring.
C. To raise enough money to pay the lunch debts in all the schools.
D. To encourage more people to take action to help those in need.
