問題詳情:
Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot buy shoes each time a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go without shoes. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites (寄生蟲) from the soil.
An American man may have a solution for those kids a shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of the shoe that grows. He says, “The shoe can grow in the front; it can also grow on the side with Velcro fastener and on the back a buckle (鎖釦). It can last up to five years. The bottom is compressed (壓縮的) rubber like what is used for a tire. The top is high-quality leather.” The shoes come in two sizes: small ones that fit children aged 4 to 9 and large ones for children aged 9 to 14.
Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage (孤兒院) in Kenya. He says, “There was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. They were so small for her feet that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her?’”
However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. “The real reason why it was important for me to try to make the shoes that could grow was to help. So I made a promise to myself.”
In 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International,Lee kept a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. “I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done. So, those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years. But once we finally made the shoe that grows, then I got some new shoes.”
19. What’s the purpose of Kenton Lee’s words in Paragraph 2?
A. To encourage us to buy the shoes.
B. To tell us the shoes are of high quality.
G. To show us the shoes have various types.
D. To give us general information about the shoes.
20. How did Kenton Lee respond when seeing the little girl?
A. He thought the girl was really small.
B. He couldn’t believe what he saw at all.
C. He wanted to invent shoes that grow.
D. He was determined to collect money to help her.
21. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Many children need shoes in poor countries.
B. An American man helped poor people in Kenya.
C. Children should wear shoes to protect themselves.
D. An American man invented shoes that grow with a child.
