阅读理解 Each year, prizes are presented to adults who make great achievements in art, writing, science, and economics. So why not give awards to kids?Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996. As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world. The awards the World of Children presents are nicknamed（给……起绰号）the “ Children’s Nobel Prize”.“You know, children are so important,” Leibowitz, a retired business manager, told me. “ We should have prizes for children if we’re going to have prizes for everything else.”Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder’s Youth Award for Leadership this year. She is only 13 years old, but she has completed a lot. In 2005, she founded “ RandomKid”. Since then, it has raised more than$10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U.S. and in 19 other countries.One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school. The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa. In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money to buy water pumps（水泵）.Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become. She said, “ My first goal was to raise $1million. That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher, and we actually raised $10 million.”I asked her what advice she would offer to other young people who want to help kids in need. “ Well, I’d say the first thing would be to find an adult and tell them your idea,” Talia said. “ They’re really the people who can help, and from there I think it can just really take off.”1.The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to tell us .A.the origin of the Nobe1 PrizeB.the achievements Harry and his wife madeC.how the “ Children’s Nobe1 Prize” was startedD.how Harry and his wife helped kids2.The World of Children presents awards to those who .A.help the kids in the U.SB.realize the importance of educationC.raise a lot of money for the poorD.do a lot to help kids in need3.Which of the following is TRUE about Talia?A.She founded a hospital for 500 kids in Iowa.B.She offered money to buy water pumps for Africans.C.She helped teach 300 kids in a school in Cambodia.D.She built a school for 200 kids in Louisiana.4.What advice is given by Talia to those who want to help kids in need?A.To ask for an idea from adults.B.To set a higher goal at first.C.To win help from adults.D.To make an idea become popular.
