Aubrey is a FedEx driver who has made regular delivery stops in a rural neighborhood in Indiana.During her stops there,she would see an 11-year-old boy,Elijah,playing basketball with an old and rusty bent hoop.
    "It was crazy to me how happy he was with the broken hoop.Every time I saw him,he was so joyful playing basketball.Seeing him so happy stuck with me," said Aubrey.
   The FedEx driver thought about Elijah many times over the months,and decided that she wanted to bless him in a special way. "I just wouldn't stop thinking about it.I really wanted to get him a hoop.He deserves it."
   Aubrey went out and bought a new basketball hoop and installed it when the family wasn't home.She left a note that read:"Just wanted you and your son to have the best hoop that'll grow with him and all his friends." She signed herself "just one of the FedEx drivers in the area".
   "I read the note,and the moment I realized who it was from,I started to cry," said Coledo,Elijah's mom. "When Elijah came home and I showed it to him,he got really emotional.He got teary-eyed but he's an 11-year-old boy,so he really didn't want to admit he was crying," laughed Coledo. "He just sat there for 10 minutes staring at the hoop until it really touched him that she went out of her way to do something just for him."
   Aubrey had no idea how much her surprise gift had impacted Elijah and his family.They all had gone through a difficult year with Coledo's husband suffering a serious injury,and Coledo crashing her car. "It's just been a hard year.We're so humbled and grateful she would do this for us.This has been a huge thing for us," said Coledo.
   When Aubrey made another FedEx delivery to their neighborhood,Elijah saw her,ran to her and hugged her.Elijah also gave Aubrey a card he made for her.And he invited her to play a game of basketball with him and his younger brother.
   "It was almost like we'd always known each other.I really bonded with the boys," said Aubrey. "I'm just really happy they know that someone is out there for them."

  • 2.There is an old saying in Chinese: "To do a good job,one must first sharpen one's tools." When it comes to photography,however,it's not exactly the case.In this year's National Geographic Travel Photo Contest,Greenlandic Winter,a picture by Chinese photographer Chu Weimin,took first place in the cities category and won the overall grand prize as well.
       When asked why he chose Upernavik,a small fishing village in Greenland,to take his pictures,Chu described the first time he spotted the village from an airplane. "Through my entire flight,I could only see the land,covered by pure white ice and snow.But I suddenly saw a big,warm dot in the far distance — Upernavik," he told National Geographic. "The beauty of this tranquil(寧靜的)village was beyond my imagination.It was a 'wow' moment for me." This ability to identify a "wow moment" is what makes a good travel photographer.
       According to Chu,he was moved by Upernavik's blue tint at dusk,the warm yellow light from the windows,and the family of three walking along the snowy street.Although he is a professional photographer,many of Chu's Greenland pictures were shot with his phone.
       This attitude echoes that of Austrian-American photographer Ernest Haas(1921-1986).Haas told his students that they were too obsessed with cameras to understand the essence of photography. "The camera doesn't make a bit of difference," Haas said. "All of them can record what you are seeing.But you have to SEE."
       Perhaps it's not just in photography that we've put too much emphasis on the role of tools.How many of you are reluctant to start a new sport or learn new software simply because you don't yet have the "right" outfit(裝備)or computer?
       It's true that "sharpened" tools make the work easier,hut as reporter Abhilash Pavuluri wrote on Firstpost: "In the end,it's really the artist that makes a good painting,not the paintbrush."

    (1)What do we know about Chu Weimin?

    A.He is better at photographing people than scenery.
    B.His award-winning picture is set in a peaceful village.
    C.His shooting style stands out from other photographers.
    D.He is the first Chinese person to win the National Geographic Photo Contest.
    (2)What's the main purpose of Paragraph 3?

    A.To explain why Chu's picture stands out.
    B.To introduce Chu's love for Upernavik.
    C.To recommend a good place for taking photos.
    D.To describe Chu's inspiration for the winning picture.
    (3)What makes a good photographer,according to Haas?

    A.The ability to find beauty.
    B.Enthusiasm for photography.
    C.Having rich parents.
    D.Owning the best camera equipment.
    (4)The underlined word "reluctant" in paragraph 5 has the closest meaning to
    .
    A.glad
    B.unwilling
    C.confident
    D.supposed
