单元话题阅读理解练习
（22-23八年级下·江苏南京·期中）Orion Jean is a 10-year-old boy from Fort Worth, Texas. He is making a difference in the world with his acts of kindness. And these acts may change the lives of people he has helped.
It all began after a student kindness competition last year where he gave encouraging words to share about taking the first step. “Kindness is a virtue (美德) we can all have, if we are willing to,” he said. “So why not start today Because right now, it’s what we need more than ever.”
With the $500 prize money he won, Orion donated toys to a local children’s hospital. Next, he helped prepare 100,000 meals for families in Texas. And now he wants to give books to kids who may not have them and plans to gather 500,000 books in a “race to kindness”.
Kherri Jean, Orion’s mother, wrote on her Facebook page on March 31 that Orion has already collected over 120,000 books. “Today was one of my favorite days!” she said. “We had a ‘Race to Kindness’ free book fair for children and their parents. It was so great to see kids looking for books they like and taking them home!”
And even if he hasn’t met the goal of 500,000 books, Orion has done far more than putting books into the hands of poor children. “It’s all about my moral responsibility to help people,” Orion said. “You know, it’s my responsibility to be able to see these people who need help know that I can help them.”

（22-23八年级上·江苏泰州·期末）A man in Pakistan（巴基斯坦） is now working to help children get an education（教育）. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.
It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria（尼日利亚） has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.
Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.
Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, “Why don’t you go to school ” The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.
Ayub was also an orphan（孤儿） and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.

Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy’s school fees. _______.
Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.
Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since（自从） he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.

One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. “He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school,” Abbas said.

（22-23八年级下·江苏南京·期中）Orion Jean is a 10-year-old boy from Fort Worth, Texas. He is making a difference in the world with his acts of kindness. And these acts may change the lives of people he has helped.
It all began after a student kindness competition last year where he gave encouraging words to share about taking the first step. “Kindness is a virtue (美德) we can all have, if we are willing to,” he said. “So why not start today Because right now, it’s what we need more than ever.”
With the $500 prize money he won, Orion donated toys to a local children’s hospital. Next, he helped prepare 100,000 meals for families in Texas. And now he wants to give books to kids who may not have them and plans to gather 500,000 books in a “race to kindness”.
Kherri Jean, Orion’s mother, wrote on her Facebook page on March 31 that Orion has already collected over 120,000 books. “Today was one of my favorite days!” she said. “We had a ‘Race to Kindness’ free book fair for children and their parents. It was so great to see kids looking for books they like and taking them home!”
And even if he hasn’t met the goal of 500,000 books, Orion has done far more than putting books into the hands of poor children. “It’s all about my moral responsibility to help people,” Orion said. “You know, it’s my responsibility to be able to see these people who need help know that I can help them.”

（22-23八年级上·江苏泰州·期末）A man in Pakistan（巴基斯坦） is now working to help children get an education（教育）. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.
It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria（尼日利亚） has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.
Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.
Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, “Why don’t you go to school ” The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.
Ayub was also an orphan（孤儿） and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, “When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral（葬礼） said they were sorry, but no one helped.” He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.
Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy’s school fees. _______.
Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.
Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since（自从） he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.
Ayub said, “I used to argue with kids who worked ‘Why are you washing someone’s dishes or their clothes Why don’t you study ’”
One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. “He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school,” Abbas said.
Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.
