Thanks to Ron Reeleder, there are Canadian hockey jerseys ( 曲 棍 球 球 衣 ) in many places
around the world. The Canadian cook has been collecting hockey jerseys that have otherwise been collecting dust in Canadians' basements.He takes them on his travels around the world, handing them out to kids and teaching them the beloved Canadian street hockey.
His handing out second-hand hockey jerseys started in 2010 while on a trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for people with serious diseases. After climbing, his group went to visit a local school. He found many Canadians were handing out small items, including soccer jerseys. “Why are they handing out soccer jerseys ？ ” Reeleder asked himself. “We are from Canada. We should hand out hockey jerseys.” Later, Reeleder founded Hockey Jerseys for Hope to continue his mission.
On his another trip to Mt. Everest Base Camp， Reeleder brought a few hockey jerseys to hand out. Since that trip, the project has turned into something huge, and so far Reeleder has given out about 13， 000 used jerseys and hockey equipment around the world.
“As Canadians, we have millions of these things just taking up space in our basements. No one knows what to do with them，” he said, adding that jerseys are a perfect hand-me-down because they are durable ( 耐用的) and breathable, not to mention colorful—something all kids love. “The kids just light up when they get a jersey.It's the best feeling， ” said Reeleder.
Next week, he will travel to India, and will bring ten bags of jerseys and equipment， as well as other clothing items. Reeleder wants to visit the first-ever India women's ice hockey team, and maybe he'll start a game of ball hockey outside the Taj Mahal.

Every year， millions of people visit the world's ancient monuments (历史遗迹), such as the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt (built around 2500 BCE), and Britain's 4，500-year-old stone circle at Stonehenge. As the years pass, stones often start to break into pieces and things fall apart. The Great Sphinx has lost its nose. Various stones are missing or have fallen over at Stonehenge. The Colosseum in Rome has no floor covering its underground rooms. The director of the Colosseum, Alfonsina Russo, said that building a new floor “will give us back the same view from the stage of the monument that it had in ancient times”． However, some historians said it would be “a shame” to alter (改变) the historic building. So what do you think Should ancient monuments be altered
What is the point of an ancient monument if it's not attracting visitors？ Visitors want to know what it was like to be there when the place was being used. Alterations allow visitors to do this. The new floor in the Colosseum will move, so people can stand where the gladiators (斗士) stood and still see what lies under it. Altering monuments creates jobs for skilled workers. It also increases tourism and develops the local economy. English Heritage, an organization that looks after more than 400 historic sites in England, says, “Careful management is needed if we are to pass them on to future generations in good condition.” Careful management requires alterations.
However, some think people should let time and nature work their magic.Leaving monuments as they are and letting time and nature do their work often results in the best alterations. The Jungle Temple of Ta Prohm in Cambodia is an untouched ancient monument where trees grow through the building.As well as being beautiful, it is mysterious (神秘的)．In Egypt，there are many stories about the Sphinx's missing nose. No one knows the truth but people can wonder at the mystery.Art
historian Tomaso Montanari called the Colosseum's new floor “a false arena (假的斗兽场)”．He said, “The idea that the monument as it is not enough is all very silly.”
5． What situation are ancient monuments facing
A． They are slowly damaged.
B． They are losing their popularity.
C． They are rebuilt without scientific support.
D． They are not protected because of money problems.
6． What might Alfonsina Russo's attitude be to building the new floor
A． Unclear. B． Doubtful.
C． Supportive. D． Uninterested.
7． What does the underlined part “do this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A． Experience what the monument was like long ago.
B． Get pleasure from visiting the monument. C． Learn how the monument was built.
D． Protect the monument.
8． What did Tomaso Montanari think of the Colosseum's new floor
A． It would increase tourism.
B． It would be an unnecessary change.
C． It would give skilled workers job chances.
D． It would fail to show the Colosseum's popularity.
