These children are seven or eight.’” She opened her closet(壁橱) doors and saw shoes. She wore many of them only a few times. They looked very new. She put them into a big box. Then she hurried to give them al away to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia set up Sole Warriors, a charity group, to provide shoes for those in need. Sia􀆳s dream is: “2. ” The idea started in a dinner conversation with her parents and it quickly grew. After she posted the idea online, many people showed their wishes to help her.

That need, says Sia, is endless. In a world where the poorest half of the population owns just two per cent of the wealth, about 300 milion people can􀆳t pay for shoes. Of the nearly 24 bilion shoes made every year, more than 90 per cent end up in landfils(垃圾场). In its first volunteer drive, Sole Warriors colected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. 4. They include the United States, China and Liberia, thanks to the hard work of a key team of about 80 volunteers. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of problems because at my age, people were less wiling to hear me out,” says Sia. In 2021, Sia was given a famous award(奖). The award is one of the most important honours a young person can receive for social action or volunteer work. But her work isn􀆳t done. She says, “5. ” (素材来源: Reader􀆳s Digest) 根据短文内容,从方框中选出适当的选项补 全短文,有两项是多余的。 A. Give a pair of shoes; save a mind. B. At that moment, Sia felt sorry for the children. C. Our dream has always been to touch a milion feet. D. Sia was happy that she could live a very happy life. E. In the future, more buildings wil be built in the country. F. Today that number stands at around 28,000 across four countries. G.
