穿别人的鞋走路
Sia Godika was 13 when she saw the
barefoot(赤脚的)children of building workers
at a building site near her house in a rich
neighbourhood.“Their feet were bare,”says
Sia,now 17."They were just walking around
that building site like it was an everyday
practice for them.”1.
"I went back home,looked at my own feet
and thought,'Wow,I'm 13 years old.These
children are seven or eight.'"She opened her
closet 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 all 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 as a dinner conversation
with her parents and it quickly grew.After she
posted the idea online,many people showed
their wishes to help her.For months,Sia was
busy with schoolwork and her new project."I
was up till 2 a.m.reading e-mails to see how
we could raise money or get shoes.

“That need is endless,”says
Sia.About 300 million people in the world can't
pay for shoes.Of the nearly 24 billion shoes
made every year,more than 90 percent end up
in landfills(垃圾场).
In its first volunteer drive,Sole Warriors
collected and gave out about 700 pairs of shoes.
4.
They include the United States
and Liberia.
"Being a 13-year-old child,I did face a lot
of problems because at my age,people were
less willing(愿意)to hear me out,”says Sia.In
2021 Sia was given a famous award.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,

大脚兽
In 1967,a man called Glen Thomas said he
saw three Bigfeet(大脚兽)in Oregon State.
Glen was a loggerthis means that his job was
to cut down trees-and he was often in the
forest.Glen watched the three creatures
)The largest one was moving some huge,
heavy rocks.Glen didn't know why it was
doing this-and then,suddenly,he under-
stood.The creature was hungry,and it was
looking for marmots(土拨鼠).At last,.the
Bigfoot found the marmots.Glen watched the
Bigfoot eat the marmots one by one.
When he got back home,he told his story,
and some experts came with him to have a
look."Something or someone has moved these
rocks recently,”they said,“and marmots did
live here.So perhaps Glen Thomas really
▲what do you think?
More and more people have seen Bigfeet-
or their footprints(脚印).AInl995,for
example,a forest patrol(巡逻)officer in
Washington State,the US,said that he came
very close to a Bigfoot.B The officer
worked in the forest every day and he knew all
about the animals living there.One day,he was
going through the forest when he heard a
strange noise.C He looked round and got a
big surprise.D And the problem was,it
was looking straight at him!
The patrol officer couldn't believe his eyes!
He picked up his camera and took some good
pictures.But are these pictures real,or are
42
they fakes(假货)?Experts have studied the
pictures,but they still do not know the answer
to this question.
Because we do not have a Bigfoot-or the
body of a Bigfoot-we do not know if the stories
are true.Many people think that there must be
Bigfeet.There are many stories from many
different people.We also have tape recordings
of the noises that they made and they made
many different kinds of animal noises!People
have seen thousands of footprints in the wet
ground,in the sand and in the snow.All of
these things can't be fakes!
So what can we do now?"Catch a Bigfoot,
or kill one to study!”say some people.“Don't
touch them-they are happy living far away
from people!"say others.
