Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In an effort to avoid a coming storm,Ronnie,Stewart and Krystal Stewart were running to their car in the parking lot of Refuge Church when they noticed two young homeless boys with their parents on the sidewalk.The Stewarts approached the boys' parents, asking to take them home for a night for a bath and warm bed.They didn't know what their response would be,but as it turned out, they were thrilled.
The Stewarts took the two boys, who were 1 and 2 years old,home,where they slept for over a straight 10 hours.
“I don't think they've ever slept in a bed before,”Krystal said.
The next day,the Stewarts gave the parents their phone numbers and told them to call if they ever wanted the boys to have a warm bed.
It wasn't long before the Stewarts headed to pick the boys up after receiving a call from their parents at midnight.
They brought them back the next morning and a few hours later, they were greeted by the Department of Social Services and police officers, who had been discussing living arrangements for the boys with their parents.
“They asked if we could take them in.Next thing I knew, the boys were on my back seat with my kids on their way home with us.They may not have known at that time,but our three kids were already calling the two young boys their brothers,”Krystal said.
A few days later,the Stewarts sat down with two social workers and the boys' parents.They had many choices to choose from,but felt strongly about wanting the boys to join the Stewarts' family.The agreement has been signed and adoption procedure should be finished before long.

Two weeks ago,a 5yearold girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank(存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting.Her grandmother,Jackie Oelfke,thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins,but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“That aroused my curiosity,”Jackie told CBS News.“Nobody messes with the piggy hank.”After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes longer, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings.
“What are you doing with that money?”Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I'm taking it to school,”Sunshine replied.The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money.“I'm going to take it for milk money.My friend Layla doesn't get milk-her mom doesn't have milk money and I do.”
Jackie's heart melted at Sunshine's words.Choked with strong feelings,Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week,Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher,Rita Hausher,and handed her the $ 30 the kindergartener had saved.There are 20 kids in Sunshine's class and about half don't get milk.It costs $ 0.45 a carton(纸盒).The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school,Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter's plan.To her surprise,dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause.Within a week,Jackie raised more than $1,000.Now every student in Sunshine's class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn't see her kind act as a big deal.She was just trying to look out for her friends.“She doesn't understand the effect she's brought about,”Jackie said.“But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”

It takes so long to organize your room and each closet,but it only takes a few days for you to return to your old bad habits.Learning how to organize something is one thing,but staying organized is a completely different matter.Here is some advice for you to follow through.

____5____ Wanting to stay organized doesn't mean that you have to do everything alone.If you want to clean your household,you should make sure that anyone else sharing the space with you also does their share of tasks; if you want to keep things running smoothly at work,take responsibilities together with your colleagues.
