     It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (鬧鐘)rings in my ears.I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom.I turn on the light and put on my glasses.The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully.Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my 
favorite exercise DVD, Insanity.Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes.My heart races as I force
my body to finish each movement.As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired,but a smile is on my face.It's not a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its
extreme limit.
     Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate.But I need exercise to get
through each day.Some shake heads when they see me run through the town.Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake.They raise their eyebrows,surprised by my "no
thank you," or by my choice to have a salad.Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say "no." I
shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
     So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5∶00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice
cream? Commitment.A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases
selfconfidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a
smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit
just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
1. Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?                  
A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.                          
B. Because she finishes her favorite exercise.                                
C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.                                    
D. Because she feels a sense of achievement.                                  
2. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

B. She likes to make others surprised.                                        
C. Others don't understand what she does.                                    
D. Others try to help her by offering her food.

It was a very hot summer Sunday. Most of the neighbors were indoors with air-conditioners and color TVs going on. Suddenly, there was a power failure. After about half an hour, most houses had lost their pleasing coolness and people began to come outdoors in search for a gentle breeze. Before long, everyone was sharing all kinds of soft drinks and iced tea or coffee. Food began to appear, someone brought some small tables, and a natural block party developed.

It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club. It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand ever your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want. That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs.
Fundraising(自籌資金) is a great way to help children learn social skills. It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask them for their money. They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school. If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride(從容處理), and that is a learning lesson as well.
Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising. Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned in to the school. However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson. Dealing with money is important to know about when they are older.
Fundraising helps improve their schools. It is the child’s school. They have to learn there and grow there. Why not let them help in making it a better place? When one of our local schools lacked funding for sports, the students and parents joined hands to raise that money needed. When they succeeded, they felt they accomplished something important.
Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child. Most fundraising is done for individual classes and clubs. The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips. The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money. Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed.
In a word, fundraising helps children a lot in many ways.
