七、阅读短文,选择正确的答案。
One morning, a young man was wandering along the beach when he saw a boy far away picking up something and gently throwing it into the sea. He quickly walked towards him and surprisedly found that the boy was picking up the starfish (海星) which were washed ashore by the tide and throwing them back into the sea.
“Excuse me, why are you throwing the starfish back into the sea?” he asked.
The boy replied, “Sir, you see the sun will soon rise (升起) and the tide will flow away.”
“But don’t you think it is a waste of your time as there are miles and miles of beaches and numerous starfish still lying along them? Surely you can’t keep this act all day long. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The child ignored the young man’s remark. Then he picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea. He said, “It makes a difference to that one. Would you like to join me? It would make a difference.”
There is something very special (特别的) in each and every one of us. We have all been given the ability to make a difference to the future. We must find our own starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.
