四、任务型阅读。根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。
Ben， a 12-year-old boy in America， sets up Helping Dreams， a special school club. After reading the news about a company（公司） that helps children who feel bored or lonely（孤单的）， he shows great interest in helping others. He thinks， "I want to do the same thing as that too. Let me see how I can help them."
Ben gets an idea very fast. He wants to start his own club. Running（运作） a club needs money. First， he picks up the useless things like bottles and bags. Then， he uses them to make new things. And he sells（卖） these new things. Last， he puts the money in the club activities and welcomes the kids who feel lonely to join the club. His club helps kids make friends with others.
But Ben has a problem now. "At first， I feel very happy and relaxed because I can help others with the money I make. But now there are more than 50 students in my club. It is very hard for me to make so much money. I need more people to work with me and make money." Ben says.
Many people join him. And now many schools have the same clubs. Ben feels amazed because his club is so popular（受欢迎的） and says， "It's important to talk with someone when you feel unhappy at school. You should try to have fun with friends， and Helping Dreams surely helps with that!"
