3 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

10-year-old Aiden went to the first door and knocked on it. An older woman answered the door.

“Good morning!” Aiden said. “My name is Aiden. My mom is sick, and I want to get food for her. Can I get some money, please?” But the woman suspected and refused. Aiden didn’t lose heart and knocked on the second door. “Can I please ask for some money, ma’am? My mom is very sick!” he begged sadly. The woman who answered the door gave him a concerned look. “Oh! Should I call the CPS (儿童保护署) or an ambulance? Do you want me to come with you?”

“Ugh, well,” Aiden hesitated. “It’s alright. I just remembered I had to go somewhere,” he ran away. That whole day, Aiden went from door to door asking for money, but sadly, he got none.

A couple of days later, Aiden returned to the neighborhood and saw a new couple had moved into what used to be an empty house. He decided to try his luck and knocked on the door, and a young woman answered.

Aiden told her his name and repeated what he said to the other residents. The woman smiled, “I’m Lauren. Just wait here. I’ll get you some money and food, okay?” Aiden nodded as Lauren went inside. She returned with two huge bags of groceries and a $100 bill. “I hope these can help your mother,” she said.

“Thank you!” he exclaimed happily as he carried the two bags over his shoulder and ran away.

Waving him goodbye, Lauren realized that Aiden was hiding something. She decided to drive after him secretly to find out more about his story. Soon, they came to an area without houses, and then Aiden disappeared under a bridge. Lauren pulled over and walked to the bridge. She spotted him and froze. Aiden was living with a little girl in a tent under the bridge. She heard Aiden saying to the girl, “Beth, we have food now. You won’t go hungry.”

10 . We’ve seen them onstage and on screen. We have enjoyed their comedy, drama and documentaries. The books they write or illustrate have given many a pleasurable hour. However, Britain’s best-known actors, authors and other public figures are now being seen in a very different light. In fact, a project has turned them into doodlers.

Sharon saw a report about a charity that were getting celebrities to do doodles and then sell off their artistic creations. She had the idea of adapting that to bookmarks in 2017. Sharon reveals. “We were sitting around a table deciding which authors we might write to. “We enclosed a piece of card, a stamped addressed envelope and a polite request for them to do a doodle on it and send it back.”

“In that first year we got about sixty from authors, illustrators, theatre performers and other celebrities,” she adds. “We auctioned (拍卖) those for £960. Along with other funds, we were able to buy a reading scheme (计划) to help the children learn English.” Fired up by their success, Sharon and her colleagues threw themselves into it in following years.

The project has grown greatly and is now an annual exercise. As well as the letterwriting, Sharon increasingly makes approaches via Twitter, Instagram and agents. The bookmarks have grown to over 500. One illustrator sent back 13 this year. All are auctioned online, and Sharon and the girls have managed to appeal to some major names. Jo Brand has become a huge supporter, drawing bookmarks for the project every year and sending a lovely note, too. Others who have doubted their artistic talents have sent signed books and other items. The amounts raised each year have rocketed from just under £1,000 at the beginning, to £54,000 at present.

Sharon loves getting involved with the letterwriting, as well as hearing of the difference they are making in Zimbabwe. “The response we’ve had from everyone out there is amazing. “You can see the difference the money makes. “The kids are sitting at proper desks that didn’t have holes in them. “The lives of the kids and the teachers have been improved so much. “It’s just lovely that we can see what our efforts are doing,” she finishes.
