Girls who lack confidence in school have a new champion. She is only 10 years old. Alice Tapper, a fifth - grader says, that her goal is to encourage girls of all ages to “be more confident in raising their hands”. Alice cared so much about the issue (问题) that she helped create a Girl Scout badge (徽章).
The pink badge—Alice chose her favorite color—shows three hands reaching for the sky. It says, “Be brave. Raise your hand.”
Alice’s idea came during a fourth - grade field trip to Jamestown, Virginia. She found that boys raised their hands to answer questions even though they weren’t sure of the answers. The girls just listened quietly.
“Girls are afraid to raise their hands because they get shy. They have to be 90 percent sure, while boys just raise their hands and say, ‘I know it,’” Alice said during a recent interview. She added that girls should have confidence, step up, and become leaders by raising their hands for women are equal to men.
Alice’s “Raise Your Hand” badge has become wildly popular, and not just in the United States. “People in Japan and China want to use the badge,” she said. “We sold out the badge quickly, but we’re making more.”
Alice wants to be a teacher when she grows up. But first, she wants to see a revolution in confidence for girls of all ages. She knows that won’t happen overnight. “ It takes time,” Alice said, “but I can speed up the process.”
1.Why does Alice advise other girls to raise their hands?
A. To get high scores. B. To become champions.
C. To show their confidence. D. To question what teachers say.
2.What made Alice create the Girl Scout badge?
A. Boy classmates’ encouragement. B. An experience to Jamestown.
C. Other girls requirements. D. Her teachers’ support.
3.What is Alice s attitude to the revolution in confidence for girls?
A. Unclear B. Unsure
C. Disappointed D. Positive
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A. A Girl Scout badge B. Girl’s rights
C. Confidence is the key to success D. Success can’t be achieved overnight

Miss Gorgers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them, “Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?”
Tom at once answered, “Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.” “That’s very good.” Miss Gorgers answered, but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gorgers said, “Yes? Kate.”
