When Vivienne Harr was 8 years old, she saw a photo she would never forget.It was a photo of two young boys carrying large, heavy rocks on their backs.These children were the same age as Vivienne.But they did not have the same freedom and opportunities(自由和机会)that she had.

In some parts of the world, children have to work hard long days and they can't go to school. Vivienne wanted to change this.“ I want all kids to be able to go to school and play, ”　 said Vivienne. “I want them to be happy.”

To help raise money for children like the two boys in the photo, Vivienne started a lemonade stand(柠檬汽水摊位)near her home in Marin County, California. She promised to work every day for a year, rain or shine. “Sometimes, it was hard for me, when the weather was bad or I wasn't feeling well,” said Vivienne. “But I knew that some children were having a harder time than I was.”

Vivienne's goal(目标)was to raise $100, 000 in 365 days. On Day 175, she reached her goal. But that didn't stop Vivienne from working. With the help of her family, she started Make a Stand. The company now puts Vivienne's lemonade into bottles and sells it in 130 stores around the US.A small part of sales goes to help achieve Vivienne's dream—to make the world a better place for all children.

Nine-year-old Regina, from Scotland, has always loved taking photos. When she was just three, she picked up her father, Kevin’s camera, and asked him how it worked. But rather than just being a curious(好奇的) child or a girl with an inability to leave anything alone, Regina is in fact a professional wedding photographer.

“Regina became interested in photography at a very young age, ” her father, and fellow professional photographer, Kevin, tells Daily Mail Australia. “She first started asking questions about how to use my cameras.

Regina has never been on a training course,” He goes to explain that he has never forced his daughter to take photos like her dad does for his job. “I just answer questions when she asks them, and when she wants to do some shooting she can. Over the years she tagged along to quite a lot of shoots, so her skills just grew through experience.”

These skills reached the highest point on April 15 this year, when Regina shot over 400 photos at her first wedding. “She completely love it,” Kevin said. “She is quite a quiet girl, but when she has that camera in her hands she is super-confident, and had no problem dealing with people or setting up shots throughout the day. Regina’s next wedding is on July 1 and several of my other brides have called to ask if she can come along as they love her work. I honestly don’t have words to describe how proud I feel,” he concluded.

“In the past, Regina said a few times that she just wants to keep it as a hobby,” said Kevin. “But over the past few days, upon seeing some of the response her work has got and some of the nice messages she’s received from people all over the world, she has said she might like doing this when she’s older.”

1.From Paragraph 1 we can learn _______.

A.Regina got the first camera from her father at the age of nine.

B.Regina has been a professional photographer since she was three.

C.Regina is interested in cameras and wants to know how to use it.

2.What did Kevin do to help Regina?

A.He answered her questions about photography.

C.He forced her to go to some wedding with him.

D.He asked her to take photos as much as possible.

3.The underlined word “shooting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “ ____ ”.

A.射击 B.拍摄 C.发芽 D.投篮

4.From Kevin’s words, how does Regina feel when she takes a camera?

B.She is quiet and feels a little nervous.
