Question

【题目】 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.
