Question

A strong storm hit the town of Carlton. Some people had cuts and bruises (青腫)，but no one was badly hurt. The storm destroyed many buildings and bridges. So some people become homeless.

The people of Carlton helped one another put their town back together. One of those people was Leah Torres. Leah had an idea to collect food, clothing and other items, such as soap, dishes and towels, for people in need. Leah felt happy that she could help.

Leah was proud of her town. She decided to write a letter to the president of the United States. In the letter she told him about her town’s efforts (努力). She said that the nation might be able to solve its problems if people followed Carlton’s example, Leah didn’t tell anyone about her letter. Half a month later, when Leah and her parents turned on the television one day, the president was giving a speech. He began to read from a letter. Suddenly Leah recognized (認(rèn)出) the sentences.

“That’s my letter!” she told her parents .

The next day Leah got a call from the White House. An assistant to the president was on the phone. “The president wants me to thank you for your letter,” he said. “He agrees with you that people should work together. He says that one person can make a difference in a town. And sometimes he can make a difference in a whole country. ” (選自課外必讀書目《快樂英語閱讀》，初二年級 第2卷，略有改動)
