Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends much time cleaning sneakers. Some once belonged tohim; some were his friends. But soon they will have new owners; underprivilegedchildren in the US and 20 other countries, thanks toWoodburn's Share Our Shoes (S. 0. S.) charity.
He was once a football star in high school. " I started thinkingabout all the things I got from running—the health benefits, thefriendships, the confidence, " he says. “And I realized there arechildren who don't even have shoes.”
Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers, thenput out a call to teammates and the town. His goal was to have 100pairs by Christmas 2007. Surprisingly the count climbed to 500pairs. Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the localsporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn hasnow set up collection boxes at two high schools. To date, S. 0. S. hascollected and donated over 3，000 pairs.
Woodburn has cleaned almost all of them. “People think of itas dirty work, “He says.”But I like doing it. As I work, I imaginewho will get each pair. “It takes three to five minutes to clean onepair, and he'll do up to 100 pairs at a time.
To ship the footwear, Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, anonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipmentto children around the world, whose founder and president saidGreg's running shoes were a nice addition. For many recipients, theshoes represent opportunity. Two boys in Southern California attended school on alternate(间隔的）days because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small the other. Thanksto S. 0. S. ，each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boysnow attend school daily. When they graduate, they say, they willhelp a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.

More than three billion people are at risk from indoor air pollution because of the heating or cooking fuels they use. Most live inAfrica, India and China. They use wood, crop waste, animal waste orcoal. These solid fuels may be the least costly fuels available. Butthey are also a major cause of health problems and death.
The Aprovecho Research Center has been designing cookingstoves for the developing world. People having less money use woodor biomass for cooking; the richer people use oil and gas. It's estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas.
The group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, clay, ceramics and old oil drums. Most of the stoves look like large, deep cooking pots. They have an opening at the bottom for the fireand a place on top to put a pot.
In the late 1970s, Aprovecho produced a popular stove calledthe Lorena. The Lorena was good at reducing smoke and warminghomes. But new tests years later found that it was not efficient. Theused twice as much wood as an open fire, and took muchlonger to heat food. Since then, they have experimented with count-less other designs.
Their goal is to make an inexpensive stove—let's say fivedollars— that makes little smoke, and it's safe for health and reducesglobal warming and deforestation(采伐森林).
Aprovecho has now partnered with a stove manufacturer inChina. The company is making Aprovecho's first mass producedstoves. They are said to use 40% - 50% less wood than an openfire, and produce 50% -70% less smoke. A company called Stove-Tec is selling them through its Web site for less than ten dollars. Dean Still says that more than one hundred thousand have been soldso far.
The underlined word " biomass " ，in Paragraph 2 refers to __________

Chile is a country of southwest South America with a longPacific coastline. Santiago is the capital and the largest city. Thepopulation of the country is about 11，329，736.
A long time ago, Chile belonged to Spain, a European country, because it was colonized by Spain in 1541，Many of Chileans, how-ever, did not want to be ruled by Spain.
Led by Bernardo O'Higgins, some of them formed a smallarmy. They attacked the Spanish soldiers at different times and different places.
This made the King of Spain very angry. He sent more soldiersto Chile to deal with them.
Although there were far more Spanish soldiers than freedomfighters, they refused to surrender and fought bravely.
At last, however, in 1814，they were forced to retreat to thetown of Rancagua near Santiago. There, O'Higgins and his men weresurrounded by the Spanish army and O'Higgins was wounded by anenemy bullet.
It seemed as if their fight for freedom were over. But O'Higginsrefused to surrender. Even though he was wounded, he ordered hismen to collect as many mules, cows, sheep and dogs as possible. Shouting at the top of his voice, he rode into the animals. Frightened, they began to run. They ran straight at the Spanishsoldiers. Now it was the Spaniards' turn to be frightened. Theyturned and run away from the animals as fast as they could, allowingO'Higgins and his men to escape to the mountains.
There he built up his army, and in 1818 he defeated the Spanish and the country declared its independence. He then became thefirst president of the new, free nation in the same year.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago. Sheapplied to job openings she'd found on a couple of big online jobboards. She mailed the applications and waited. And waited. Aftersending out 100 resumes (履历表），specially addressed to eachorganization's human resources ( HR ) manager, fewer than five HRdepartments took the time to reply, or acknowledged receipt.
What happened?
Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resumereceived, each HR person made a snap decision. It seemed that 95of them were unimpressed.
Or, maybe, out of the 300 other resumes HR had received thatmorning, they had already scheduled a requisite (必要的）numberof interviews. Or, maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to thehiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.
Or, maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic (—般的)and they didn't have time to figure out if she might be a goodfit, with the necessary skills, the attitude, and the desire to dothe job.
Most likely, the real reason why she didn't get an interview wasthe last one. HR didn't have time to figure out how she would workin their company.
This happens all the time. I think most job seekers make theserious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HRdepartment what they did in the past.
That might be OK for some hiring managers, but most want toknow the answer to one question ： How can this applicant help usright now? If your resume does not answer that question, or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help, you won'thave a shot at the job in this market.
Before you can answer that question, however, you need to dosome research on the company. Find out everything you can aboutthe company, including the departments, the people, the products, markets, and the plans for the future.
Information is power, and it is available quite easily. Don't expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization. You __________ instead. This is the surest way to get the interview.
What's the main idea of this passage? (within 20 words)
