22、A boy won people’s hearts after he came up with a heartwarming use for his birthday money: launching a food bank service from his garden shed (棚屋). Isaac Winfield, who was born with a rare chromosome (染色体) disorder, started the initiative in 2020 after learning that his new school didn’t accept food donations.

The boy’s mother, Claire, said, “We’d always donated to food banks and during the pandemic he would take food parcels into school which would be given to people in need. When Isaac moved from a mainstream school to a specialist school, he was left confused as to what he was going to do with his food parcels.”

“Being determined, Isaac said, ‘It’s alright; I’ll give them food at my house.’” the 42-year-old continued. “So I doubled the money I gave him normally for food parcels and he went off to Aldi. With a little bit of help, he put all the food he bought in a little greenhouse with some lights and started offering it from there. Someone spotted it and put it on one of those Facebook community sites, and then people came with donations. The greenhouse lasted four weeks before he had to get a shed because we ran out of room.”

“In 2021, we were funded a bigger shed. Isaac ran his little shed and his big shed on the big driveway,” she added. Today, well-wishers can donate food or ask for supplies by contacting Isaac via his Friend’s of Isaac Food Bank Facebook page. The boy fills bags of groceries that have been donated and hands them out to the needy around his hometown. Those in need can also directly visit his food bank sheds and help themselves to whatever they require.

This year, Isaac asked his family and friends to make food bank donations instead of buying him gifts for his 11th birthday. “Isaac has always been kind-hearted,” said Claire. “I think he has been doing something great by helping others. He can’t read or write but he can fundraise.”

【1】What directly made Isaac Winfield launch his food bank service?

A．The difficulty of getting enough food parcels.

B．His school’s refusal to accept food donations.

A．A school.

B．A shed.

C．A supermarket.

D．A food bank.

【3】What plays a key role in the expansion of Isaac Winfield’s food bank?

A．The social support.

B．His increasing savings.

C．His school’s encouragement.

D．The growing demand for food.

24、   FLEA MARKETS (跳蚤市场)

For the best selection of flea market product, get there as soon as it opens on the first day of the market. If it’s open Saturday and Sunday all year round, go early on Saturday morning. For seasonal or annual flea markets, go early in the season, preferably the first weekend. You’ll have first pick of the goods the vendors (小贩) gathered during the year.

For the biggest discounts, it’s just the opposite. Shop mid to late afternoon during the final day, or days, of the flea market. The vendors are tired and ready to get home –and they might just cut you some fantastic deals if you ask. You may have to haggle a bit, but you’ll probably go home with some bargains, especially if you’re buying large, heavy pieces the tired sellers don’t want to pack and load.

YARD SALES

Yard sale shopping is a lot like flea market shopping. You’ll find the best selections when the sale first starts. Go early on the first day of the sale. If the sale starts at 7 am, be there a few minutes before – but not so early that you’re labeled an early bird. Don’t wait until Saturday to visit a yard sale that starts on Friday.

Like flea market vendors, yard sale sellers aren’t as willing to haggle early in the morning, but the prices are usually pretty low to start. Don’t wait until the afternoon bargain hours to shop at yard sales.

THRIFT STORES (旧货店)

For the best thrift store selections, ask the employees when the new product arrives. It could be a certain day of the week or a certain time each day. Find out, and then plan your visits for those days and times.

Thrift store prices are usually low, so you might want to snatch things up as soon as you find them. If the prices seem unusually high, ask about their sale structure. Thrift stores don’t always state their sales clearly and sometimes the sales are confusing. Find out when they discount the items that interest you. That’s when you’ll find the best deals.

【1】As for the biggest discounts in the Flea Markets, you’d better______.

A.get there about 6:50 am on Friday

B.go early on Saturday morning

C.ask the host when the new product arrives

D.buy items late afternoon during the last day

【2】The best Thrift Store selections should be taken_______.

A.after the sale starts B.as soon as you find them
