A

(2017·南京九中模拟)

Perhaps every old generation since ancient times has complained about young people，and

today is no ’t it clear that compared with our glorious selves，kids these days are

self-absorbed social network addicts?

However，this summer，my impression of today’s kids has been restored by the story of

Rachel could teach my generation a great deal about maturity and

unselfishness—even though she’s just 9 years old，or was when she died on July 23.

At age 5，Rachel had her long hair shorn off and sent to Locks of Love，which uses hair

donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or

other that，Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it

that’s what she did.

Then when she was 8 years old，her church began raising money to build wells in Africa

through an organization called charity： was astonished when she learned that other

children had no clean water，so she skipped her ninth birthday set up a birthday page

on the charity：water website with a target of d of presents，she asked her friends to

donate 9 each to charity：y Rachel raised only 220—which had left her just a bit

disappointed.

Then，on July 20，a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically members and

friends，seeking some way of showing support，began donating on Rachel’s birthday

page—/Rachel—and donations reached her 300 goal，and kept rising.

But Rachel couldn’t hear that she had raised beyond the 47,544 that the singer Justin

Bieber had raised for charity：water on his 17th birthday.“I think Rachel would have been

overjoyed for she secretly had a crush on(迷恋……) him，” Rachel’s mom said.

When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness，the family decided to

remove the life support parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love，

and her organs to other children.

Word about Rachel’s last fund-raising butions poured in，often in 9

total donations soon topped 100,000，then 300,000.

This is a story not just of one girl，but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers

working creatively.
