What can a 4-year-old do to end hunger? Start a hunger-relief organization. When most kids were just entering preschool, Joshua Williams discovered that people right in his neighborhood went without food. This surprised the young Miami resident, so with the support of his family, Williams founded Joshua’s Heart Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to the fight against global hunger through the community service of young people.
Now a high school senior, Williams is a hero for the one-in-six Americans who face hunger. Joshua’s Heart Foundation includes more than 12,500 teens and 4,000 adults among the volunteers Williams inspires. In addition to providing items of basic necessity to those in need, Williams’ foundation also educates communities about ways to fight hunger. To date, Joshua’s Heart Foundation has distributed more than 1,600,000 pounds of food and assisted over 400,000 individuals, along with teaching some food recipients how to prepare healthy meals.
In addition to being an advocate for the needy, Williams is a popular speaker. He travels internationally to create awareness about hunger. These leadership opportunities have allowed Williams to partner with well- known brands, including Disney, Walgreens and Unilever.
In 2013, he appeared in The Way Kids See It, a documentary short film by Unilever that captures ideas and inspiration for creating a brighter future from children all over the world. A year later, he participated in two service programs: a year-long campaign with Milk Life about donating milk to food banks, and Disney’s Make Your Mark campaign featuring kids making a difference.
Williams keeps a balance between high school life and his passion for helping others. He continues to seek ways to inspire young people to make a difference to others’ lives. After high school graduation, he hopes to study business and computer science at Stanford and continue to run Joshua’s Heart Foundation. 24. What inspired Joshua to found Joshua’s Heart Foundation? A. Some teens’ community service. C. Global fight against hunger.
B. Some neighbors’ lack of food. D. His family’s support.

What’s that one thing you really should do, but keep putting off? We all have time-consuming or difficult chores we’re afraid of, and drag out until the last minute —if we complete them at all.
But what if we could drive ourselves into those boring tasks by pairing them with something we really enjoy? Research suggests that combining the things we want to do with the things we should do could be a nice trick to reaching our goals. The method is known as “temptation bundling (捆绑)” and it allows you to combine two different, but complementary (补充的) activities at the same time.
“I only let myself get a footbath when I’m doing some work,” says Katherine Milkman, a professor of behavioral economics at the University of Pennsylvania. Another example? Go to your favorite restaurant with a difficult colleague or someone you’re supposed to spend time with, such as a relative.
In short, it’s pairing a thing you like with something you don’t like that offers you motivation to do something you might be putting off.
Exercise is one activity routinely being treated as a chore —so Milkman used it in an experiment to know how temptation bundling works in reality.
In her experiment, Milkman encouraged students to exercise while listening to addictive, page-turning audiobooks. One group, which could only access the audiobooks while at the gym, were 51% more likely to exercise than the control group, which were able to listen when they liked. Another group, whose access to the audiobooks was not restricted but who were merely encouraged to bundle the activities, were 29% more likely to exercise than the control group.
The benefit of temptation bundling comes from doing two things that go well together at one time, says Milkman. “The secret is to bundle tasks that require different effort. For example, if one task requires focus or concentration, you want the other not to be too distracting —reading while listening to a podcast is very difficult, for example, while cooking and listening is more realistic,” Milkman adds. 28. What do we know about temptation bundling? A. To do two things you like at the same time. B. To do two things you hate at the same time.
C. To do something you like and then do something you hate. D. To do something you hate while doing something you like.
