Believing overweight among school children is the result of bake sales, the Education Department of New York declared that bake sales will be banned all through the states, as a part of their new ―wellness‖policy.
The ban gives a harder time to schools tying to earn money，because of budget difficulties. Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.―l think it‘s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.‖Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. ―I feel that it is the student‘s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．‖Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.―I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.‖
New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don‘t think so.―Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.‖Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools． 21．The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______． A. help schools out of budget difficulties B. reduce child overweight caused by bake food

Greg Woodburn，a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers once belonging to others. Soon the shoes will have new owners: under privileged children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn‘s Share Our Soles( SOS) charity.
A high school track star in the beach town of Ventura, Woodburn was once sidelined for months with foot injuries.
―I started thinking about all the things I got from running---the health benefits, the friendships，the confidence,‖he says.―And I realized there are children who don‘t even have shoes.‖ Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers，then put out a call to teammates．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006．When the count climbed to more than 500 pairs, (―everything snowballed,‖he says) he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.
Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools and area races. To date, SOS has collected and donated more than 3000 pairs.
In just under three years，Woodburn has started three chapters of Share Our Soles：the original in Ventura, another at USC ,and one at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts last January，when a student there wrote asking to get involved．The organization‘s website,
