Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time? You can do all the three with Global Development Association (GDA)。 Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in a poor and remote community (社區(qū))。
We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds。 Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24。 Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75。 They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes。 We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers。
Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures。 You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers。
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness。 You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends。
This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (創(chuàng)業(yè)者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy。 By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them。
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad。 On the outing, she was offered a candy bar。 However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth。 But Moore was sick of missing out on candies。 So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company。 He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain。
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly。 She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning。 Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria。
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground。 Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product — CanCandy。
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur。 Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring。 She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile。
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life。 Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit。 Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles。 She donates 10% of AilieCandy’s profits to Big Smiles。 With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore。
34。 How did Moore react to her dad’s warning?
A。 She argued with him。
B。 She tried to find a way out。
C。 She paid no attention。
D。 She chose to consult dentists。
34。
[答案] B
