[2024·合肥高三第二次质量检测]A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter's bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded — along with Mickelson's bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage，” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”， the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. He's never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn't financial，” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids' faces, knowing that I
can make a difference.”
体裁：记叙文 题材：个人经历 主题：Mickelson和他的公益组织
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Mickelson为了让自己社区的无床可睡的孩子们能够有床睡觉，成立了一个公益组织“Sleep in Heavenly Peace”。
【难句分析】 Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
分析：这是一个复合句。句中含有how引导的宾语从句，作discover的宾语；“that builds and delivers beds to children in need”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“a nonprofit”，that在从句中充当主语。
译文：Mickelson震惊地发现，这种需求在他的社区如此普遍，于是他创建了Sleep in Heavenly Peace，一个为有需要的儿童建造并运送床的非盈利组织。
4．Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace? A．To help the poor children. B．To make a big fortune. C．To inspire his community. D．To get more donations.
答案与解析：A 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need”可知，Mickelson创建这个非盈利组织是为了帮助贫困儿童，故选A项。
5．What do we know about Luke Mickelson? A．He had his own fish farm.
B．He changed his career from time to time.
C．He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid.
D．He originally had a relaxing and pleasant life.
答案与解析：D 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course”可推知，Mickelson一开始过着轻松、舒适的生活，故选D项。
6．How did other people react to Mickelson's project? A．They showed little interest in it.
B．They were supportive and involved in it.
C．They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed. D．They volunteered to buy beds with their own money. 答案与解析：B 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded”可知，Mickelson的朋友和其他家庭成员都来帮忙，随着消息的传播，更多人参与进来。由此可知，人们对Mickelson创建的这个组织非常支持，并且积极参与，故选B项。
7．What is Mickelson's attitude to the nonprofit? A．Ambiguous. B．Defensive. C．Cautious. D．Positive.
答案与解析：D 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The need I have... make a difference”可知，Mickelson想要看到孩子们脸上的喜悦的事情，他知道他在做一些有影响的事，由此可推知，他对这个组织持积极的态度，故选D项。
