七、阅读短文,选择正确的答案。
One morning, a young man was wandering along the beach when he saw a boy far away picking up something and gently throwing it into the sea. He quickly walked towards him and surprisedly found that the boy was picking up the starfish (海星) which were washed ashore by the tide and throwing them back into the sea.
“Excuse me, why are you throwing the starfish back into the sea?” he asked.
The boy replied, “Sir, you see the sun will soon rise (升起) and the tide will flow away.”
“But don’t you think it is a waste of your time as there are miles and miles of beaches and numerous starfish still lying along them? Surely you can’t keep this act all day long. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The child ignored the young man’s remark. Then he picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea. He said, “It makes a difference to that one. Would you like to join me? It would make a difference.”
There is something very special (特别的) in each and every one of us. We have all been given the ability to make a difference to the future. We must find our own starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

一天早晨，一个年轻人正在海滩上漫步，这时他看到远处有个男孩捡起什么东西，轻轻地把它扔进海里。他快步走向男孩，惊讶地发现男孩正在捡起被潮水冲到岸上的海星，然后把它们扔回海里。
“请问，你为什么要把海星扔回海里呢？”他问道。
男孩回答说：“先生，您看太阳很快就会升起，潮水也会退去。”
“但是你不觉得这是在浪费你的时间吗？因为海滩绵延数英里，还有无数的海星躺在上面呢。你肯定不能一整天都这样做。你这样做不可能有什么作用的！”
