Ⅲ. 阅读下列短文,根据语篇内容,选出所提问题的最佳选项。
Ten-year-old Orion Jean has always known that kindness is important. He often practiced it by volunteering with his family. Last year, after entering the National Kindness Speech Competition, he became crazy about it. Now he works to spread kindness everywhere through projects that help others. He calls his campaign(活动) the Race to Kindness.
When a teacher told him about the competition, Orion had only 24 hours to write, memorize, and record his speech. In it, he talked about the importance of kindness. "Kindness is like spreading hugs around the world," Orion said. He encouraged listeners to join him in doing small, kind acts for others.
Orion's speech won the competition. He used his 500 prize to support his first Race to Kindness project, a toy drive for a local children's hospital. He collected 619 toys. After that, Orion wanted to make an even bigger impact(影响). Working with others, he packed meal bags for people in need with a kind message in each bag. Orion also organized several events in his community. In all, he collected more than 100,000 meals!
Orion believes that everyone wins this race. He says, "If you're kind to someone else, it can make their day brighter and inspire them to pass on kindness. And then it just grows and grows, and it can make the world a better place."
