试题分析：本文讲述了理查德大学毕业后找到一份新工作，薪水很高，他工作很努力。但是不久他失眠了，工作经常出错，在看过医生之后，他吃了药睡了两天，导致老板大怒。
小题1:考查名词， 根据题干，可知他善于动脑筋 ，故应该是用头，而非其他部位。所以本题选B。
小题2:考查副词根据上文可知，得到的报酬多，工作就应该更努力。故用harder。所以本题选B。
小题3:考查形容词 ，根据something was wrong with the young man 可知，本句的意思应是“他晚上不能入睡。”故应该是fall asleep。所以本题选A。
小题4:考查形容词， 根据上文和下文的often made mistakes可知，他应该是累了，故用tired。其他选项明显不符合题意。所以本题选D。
小题5:考查固定短语 ，look for“寻找”，look at“看”，look after“照顾”，look over“检查”。根据句意，应该是医生给他做了检查。所以本题选D。

小题8:考查名词 ，根据上文知道这是早上，当然是吃早饭，故用breakfast。所以本题选Ｄ。
小题9:考查副词， 根据题干，本句的意思是“我从来没有睡过这么好的觉。”故用never。所以本题选C。
小题10:考查动词， 根据Skunk (混蛋)!和下文我们可以推知，应该是老板对他喊，故用shout。所以本题选B。
点评：这篇短文内容比较简单，理解不难。各小题与上下文联系比较紧密，答题中一定要注意联系上下文。答完后多读几遍，看看是否符合逻辑，适当修改。个别小题可以当作单独的词义辨析题来做，先区分词义，结合语境选出最能使语句通顺的答案。 |

Can 13-year-olds do something to change the world? Cris Kesz Valdez, 13, from the Philippines believes so.
At the age of 7, Valdez set up an organization to give homeless kids things like slippers and toothbrushes. So far he has helped more than 10,000 children improve their lives in his hometown.
Valdez won the 2012 International Children’s Peace Prize on September 19, 2012.
“My motto is ‘we can change the world one heart at a time,’ ” Valdez said at the award ceremony.
In fact, Valdez is a homeless kid himself. He looked for food from trash, lived on the streets and slept in a public cemetery for most of his childhood. His parents didn’t care about him and often beat him. Valdez said he felt he was living in “darkness” at that time.
But this “darkness” didn’t turn him into a dark person. Valdez got help from community workers. On his first birthday party, at the age of 7, Valdez decided what he wanted most was to help other children who were still living on the streets.

That day was the birth of the organization, Championing Community Children. Since then, Valdez and his friends visit homeless children and hand out bags with slippers, toys and even candy. They nurse their wounds, teach them about their rights and offer them hope.
