Question

【題目】Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends much time cleaning sneakers. Some once belonged to him; some were his friends. But soon they will have new owners; underprivileged children in the US and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn's Share Our Shoes (S. 0. S.) charity.

He was once a football star in high school. " I started thinking about all the things I got from running—the health benefits, the friendships, the confidence, " he says. “And I realized there are children who don't even have shoes.”

Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers, then put out a call to teammates and the town. His goal was to have 100pairs by Christmas 2007. Surprisingly the count climbed to 500pairs. Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools. To date, S. 0. S. has collected and donated over 3，000 pairs.

Woodburn has cleaned almost all of them. “People think of it as dirty work, “He says.” But I like doing it. As I work, I imagine who will get each pair. “It takes three to five minutes to clean one pair, and he'll do up to 100 pairs at a time.

To ship the footwear, Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, a nonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipment to children around the world, whose founder and president said Greg's running shoes were a nice addition. For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity. Two boys in Southern California attended school on alternate(間隔的）days because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small the other. Thanks to S. 0. S. ，each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.
