12 Spreading positivity - Teen CEO starts a business to make young people stay happy 美国女孩创办企业，助力传播正能量 Lena Ford, a 15-year-old US girl, is Positively Lena’s top boss. It is a business that brings joy to young people through a lot of products and services. Ford has been working in this area since she was seven. Back then, she began a project called Arting for You. For this project, she collected art supplies and gave them to kids for free in foster care. “My grandma always wanted to give back” to others, Ford told Time for Kids. Two years later, Ford started her business. She got the idea from her own experience. One day, her friend was very sad and she tried to remind her of all the positivethings in her life. “I realized that I wanted to be everyone’s positive friend,” writes Ford on her business’s website. The business mixes art, clothes and positive messages. It offers many different kinds of products, including notebooks, bags and office supplies – all with encouraging words on them, such as “peace and love”, “I am one of a kind” and “dance from your heart”. Part of the money Ford makes goes to people in need. She also offers activities to help kids feel good about themselves. The classes focus on things like creative writing and how to start and run your own business. Ford hopes to use these things to “remind young people of their worth”. “My goal is to spread positive energy ,” said Ford. 1. spread positivity:传播正能量 2. start a business: 创业 3. products and services :产品和服务 4. area : n.领域，区域 5. art supplies：美术用品 6. foster care :寄养 7. experience：n.经历，经验 8. remind sb of：提醒某人某事 9. offer：v.提供 10. encouraging ：adj.鼓励性的 encourage sb to do 鼓励...做 11. run your own business：经营你自己的生意 12. worth：n.价值 纸质版阅读练习答案: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.B 5.B 别忘了点击跟读版录音进行练习。这里是黛西英文，我们明天再见。
