2025 International Young Eco-Heroes

The first-place winner
Ask the hero
Alice WanjiruAge 11
Kenya(肯尼亚)
In the year of 2025, Alice won the International Young Eco-Hero Award (奖), showing that "no act is too small" to protect our planet.
Alice began planting trees at the age of six. She has grown over 20,000 trees across Kenya and hopes to plant 1.1 million by 2032. Besides, she organizes plastics clean-up and even successfully pushed the government to make stronger rules against pollution.
I felt so excited! I want to thank my family and all my supporters—they've always been there for me. This award isn't just for me; it's for every kid who helps the planet.
What made you start planting trees?
When I was little, I saw how dirty our environment was—rubbish everywhere, polluted air. I thought, "I have to do something." Trees provide a lot, such as oxygen(氧气), food, and medicine.
What are your future plans?
I'll keep supporting anybody who tries to protect our earth. And I also dream of becoming a dermatologist
(皮肤科医生), which connects two things I care: health and
environment.
My word to all the young people is: remember that trees are life. If everyone plants at least five trees, we can save the world. And no one is too young to change the world. Don't wait—start today!
A. Who gives you the idea to be a tree planter?
B. Do you have any advice for young people?
C. How did you feel when you won the prize?
D. I will continue to plant as many trees as I can!
E. Even planting a small one can make a big difference.
Do you want to help save the earth like Alice? What would you like to do? (不超过15词,并在答题纸上作答。)

①In real life, babies can't drive cars, and your classmate's face may not appear in a movie. But with deepfakes, these things are possible. Deepfakes are pictures or videos made by AI. They are fake (伪造的), but they look just like real ones.
②"It's fun and creative to use deepfakes," says Will Gardner, an expert on child online safety. "But they can be dangerous too." Some deepfakes show people saying or doing things they never did. Others are used to spread lies, fake news, or trick people into giving away money or personal information.
③ ▲ One famous fake from history is a photo of the Loch Ness Monster (怪物) in 1934. It actually showed a toy that moved underwater, with a scary sea monster's head on the front. More recently, photos and videos can be faked using computer programmes and apps. Now, the new AI tools make it easier to create fakes.
④Although deepfake technology is improving quickly, there are still signs to check whether a photo or a video is fake or not. For example, in a video, if the person's eyes never blink like real eyes do, or if their mouth movements don't match the words they are saying, we can know something is wrong.
⑤What's more, if you think a photo might be fake, try uploading (上传) it on the Internet to find out where it comes from. You might find the original photo which is unchanged. You can also read the comments (评论) below it to see what other people think.
⑥What should you do about deepfakes? If you see something that looks fake, talk to an adult you trust. They can give you good advice. Fake photos or videos may cause harm when people share them a lot. So if something seems mean or hurtful, the best choice is not to share it.
(1)、Which of the following is a deepfake?A、A video that is created by AI. B、A photo that is taken with a camera. C、An article that is written by AI. D、A movie that is made by a film maker.(2)、What can be put in the ____ in Paragraph 3?A、Deepfakes are widely used in our daily life. B、AI also helps people create many popular toys. C、New technology brings both changes and challenges. D、Faking photos isn't new, and technology makes it simpler.(3)、How can you check whether a photo is fake?A、Ask for your classmates' ideas. B、Put it online to find where it is from. C、Look at it through special glasses. D、Make some comments about it online.(4)、What is the correct structure of the text?A、

Every afternoon after school, children played happily in the Giant's(巨人的) garden. It was a lovely garden with soft green grass, and twelve peach trees full of pink and white flowers. Birds sang sweetly in the branches(树枝).
The Giant was away visiting a friend for seven years. When he came back, he saw children playing in his garden. "What are you doing here?" he shouted angrily. The children ran away in terror, as fast as they could. "My garden is my garden," he said. "Only I can play here." So he built a high wall around it and put up a sign.
After that, spring came everywhere, but in the Giant's garden, it was still winter. Birds did not sing, and trees did not flower. Only the cold north wind and snow visited. The Giant felt sad. He
wondered why spring never came.
One morning, he heard a bird singing beautifully. He looked out and saw children coming through a small hole in the wall. They sat in the trees, and where each child sat, the tree grew many flowers. Birds flew and sang happily. Only in one corner was it still winter. There, a little boy cried because he was too small to climb a tree.
The Giant felt sorry. "How selfish(自私的)I was!" he said. "Now I understand." He went down, gently helped the boy into the tree, and then knocked down the wall. "This garden is yours now, children," he said. From that day, the garden was always full of children's laughter, and spring stayed there forever.

What is the true value of a career? Is it about money, fame (名声), or personal satisfaction (满足感)? This is a question that every young person will eventually face. During a recent "Career Week" at my school, I had the chance to interview several people and get their1 perspectives (视角).
The first person I interviewed was a successful businessman. He owns a big company and has made a lot of money. He told me that his career gives him a sense of2 . "I like the challenge of solving problems and beating my competitors (竞争对手)," he said. For him, success is about 3 goals and feeling powerful.
Then I spoke with a nurse, named Anna, who works in a children's hospital. Her view was completely4 . "I don't make much money," she said with a gentle smile. "But when I see a sick child get better and go home with his or her parents, I feel a joy that money can't5 ." She believes that the value of a career lies in the love and care you give to6 .
The last person I interviewed was a writer. He has written many books, but he is not very famous. He told me that writing is a lonely7 . "Sometimes I sit in front of my computer for hours without writing a single word. It's frustrating (令人沮丧的)," he said. "8 , when I finally finish a story and know that someone, somewhere, might read it and feel something, all the hard work becomes9 ."
After hearing these different stories, I started to think deeply. The businessman finds value in achievement. The nurse finds value in10 . The writer finds value in creation and connection. They all have different definitions (定义) of a successful career.
I realized that there is no single right answer to the question. The value of a career is not something that can be11 by others. It's something you define for12 . What matters most is not what you do, but13 you do it. If you do your job with passion, kindness, and integrity (正直), then your career will have great value, no matter what it is.
As for me, I am still searching for my path. But I am no longer afraid of the14 . I understand that choosing a career is not just about finding a job; it's about finding a way to express who I am and contribute to the world. This is the most important 15 I learned from Career Week.

Nora was a little fox living in Oakwood Forest. She loved collecting small sticks and soft leaves to make little homes for her forest friends. But there was a big problem in the forest: every time a storm came, the thin willow branches (柳枝) holding the birds' nests (鸟巢) would break. Baby birds would then have no place to live and feel scared.
One rainy night, Nora saw a broken nest on the ground. She said, "I hope I can make a strong nest that won't fall in storms." The next day, she found a willow branch by the river. She found it flexible and could bend (弯曲) easily. Later, she watched a spider making a web between two trees. She waved gently at the busy spider and thanked him quietly. She was very happy because she realized that silk would be her secret tool. Because the silk wouldn't break in the wind.
Nora got a great idea. She used the bendy branches to make round nest bases (底座). Then she used the spider silk to tie the branches together. A curious squirrel watched her from a nearby tree, then jumped over to offer a handful of dry grass. Then they put soft grass inside to keep baby birds warm and dry. What a strong and comfortable nest!
