【推荐1】Huaping, Yunnan, is one of the poorest areas in China. However, one school there has made big achievements. Over the past 12 years, it has sent more than 1,800 poor girls to universities.
The school was built by Zhang Guimei. Zhang began to teach in Huaping twenty years ago. Many of her girl students would disappear just before they finished their studies. Zhang wanted to know why. She learned that these girls were from very poor families. They were asked to make money at a young age. “I really want to study,” one girl cried and told Zhang.
Zhang wanted to change this. She collected money and, in 2008, built the Huaping High School for Girls. It is China’ s first and only free high school for girls. “You are welcome here if you want to study,” said Zhang.
It’s tiring to run such a school. Zhang is now in poor health after all these years of hard work. She has to take many different pills every day. However, she still puts in all her time and effort because the school and the students are more important to her than anything else. Zhang is really like a beacon of hope for the young girls in Huaping.

【推荐3】My father lives alone. He is 92 and has slow movement. We rang him yesterday to check after the wild weather. After making sure he was okay, we asked about his life recently. He said, “I’ve got something to tell you.” He then told us how he had gotten his groceries (食品杂货) to his car. A young gentleman (could be anywhere from 12 to 70 when you are 92) stopped and said, “I will help you take your groceries to your car.”
Dad wasn’t sure at first but said thank you. The man then unloaded (卸下) the groceries and made sure they were secure (稳固的). He then took the cart (手推车) back to the supermarket too. After a little chat, Dad said thank you again. The man just said, “No problem.”
A couple of days later, Dad was at the bank in the queue (排队). The “young” man behind him said, “I will hold your place while we wait. There is a chair over there. Go and sit down for a while.” Dad said, “Oh, why? Was I swaying (摇晃) or looking weak?”
“No,” was the reply, “I know my dad would find it hard to stand for so long.”
So, Dad thankfully went and sat down. When the time came for Dad to get to the front of the line, a nod of the head and a smile came his way.
Dad said to us, “I’m happily surprised by the respect and care shown by these two ‘young’ men.”
Judge the following statements true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
1. Although the father is old, he is still able to drive around by himself.
2. The young man at the supermarket bought groceries for the father.
3. The father found it hard to stand for a long time in the queue at the bank.
4. A young man kept his place in the queue so that the father could sit down for a rest.
5. The story tells us we should notice the needs of the elders around us.
| Dear Jordan, I don’t know how to chat with my classmates because we do not share the same interests. We don’t have anything to talk about. I am very lonely. What should I do? Jenny |
| Dear Jenny, To make friends, you must first be friendly. Everyone likes a friendly girl with a smile. You can give your classmates a compliment. Say something nice about their dressing styles or skills. Second, ask a question to start chatting. Find out what interests them and talk about that, even if it doesn’t interest you a lot. Ask your classmates questions and let them talk more. The conversation is more important than the topic. Finally, talk to more people. Say hello to the people you meet. Sit with different groups of people in the dining hall. If one person doesn’t want to talk with you, find someone else to chat with. Don’t just think about being lonely. Do something about it! Smile and say hello, even to the people who aren’t your friends. Doing things differently will help produce different results. Jordan |

【推荐2】People can find jobs in many ways. Sometimes, you can find a job easily by walking into a local store and looking at its notice board(布告栏). Local stores often have areas for people to put small signs to tell others what services they need or they can provide. Such services include looking after children, cleaning houses and so on.
Another popular tool for finding a job is the Internet. For example, people around the world can use the Craigslist website to buy things, meet people or find a job. It is said that the site can receive two million new jobs each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a university. For example, students at the University of Texas can go to the job center to get help. Many college students like this way better.
At times, some experts(专业人士) can also help people find a job. Susan Miller has her own company called California Job Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find a job by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods to help them find the right job. With her help, many people have succeeded in finding a good job.
