Though I don’t have much money, I always try to think positively. However, sometimes, I also feel depressed and sad when I think how others have more than me, so I hate thinking about money. When I was younger, I always wondered why money was so important. But as I get older, of course that changes.
Last night, on my way home I stopped by to buy some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man came over and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I had none. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change?” I smiled and said, “Sorry, I don’t.” He was respectful, saying, “OK, thank you.” Though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits.
I went in and ate my meal, but I wondered if he was hungry, thinking if I should buy him something or not. Only after I finished my meal did I decide to order another one for him. At this point I didn"t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway. At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, for it was cold outside. As I waited, I noticed the homeless man standing beside me with a tray（盘子）full of a few coins. I looked at him and smiled, “The hamburger and this hot chocolate are for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you. That’s very kind of you.”
No matter how hard your life is, there are always those whose life is harder. And it"s not always about happiness, but it’s about love. If you love someone, you’ll give them what they deserve because the greatest thing you can give is love.

举一反三
Many people run after goals that they hope will make them happy，but happiness is not always the final result.So how does one decide which goals will end in personal happiness and which will not？How do the things in life affect personal happiness?
The most important thing is people’s attitude toward life，which can greatly affect their personal levels of happiness and satisfaction with life.
Psychologists have known for some time that optimism is a good way to fight against unhappiness.It’s probably no secret that optimistic people are considered to be much happier people than pessimists.There are specific characteristic features optimists have (pleasant ways of thinking)，that bring them more success，greater health，increased life satisfaction, and other good things.If you became an optimist，it can mean that you became a very happy person，despite your circumstances，and it can actually bring more things into your life to be happy about.“If you are optimistic and you think life is going to get better，it will become a selffulfillment prediction.” says one of the scientists.“Happy people manage to look on the bright side，even if they meet big problems on their way.”
Positive psychologists believe that people can learn how to become happy and that everyone can teach themselves to see a half empty glass as half full.All they have to do is to spend time thinking about all the things that have gone right for them，rather than complaining what has gone badly.But people who are depressed usually think and worry about something that went wrong in the past.

Poverty today is a major global issue. Although there are all kinds of definitions used to explain it, in simple words, it means the inability of a person to even get his basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, safe drinking water, health and education. Poverty can be found in each and every corner of the world, although the causes may differ from country to country. Given below are the main causes of poverty in the world today.
Overpopulation is one of the main causes behind the threatening of poverty on an individual level as well as a social level. This is simple math: If there are more mouths to feed and less income, definitely much will remain poor.
Another theory which is used as an explanation for poverty is lack of education. If you look at any of the underdeveloped countries, you will find that the level of education there is very low. Lack of education means lack of employment opportunities, thus leading to unemployment coupled with poverty in the future.
Moving away from one’s own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too. It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs. Meanwhile, they live in bad conditions. The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them.
There may be other causes of poverty like the change in business. For example, in America, a couple of decades ago, heavy industry flourished ,which employed a lot of African-American people. But now, the focus is more on information technology and health care, both of which employ only skilled and trained people. This has led to unemployment among African-Americans.
Poverty has many ill effects on society. That’s why steps should be taken to get rid of it!

[1] People of all ages and races can serve as volunteers. They work in various organizations without pay. Volunteering improves your life and the lives of others. You can meet new people and make a positive difference in the world.
[2] Volunteers generally work with others either as part of a team completing a project or caring for other people such as patients in a nursing home or helping children through an organization such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters. Volunteers should be generally cheerful and easy to work with and have a positive attitude even if things are not satisfactory in their own lives.
[3] Some volunteers organize events or groups of people to work on various projects. Without their good organizational skills, these projects might not happen. For example, if you’re the Parent-Teacher Association President for your school, you will be responsible for organizing the individual committees in your school. If you have good organizational skills, volunteering will become less stressful and you can give back to your community in the way you intended.
[4] Volunteers have to be willing to devote a certain amount of hours each week or month depending on the situation. It is necessary for them to go through testing or training before they begin volunteering. The best volunteers do what they say they’re going to do and show up when they say they’re going to be there unless there are situations beyond their control.
[5] Good volunteers see the good in others, whether it’s the people they’re working with or the people they’re serving. These volunteers generally go beyond what they’re asked to do because they want to get to know the people they’re serving. They go beyond surface relationships by remembering names, information and stories told to them. Volunteers that are healthy and well-balanced will bring that feeling to the environment, and the people they’re helping will be affected.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同龄人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures, the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society, adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.
This pattern of age segregation(隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults, with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults. School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children. Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 t0 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent t0 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size.
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents" daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (白治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)
小题1:"This pattern of age segregation" refers to the phenomenon that adolescents segregate themselves from
小题2:Besides changes in the workplace, are the other two factors contributing to adolescent peer culture.
小题3:When do adolescents start to spend less time with adults?
