Doing it for the kids

Looking for a chance to share your creative skills and bring a smile to the faces of some disadvantaged kids? The Beijing charity organization Compassion for Migrant Children (CMC), needs volunteers to run one-hour workshops for after-school program.

The program starts on September 10 and runs from 5:30-6:45pm, each school day. It is held at the Dawangjing Community Center, north of Lido. Coordinator Bridget Goddard, 28, said volunteers run their workshops on a variety of themes, such as arts and crafts, music, sport, drama, dance or games. "Any help would be appreciated", Goddard said.

The charity's after-school program has an educational as well as mentoring(辅导) focus. The children are helped with their homework, learn valuable life skills, and take part in the various workshops that are presented by volunteers.

Goddard, of Midlands in the United Kingdom, combines a full-time teaching job at Yew Chung International School with her volunteer work for CMC.

She said many migrant children had trouble adapting to urban life, after moving from the countryside with their parents, who came to Beijing to work. Goddard said behavioral and emotional problems were common, but "dramatic changes" were possible simply by treating the children with compassion. Since she started with CMC, Goddard said she had seen her young charges "come on in leaps and bounds".

For more information, or to register your interest in volunteering for the workshops, e-mail bridget.Goddard@eimc.china.org.

Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives or acts dishonestly on purpose.  1.  If a basketball team is for kids under 8, it's cheating for a 9-year-old play on the team. At school, in addition to cheating on a test, a kid might cheat by stealing someone else's idea for a science project.   2.  This kind of cheating is called plagiarizing (抄袭).

  3.  Jeff is doing it by sneaking answers to a test. And it's also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isn't. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people.

It's tempting(诱惑人的) to cheat because it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answer on the rest.   4.  And it won't help on the next test-unless the person cheats again.

  5.  They want to get good grades but hate hard work. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even though there seems to be a "good reason" for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.

A．Some kids cheat because they're lazy.

B．Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways.

C．But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material.

D．Some kids cheat once and feel so bad that they never do it again.

根据短文内容，从下框的A---F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。

A. Find inspiration around you

B. Spare no efforts to achieve your goal

C. Hold a positive attitude

D. Break the routine

E. Find a reason in everything you do

F. Take care of your health   

 
 
1.

  You may have goals of losing weight, dreaming of pursuing a passion or interest, plans of achieving success in your career and relationships, but without positive motivation, all these remain goals, plans and dreams if you are not motivated to achieve them and make them into reality. Positive thoughts play a major role in your outlook in life and in giving you the motivation to reach for you dreams. If you are optimistic that you can do the task at hand, or you can reach your goals, you will be motivated to take those steps towards achieving it.

 
 
2.

  Whether it is nature’s beauty, or great relationships from friends and family, being able to find inspiration has a positive impact in getting yourself motivated to do what you want to achieve and live a better life, so strive to make friends and keep a happy relationship with your family.

 
 
3.

  One of the things that can contribute to lack of motivation is doing the same things every day and getting stuck into it without knowing where you are heading. Sometimes you have to explore other opportunities, learn new skills and explore other interests. Do not be afraid to take risks, explore new ways of achieving your goals and get out of your comfort zone at times to discover new things around you and take advantage of new opportunities in life.

 
 
4.

A tired and stressed body most often leads to lack of motivation to do what you want to do. Have a regular exercise. This will not only make you become stronger physically but will also lift up your mood to tackle (处理)life’s challenges each day.

 
 
5.

  Most often, we feel mostly motivated if there is a need to do it. Finding the reason why you live your life each day will truly make everything easy and help you get motivated. Dedicating(致力于) your efforts to someone you love and treasure is also a good motivation that you can give yourself. No matter what challenges you have to face, for as long as you know that you are doing it for someone you love, you will find yourself motivated to do it.

Ryka Inc.

Since I started this company in my kitchen seven years ago. I always dreamt of what it would be some day. Focusing on that goal helps me get through tough times .To get the kind of success that you want, you need to dream big .That’s the starting point, Every success story begins with big dreams. You need to have big dreams for yourself, like being somebody rich, famous or fulfilled .You need to have a clear goal of what you want to achieve.

Also, I think it’s really important that the people you’re working with are as committed to the same goal as you are, so you can support each other and keep each other energetic.

The Body Shop Inc.

In America, we have a shop in Harlem where 50 percent of the profits go into the community development, and the other 50 percent go toward the funding of a similar shop elsewhere in the United States. The pride that shop brings to the staff and local people inspired me.

What The Body Shop does successfully is use our facilities in the street and shopping centers to talk about real human issues like AIDS. recycling, human rights, and community service or to encourage people to speak out against anything they consider to be unjust. Knowing our products are symbols of social change is really encouraging.

Ben &Jerry’s Homemade Inc.

I’m energized by the people I work with. I’m very relationship-driven, which a think is different from most entrepreneurs. I’m inspired by doing things that are not normal and that most people think don’t fit into the business world or don’t make any sense.

In business, you are judged by the company you keep—from your management team, board of directors, and strategic partners. Maybe the lady you met in a trade association meeting can help you secure funding, or the gentleman at a conference can provide you with management advice.

Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises

A. number of years ago, I was interviewed by someone who was writing a book on enterprises. He asked me. ”What’s the opposite of work?” I answered. ”Lazy” He started laughing and said, ” Believe it or not, a lot of entrepreneurs say the same thing.”

The average person thinks the opposite of work is play, but to an entrepreneur, work is play. I think it all adds up to having fun. it’s fun to create; it’s fun to entertain, and it’s fun to make people happy with our service. When it stops being fun. I’ll stop doing it.

Make-Up Art Cosmetics（M.A.C）

One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, “I hate makeup, but I love M.A.C.” That’s what moves me on. Even people who don’t wear makeup can appreciate our company, what it stands for, its values, and the way we do business.

We work from an inverted pyramid, where the customers are always at the top, Our customers inspire me and keep me going. They and our staff, not money, make me enthusiastic. If I had stayed in this business just for the money, I would have closed down years ago.

You can’t be everything to everybody. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. To be effective, you need to identify your strengths and concentrate on them, you’ll become more successful if you are able to channel your efforts to areas that you do best. In business, for example, if you know you are good at marketing, then give, I full play. Seek help or assistance in areas that you may be poor at, such as accounting or bookkeeping. To turn your weakness into strength, consider taking hands-on learning or training.
