     And why, in this age of communication, are we still so isolated(孤立) from each other?
     More than 2 million elderly people are expected to be living alone, with no family, by the end of the
next ten years.
     It does not have to cost a fortune to make a real difference. The We Are What We Do organization
has launched a book-Change the World for a Fiver.
    Inside are 50 simple things you can do to help mankind. They include recycling books, using energy
saving light bulbs (灯炮)  and " reverse haggling" in charity shops-paying more than the asking price.
     They may seem small but they are by no means in significant(无意义的). Metro has joined forces
with We Are What We Do, a branch of the Community Links charity.
     From Monday we will be asking readers to complete an action each day and report how successful
and fulfilling it was.
     Community Links founder David Robinson said, "We are delighted to be working with Metro. With
around 2 million Metro readers, we hope that 2 million of you are inspired to act and will help to bring
this exciting vision(梦想) to life."
     The $ 5 book is on sale at Waterstones, WHSmith, Sainsbury's, Ottakers, Borders and online at
Amazon. Co. uk.

In college, Spring Break （春假）is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students in communities both at home and abroad.
The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy （识字）, homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research.
The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.
In the spring of 2006, about 36,000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Program.
Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program, has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.”
The Program began in 1991.Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.
