This is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents. Can you find a little extra to give? On this page we suggest a few organizations you might like to help.

Littleton Children’s Home

We don’t want your money, but children’s toys, books and clothes in good condition would be very welcome.

Also—we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few hours or days as guests. You have so much—will you share it?

Phone Sister Thomas on 55671.

Children’s Hospice

We look after a small number of very sick children. This important work needs skill and love. We cannot continue without gifts of money to pay for more nursing staff. We also need story books and toys suitable for quiet games.

Please contact The Secretary, Little Children’s Hospice, Newby Road.w.^w..c.#o@m

Street Food

In the winter weather, it’s no fun being homeless. It’s even worse if you’re hungry. We give hot food to at least fifty people every night. It’s hard work, but necessary. Can you come and help? If not, can you find a little money? We use a very old kitchen, and we urgently need some new saucepans. Money for new ones would be most welcome indeed.

Contact Street Food, c/o Mary’s House, Elming Way, Littleton. Phone 27713.

Littleton Youth Club

Have you got an unwanted chair?—a record player?—a pot of paint?

Because we can use them!

We want to get to work on our meeting room!

Please phone 66231 and we’ll be happy to collect anything you can give us.

Thank you!

The Night Shelter

We offer a warm bed for the night to anyone who has nowhere to go. We rent the former Commercial Hotel on Green Street. Although it is not expensive, we never seem to have quite enough money. Can you let us have a few pounds? Any amount, however small, will be such a help.

Send it to us at 15, Green St, Littleton. Please make check payable to Night Shelter.

     A letter to Edward,a columnist (报刊专栏作家)
     Dear Mr Expert,
     I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home.I always promised myself that I'd get out as
soon as possible.Now,at age 20,I have a good job and a nice house,and I'm really proud
of the independence I've achieved.
     Here's the problem:several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had
places like mine so much so that they make mine theirs.
     It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me.But now they seem
to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like.They bring boyfriends over,
talk on the phone and stay out forever.
     I enjoy having my friends here sometimes-it makes the place feel comfortable and warm
but this is my home,not a party house.I was old enough to move out on my own,so why can't
I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy (隐私)?
Joan
Edward's reply to Joan
     Dear Joan,
     If your family didn't pay attention to your needs when you were a child,you probably have
trouble letting others know your needs now.
     And if you've gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere (气氛)
,you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with-or destroy the
nice atmosphere you now enjoy.You need to understand that in true friendship it's okay to put
your own needs first from time to time.
     Be clear about the message you want to send.For example,"I really love your company but
I also need some privacy.So please call before you come over."

1. We can learn from the first letter that Joan________.

A．lives away from her parents
B．takes pride in her friends
C．knows Mr Expert quite well
D．hates her parents very much

2．We can infer from the first letter that________.

A．Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B．Joan's friends visit her more often than she can accept
C．Joan doesn't like the parties at all
D．Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over

3．According to Mr Expert,why can't Joan tell her friends her feelings?

A．She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B．She does not understand true friendship.
C．Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D．She does not put her needs first.

4．The underlined word "conflict" in the second letter means________.

A．dependent life
B．fierce fight
C．bad manners
D．painful feeling

5．The second letter suggests that Mr Expert________.

A．is worried about Joan's problem
B．warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends
C．advises Joan on how to refuse people
D．encourages Joan to be brave enough
