　　Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所)volunteer．His mother was telling him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice, about how one day, she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her．But there was nothing wrong, he only wanted some companionship．He didn't want to be alone, so she sat with him．Goldsmith thought to himself, "There's no reason I can't do that．"

　　Not only did he do it, but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates．Last month, Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith, 18, for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a ＄500 annual scholarship for him, which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice．

　　“ That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick, " Susie Flood said．"He hasn't just given of his own time and energy, but he's encouraged others to do the same．" Goldsmith hadn't had any experience with hospice before entering the door of Taylor House．He chose it because his mother's friend, whose story had forced him to volunteer, works there．

　　"They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers, " Goldsmith said．"The principal at Dowling approved my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to volunteer．" Students must earn a certain number of service, or community－service, hours to graduate from Dowling．

　　When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college, he'll give up leading the hospice service－learning program．"I want us, as Dowling students, to keep making a difference, " he said．'It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people,, but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside．"

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $ 5 and $ 10 and $ 20 to the cause.

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy(冷漠), who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.

It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished(消失)from the Earth.

This is your victory.

And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.

You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime—two wars, a planet in peril(危亡), the worst financial crisis in a century.

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.

……

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

The lodge can accommodate two couples and is kitted out with showers, a microwave and a fridge.
The real attractions are the fish; the lodge is like a goldfish bowl in reverse, where you sit and watch angelfish, parrotfish, barracuda and snappers peering in at you through the window.
Rates: From US$400
Das Park Hotel, Austria
Stay overnight in a concrete sewer pipe on the banks of the River Danube.
The drainpipes are two meters in diameter and two and a half meters long, with a porthole to look out of, a front door to close and a cozy nest to snuggle into, which includes a low-slung futon, bedside lamp, woolly blanket and light sleeping bag.
Rates: You pay as much, or as little, as you want.
Sant` Angelo Luxury Resort, Italy

Sixteen-year-old Karlos Dearmans’s future is looking much brighter than be might have imagined. “I’ve always been into bikes, but never thought I’d end up working with them,” he says. “This scheme has changed my life.”

Karlos is learning to refurbish(翻新) old bicycles in the workshop of ReCycle Bikes, a local community(社区) charity in Sheffied, which has a contract with the city council to provide training opportunities for young people aged 14 to 16, particularly those dropping out of school.

“It’s about engaging youngsters with education and you thtraining by teaching them work and life skills,” explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. “These young people have so much potential, but often don’t realize it.”

Established in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which, once restored, are sold for ￡20. Abandoned bikes supplied by the council ensure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve further the prospects of the young mechanics.

　　“The student population presents a large and ready market,” says Pearce. “So we approached the university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus. They thought it was a great idea, and agreed to supplement our council funding. This means we can train youngsters to repair extra 500 bikes over three years.”

　　Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the career development of those who have passed through his workshop. “However, in the past we depended on the evidence of personal accounts from the schools because of lack of human and material resources,” he says.

　　That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. “Most kids have ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a puncture. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the young and old a sense of freedom and independence, and the impact on their well-being is immense. Add to that a growing concern for the environment, and it’s no surprise that bike sales are on the increase.”

72．What do we know about ReCycle Bikes?

A．It is a popular brand of bikes which are sold in Sheffield．

B．It is a local community charity that provides training opportunities for reenagers．

C．It is a contract signed between a local community charity and the city council．

D．It is a training program offered by the city council to those excluded from school．

73．How did ReCycle Bikes run at the beginning?

A．By repairing bicycles donated by the public and selling them．

B．By donations from the public and Sheffield University．

C．By selling bicycles supplied by the city council．

D．By tuition fees from kids aged between 14 and 16．

74．ReCycle Bikes has formed a partnership with Sheffield University because ____________．

A．students at Sheffield University assure a large and ready market

B．Sheffield University offers many mechanical teachers to ReCycle Bikes

C．Sheffield University donates a lot of money to ReCycle Bikes

D．teenagers at ReCycle Bikes can study at Sheffield University

75．ReCycle Bikes depended on information from the schools in the past because .

A．the schools could give accurate information to improve its service

B．students disliked telling the truth when asked about their personal ideas

C．ReCycle Bikes didn’t have the ability to track students’ career development．

D．most of the training organizations did it this way at that moment
