He was about 60 years old but 23 like 100. When I first met Laddie, he was standing on the side of a 24 street greeting every person 25 with a smile,a pleasant greeting and an extended palm(伸展开的手掌). Each day, people 26 past Laddie—either not noticing that he was there or 27 him — a smelly hobo.

I found Laddie to be a(n) 28 character for my photo journey, so I paid him to allow me to stad in the background and 29 him. I spent three days 30  somewhere, and photographing Laddie. Most of the time he didn’t know where I was. Each 31  he stood in a busy place of town  32  the world with a smile,just to earn some money for a meal.

One 33 day,as I watched from a bench off in the distance, a young girl, around six or seven,came to Laddie and 34 him something. Laddie was 35 about it. He reached in his pocket and gave the girl some thing. The girl ran back to her parents 36 showing them what she had 37 .I was so curious(好奇的)about the 38  that I went to Laddie immediately and asked him what happened.

Laddie 39  :“The little girl came to me and gave me a coin, so I gave her two in return 40   I wanted to show her that when you are generous, you will receive more than you give”

     Each year about a quarter of a million Americans study abroad. For many of them, a summer or a
semester in a foreign country now involves more than just sitting in classrooms and hanging out with other American students. Instead, they are encouraged and sometimes required to be involved in the local
communities they are studying in.
     "It's absolutely important that they know something about how people in other parts of the world live
and think, and how they behave," says William Finlay, head of the sociology department at the University
of Georgia. In 2008, he co-founded a study abroad program with South Africa's Stellenbosch University.
It combines traditional academic in-class learning with community involvement.
     "We've been working with a non-government organization in the township. Our students typically
either work with little children in day care centers or work in the library and teach very basic computer
skills to young children," says Finlay.
     The three-week program proved to be an unforgettable experience for Hillary Kinsey. She says, "It
was interesting to learn the history of the area and then talk to these people and see what the social
dynamics were, and how certain groups felt about other groups."
     When Hillary Kinsey returned home from South Africa, she and other students in the program
established a non-profit group. Kinsey says the group wants to contribute to advancing education and
development in South Africa. "One of the purposes of the group is that we hope to raise money and
awareness about the situation where those people live and help to promote any sort of educational
development that we can, " Kinsey added.
     While many study abroad programs focus on helping Americans to learn foreign languages, others
take a more intensive approach. "In all of our locations, we place students with local roommates," says
Mark Lenhart, director of CEF Academic Programs, which sends more than a thousand students to China, Korea and other countries each year.
     He says American students benefit from such one-on-one interactions, in spite of the challenges they
face. Lenhart says, "They have to adjust to the local life. This will enable students to become more employable when they graduate."
1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How non-profit groups work in South Africa.
B. How to take part in study abroad programs.
C. Americans studying abroad pay more attention to working with local children.
D. Americans combine community involvement with study while studying abroad.

  A nurse and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago.Buses came by, not the one they wanted.The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.

  The driver looked at her but made no answer, so she repeated the question.To her surprise, he then closed the door on her arm, and drove off.

  The woman, her arm stuck in the door, ran alongside the bus, shouting.Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too, were shouting.

  When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number.Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.

  After the driver’s bosses at a tax-supported governmental company(CTA)heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment:a five-day suspension(停职)without pay.That struck me as rather light.

  But Bill Baxa, the company’s public-relations man, said, “That’s pretty serious punishment.” Five days off work is serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, “Any time you take money away from someone, it is a terrible punishment.The driver makes $14 an hour.Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost.”

  Yes, that comes to $560, a good sum.But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less every day.If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week’s pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting suggestion:Give me a bus.Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I’ll slam the door shut, start the bus quickly and take them for a fast one-block run.

  And I’ll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it.Any taker? Mr.Baxa? Anyone? I didn’t think so.
