There were quite a lot of things that the philosophers of the old times got right and one of those things was that there is a very strong need for lawyers and government in a society. The government looks to protect and help you in times of need and the lawyers are there to fight for your case if you are treated unfairly. Just like then, there is still a need for government to help people when they need help now in today’s world. This sort of help can come from when people need social security benefits because they become disabled after some sort of accident.

If you have become disabled in recent days, then you certainly have rights go to find out whether you are qualified to receive the social security disability benefits. The social security disability is for those who have become disabled or are disabled due to some sort of accident that may have happened and that forces you to be out of work. This can be very frustrating because being out of work means that you cannot make money that you need in order to provide for yourself and those you are possible taking care of. This is where the government comes into play. The government will help you out with this and possibly give you money in order to keep yourself from ending up on the streets.

They understand that accidents do happen and that there needs to be some sort of help for those who get into accidents and cannot provide for themselves. If you are sure that you have a disability, get in touch with the social security department for more information. Meyers Law Firm can help you get the social security disability benefits you have rights to gain.

E．What if I don’t win?

F．You can win as long as you try your best

G．Determine your issues and keep your promises

Convincing people to vote for you is probably the scariest part of an election．The best strategy is to show your fellow students that you will do a good job．How do you do this?

61．_________________________________________

Think about why you want to run and what you want to do if you win．These are your issues．Then let people know what you will do if elected．When you do this, be careful not to make promises you can’t keep．Make sure your issues affect all students．If you promise to try to get the whole school painted your favourite color, students probably won’t vote for you．But, if you promise to get rid of that yucky（令人反感的）lunch menu item that no one likes, or raise money for more computers in the library, students will see that you are interested in things they care about, and they’ll vote for you．

62．____________________________________________

Keep it short, simple, and interesting, and students will remember you．Start by writing down your issues and the reasons you think you’re a good person for the job．This is the heart of the speech and will convince other students to vote for you．Start with a story to get people listening and then move on to your issues．Practice your speech so you get used to it, and you won’t be as nervous．Ask your parents or friends to listen a couple of times before the big day．When the time comes to give your speech, relax．You’ll be ready and the other students will notice．

63．_____________________________________________

One of the best ways to get people to vote for you is to talk to them about it．Ask your friends to help．In many elections, people don’t vote at all．If you take the time to talk to them ,and remind them to vote, you’ll increase your chances of winning．Remind them why you’re running, and why they should vote for you．They’ll appreciate that you took the time to talk to them in person．And they’ll probably remember your name on the ballot（选票）!

64．_____________________________________________

When you make your campaign posters, use a catchy slogan that helps other students remember your name．It can help you win votes．If you have trouble coming up with a catchy slogan, try searching the Internet．Don’t depend solely on posters．Your fellow students have to know why you’re running, and that’s why your speech and networking are so important．

65．_______________________________________________

If you keep these things in mind, you can win your election．Just remember that you have to be prepared to work hard to help your fellow students improve your school．

If you don’t win, remember there are always other ways to get involved and make a difference．If students see that you get things done, you could easily win the next time．

It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together.

　　One of the greatest sources of tension (紧张情绪) between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.

　　However，at the same time，your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.

　　There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease (缓解) the tension.

　　* When something with your friends interferes (冲突) with a family event，try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.

　　* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.

　　Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome (结果). You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration for the feelings of both your family and your friends，you can solve the problem in a tender way.
