Father Maurice Chase used a special way to celebrate his 90th birthday. The Catholic priest（神父） took $ 15,000 in cash to Los Angeles’ Skid Row (贫民区) and gave it away. Twenty wheelchair – bound peop
le received $100 bills, while the rest received $1to $ 3 each．
“I come out here to tell them that God loves them and I love them and that some one is concerned about them,” Chase said．
Chase has given away cash and blessings every Sunday at the same corner for 24 years．Several hundred people wait for him every week．
He makes a point of coming on Thanksgiving and Christmas, too, but this is the first year he spent his birthday in the downtown neighborhood where people live mainly in shelters and on dirty sidewalks．
“ It’s the place that makes me the happiest．I just love it,” said Chase. “I look forward to coming here.”
The money comes from donations he receives from rich and famous people he met during his work as assistant to the president of Loyola Marymount University．
The crowd broke into choruses of “Happy Birthday” several times. Some people presented him birthday cards, to his delight．
Travis Kemp, a 51 – year – old disabled man with long black hair, was one of the lucky 20 to receive $ 100. He said he had no special plans for spending the money. “He has a lot of respect from me,” Kemp said. “I know I couldn’t do it.”

family home for a while. Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea
to let your teens live with a friend or relative.
"It was the break I need at the time," said Richant Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living
with grandmother when he was 15.
"It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents," Lerner said. He now heads the
Institute (学会)for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University. Experts say teens living away
from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions
to problems.
This is different from running away, the experts stress (强调). Runaways are often feeing serious
problems.
Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for
a while with a relative or with the family of a friend. If there is a conflict (冲突) at home, having a teen live
elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.
Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the
late years has become the norm (准则) only in recent times. "In the 17 th century, children were often sent to
live in other people's homes when they were about 10 or 11," he said.
B. let them live for a while away from their families
C. send for a doctor
D. keep them in the house

D. teens often left their parents
