10．When Women Were"Ladies"
As late as 1800，women's only place was in the home．The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable．No"nice"woman would d（66）reamof entering what was strictly a"man's world"．Even if she could，what would she do？Men were positive that no women could deal with a job outside her home．This was such a w（67）idelyaccepted idea that when the famous Bront? sisters began writing books in 1846，they disguised （伪装） themselves by signing their books w（68）ithmen's names．
Teaching was the first profession （职业） open to women soon after 1800．But even so，that was not an e（69）asy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men．Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to
a（70）ccept women．
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became f（71）amous．Because she was a wealthy and cultured woman，as well as a nurse，people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the s（72）ickand still be"ladies"．Miss Nightingale opened England's first training school for nurses in 1860．
The i（73）nventionof the typewriter （打字机） in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world．Because women had slender （纤细的），quick f（74）ingers，they learned to operate typewriter quickly and well．Businessmen found that they had to hire women for this new kind of work．
By 1900，thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools，hospitals，and offices in both England and America．Some women even m（75）anagedto become doctors or lawyers．The idea that"nice"women could work in the business world had been accepted．

8．On March 15，many people in the UK wore a plastic red nose．It wasn't just for fun．
They were also raising money to fight poverty（贫穷） in the UK and Africa．
This day is called Red Nose Day．It is a huge charity event in the UK every other year．
On this day，people do something funny to raise money．
A charity is an organization，which tries to support others，help animals or protect the environment．Besides Red Nose Day，there are many other creative ways to help people in need around the world．
Many charity organizations run charity shops in western countries．The shops sell second-hand goods donated by the public，such as books and clothes．The money raised goes to help sick children and homeless people．Many young people love these shops．
The first modern charity shop was opened by UK Oxfam in 1948and is still in operation．Now，the UK has more than 10，200charity shops．
Another way involves（涉及） many famous people．They hold concerts to raise money and awareness（意识） about charity．
For example，the Irish singer Bob Geldof and Scottish musician Midge Ure organized the Live 8concerts in 2005．The theme was poverty in Africa．There were 10concerts held in different cities at the same time．Over 1，000musicians performed to ask people to give their names，which they made into a"Live 8list"．The list was then presented to world leaders．
"This is really a United Nations．The whole world has come together in solidarity（团结） with the poor，"former UN Secretary General（秘书长） Kofi Annan told the BBC．
In China，there are many charity organizations，too，such as the Red Cross Society of China，which was set up in 1904，and the Love Without Boundaries（国界） Foundation．Every person can make a difference in helping others in need．Here are some tips for you．
●Donating money is a very common way of giving．You must have seen some donation boxes kept in stores and in malls．There is a picture or a message on the box telling where the money will go．Dropping change into the box is a simple way of helping others．
●Next time，when you clean your house，try to keep old things that may not be useful to you，such as books，bags，shoes and clothes．Then，you can donate them to a local charity organization．Just make sure these things are clean and usable．
●You can help others in need by becoming a volunteer．During the holiday，you can help to teach children from poor homes，or visit the old people，for example．

7．Qi Haoran，a Junior 1student at High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology，was quite busy over the past winter vacation-and not just with homework．Qi，together with 10other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign（光盘行动）．
The 11students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food．"Excuse me．Do you know that 950million people around the world still haven't got enough to eat？Could you please not waste food？"They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day．
China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food．CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200million people for a year．
It's a tradition that Chinese people offer lots of food when they invite others to dinner．Many even feel that they will lose face if their guests have eaten all their food．
Luckily the campaign has got the support of many．In a restaurant in Xinjiang，the owner gives the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker（贴花）．People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10stickers．More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers（剩饭剩菜） home．
Wasting food is a serious problem around the world，not only in China．It's said that 2billion tons（吨） of food ends up as waste every year．This is as much as half of all the food in the world．The UN Environment Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization held a"Think，Eat，Save"program on January 24to help reduce（减少） food waste．
To reduce food waste is a big task，and it needs time．It's important that everyone does their bit，just like Qi．Did you finish your meals today？
