【题目】

Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off(停学) before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give up their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the country.

Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now she’s living in Belize. Pauline says, “These days, I’m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted (污染), the coral dies. I`ll help to do research(调查) on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.”

“I’m staying with a family here and I help to do some housework. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people and myself! When I finish my work, I will stay here for another three months because I want to travel around Belize and Central America”

【题目】 Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate with them politely.

How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.

Do you know How to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.

Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other countries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk.

And how do you say goodbye? That’s easy, wave(挥手) to say goodbye. But be careful! In Greece, it’s not at all polite! In fact, it’s very rude!

【题目】 Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce(弹跳)back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of . If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
