Crossroads International
1.How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network.We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them.We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena (福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. 71
2.Who do we help?
72 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it.They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task.Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets.They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.
3. 73
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget.We do not buy the goods we send.They are donated. 74 Nobody in our organization receives a salary.Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.
Those that donate goods and services:
●Factories ●Manufacturers
●Hospitals ●Hotels
●Educational Institutions ●Householders
●Transport Companies ●Offices
●Other Charities
75 While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.
A.One resource that we are always in need of is people.
B.So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.
C.What can I do?
D.The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets.
E.How do we operate?
F.All volunteer work is done at our warehouse.
G.Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services.

第二节:任务型阅读(共10个空格:每空1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在文后第71至第80小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。注意:每空1个单词。
Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-courses activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking , sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
