This is a time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents. Can you find a little extra to give? On this page we suggest a few organizations you might like to help.

Littleton Children’s Home

We DON’T want your money, but children’s toys, books and clothes IN GOOD CONDITION would be very welcome.

Also, we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few hours or days as guests. You have so much─will you share it?

Phone Sister Thomas on 55671

Children’s Hospice

We look after a small number of very sick children. This important work needs skill and love. We cannot continue without gifts or money to pay for more nursing staff. We also need storybooks and toys suitable for quiet games.

Please contact the Secretary, Little Children’s Hospice, Newby Road.

Street Food

In the winter weather, it’s no fun being homeless. It’s even worse if you’re hungry. We give hot food to at least fifty people every night. It’s hard work, but necessary. Can you come and help? If not, can you offer a little money? We use a very old kitchen, and we need some new saucepans(平底锅). Money for new ones would be most welcome indeed.

Contact Street Food, c/o Mary’s House, Elming Way. Littleton Phone 27713

Littleton Youth Club

Have you got an unwanted chair?─a record-player?─a pot of paint ? Because we can use them!

We want to get to work on our meeting room!

Please phone 66231 and we’ll be happy to collect anything you can give us.

Thank you!

The Night Shelter

We offer a warm bed for the night to anyone who has nowhere to go. We rent the former Commercial Hotel on Green Street. Although it is not expensive, we never seem to have quite enough money. Can you let us have a few pounds? Any amount, however small, will be such a help.

There is an old saying about volunteer work that goes like this: "No one can do everything, but everyone can do something."

Today, many people volunteer their time and energy to help others. There are a lot of ways to meet other people's needs, and it seems there is a volunteer group for everything. Some provide education, while others offer adventure. Many do both. For example, some volunteers provide emergency help after a catastrophic event or disaster. Others are happy to get dirty while repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods. Young people see suffering and loneliness around them and find ways to help. And history lovers help archeologists search for ancient objects to help deepen knowledge of the past.

The volunteers also work in many areas around the world, including Haiti. More than two years have passed since a seven point zero earthquake shook the nation. The exact number of people who died may never be known. Estimates gave numbers from ninety five thousand to more than three hundred thousand.

Thousands of survivors of the Haitian earthquake still live in temporary shelters. Last year, former American President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn joined five hundred Habitat volunteers in the town of Leogane to build houses.

Organizations do not have to be large to get volunteers. An activist group in Dharamsala, India is a good example. Jodie Underhill from England arrived in northern India several years ago. She planned to volunteer for an environmental project. She found a lot to do there. She could hardly believe how much garbage was ruining some of the area's most beautiful sights. Miss Underhill learned about _______________________ while taking part in other volunteer projects. But soon enough she formed her own group, Mountain Cleaners. Miss Underhill says the work is very hard and the Indian media started calling her "Garbage Girl." But she says she was pleased with the name.

WASHINGTON The head of the World Bank says for the first time in human history, it is possible to end poverty around the world. Jim Yong Kim told a Washington audience Tuesday, he wants to make ending world poverty by 2030 a top goal for the bank and governments around the world.

World Bank President Jim Yong Kim says that the problems of poverty, hunger and inequality are wide, urgent and a matter of survival of millions.

“We know that despite the great successes of the last decade, there are still about 1.3 billion people living in extreme poverty, 870 million who go hungry every day, and 6.9 million children under five dying every year,” he said.

But Kim told a Washington audience that the previous successful efforts to cut the number of people living in extreme poverty by half give them hope.

“We are at an auspicious moment in history, when the successes of past decades and an increasingly favourable economic outlook combine to give developing countries a chance－for the first time ever－to end extreme poverty within a generation,” he said in a speech at Georgetown University. “Our duty now must be to ensure that these favourable circumstances are matched with deliberate decisions to realize this historic opportunity.”

Kim says success will require increasing the speed of economic growth, particularly in South Africa and South Asia.

But he warned that civil unrest could happen if economic growth does not help people at all income levels, and also include women and youth．

Kim says that the World Bank and other development agencies will have more resources to get this job done right. “Meeting this 2030 goal will take extraordinary effort,” he said.

However, Kim warned that all the progress in fighting poverty could be destroyed by climate disasters unless the nations of the world do more to prevent climate change.

1.In the opinion of Jim Yong Kim, world poverty _____．

A. is difficult but hopeful to end by 2030

B. exists only in Africa and Asia

C. is not quite hard to end by 2030

D. will be sure to disappear by 2030

2.Which of the following gives Jim Yong Kim the hope to end world poverty?

A.Economic growth is increasing in developing countries．

B.Great successes have been achieved in science and technology．

C.A decreasing number of people are living in poverty．

D.All countries have started to fight poverty．

3.The underlined word "auspicious" in Paragraph 5 most probably means "_____"．

A. unforgettable B. lucky

C. disappearing D. important

4.What’s the passage mainly about?

A.The key of ending world poverty is preventing climate change.

B.A top goal－ending world poverty will possibly be achieved by 2030.

C.The success of ending poverty－economic growth.

D.The progress in fighting poverty.
