Adam Braun set up the organization (组织) Pencils of Promise in 2008. Its goal is to make sure all children can go to school. Now, Pencils of Promise is building a new school somewhere every 90 hours. It has helped more than 22,000 children in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Adam Bruan had this idea of helping poor children go to school when he was a college student. He was visiting India when a boy stopped him and asked for money on the street. Mr. Bruan asked the boy what he would want, if he could have anything in the world.

“I thought the answer was going to be ‘a house’ or ‘a car’ or ‘a boat’. His answer was ‘a pencil’. So I gave him my pencil and he was just happy and excited. His answer made me understand the truth that he had never been to school before, and that was also the real life for 57 million children around the world,” Bruan said.

Adam Bruan started working in finance (金融) after he finished college. But he never forgot the boy and the true life for the poor children.

“We live in a world in which every child should have a chance(机会) to go to school, because we already have everything we need to give them good education. We are able to educate every child. So I decided to help change that world,” Bruan said.

Mr. Bruan collected money for his project. He paid for building the first Pencils of Promise school in Laos five years ago. Since then, his organization has helped pay for more than 200 schools in the countryside of Laos, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Ghana.

1.What is the goal of Pencils of Promise?

2.How many children has Pencil of Promise helped?

3.When did Adam Bruan start to have the idea of helping children?

4.What truth did the boy’s answer tell him?

5.What does this passage mainly talk about?

Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):

As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values(价值)or beliefs. These are Influenced(影响)by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial(金融)experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three kind. They are: the ant, the cricket(蟋蟀) and the snail.(蜗牛)

★ The ant-work first

Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票基金) with low risk

★ The cricket- fun first

The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance (保险).

★The snail------lives under pressure

The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loads（贷款）from the bank in order to buy things such as expensive houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not

sure they can afford((买得起)it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.

Our school has set up a group of “How to deal with the pollution of the river”, and I am in the group. Here is some of my advice on how to carry out the activity.

First, we should do some research to find out why there is so much pollution. We can ask our teachers and some experts for help. We can also find some information on the Internet.

Second, we should work out a report on the serious pollution of the river and hand it to the government. Also, we can show the citizens(市民) our opinions on how to deal with the pollution.

Third, we should set up some small groups to collect the waste in the river during the holidays. We should try to plant trees along the river and put up some posters to tell people not to pollute our environment so that more people can take part in saving the earth actively.

After all these steps, I think the pollution of the river will be less. And we'll learn a lot from these activities at the same time.

How I Turned to Be Optimistic

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents told me that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying, and all the people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio programs for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York, I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried, and things became even more difficult for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad, and saw no end to “hard times”.

My responsibilities (责任) in the family increased a lot because I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters, filled out forms, took my grandparents to the doctor, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives (代表).

From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually (逐渐地) go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

1.Did the writer feel happy when she first knew that her family might soon be leaving for America?

3.What made the writer feel lost for the first two years in New York?

4.Why did the writer's responsibilities in the family increase a lot?
