More than 95 percent of people in the world have phones today, according to the United Nations. Phone calls and messages help us easily communicate with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive, is bringing back this old habit.

Letters Alive got its idea from a UK program with a similar name. Both shows invite famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.

The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode (集) they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.

“This means that our audiences are not only looking for entertainment（娱乐） like gossip (八卦) and eye-catching games,” reported China Youth Daily.“Cultural values and true feelings are the keys to winning praise.”

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?

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated（复杂）, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

Country music, sometimes called country-west, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.

Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps（军营）in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.

Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada — in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages.
