Each nation has many good people who help take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages(孤儿院) or homes for the aged(老人). They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them or listen to their problems. Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair houses, do shopping and mow(割草) their lawns(草坪). For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to basketball games or on fishing trips and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

Some cities have a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts(手艺). Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.

Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help bring happiness to others.

Managing(管理) money is an important skill for adults. But a group of middle school students in the US have had some early lessons.On Sept 23, eighth-graders from Honey Creek Middle School in Michigan, US, had an eye opening experience called Let’s Get Real. The event aimed to help students use money properly.

“I didn’t know it costs so much money just in a month,” said Douglas Dillon, one of the students. Like other students, Dillon acted as a 28-year-old adult with a job and family. He chose to be an engineer. He could earn $5,000 (30,600 yuan) per month. But after he spent his income on essentials (必需品), including housing, taxes (税), transportation, childcare and entertainment (娱乐活动), he only had $347 left. “I really should spend it carefully and not waste it,” said Dillon.

Meanwhile,Braxton Scamihorn,another student from Honey Creek learned a greater appreciation (感激) for his parents and what it takes to pay the bills. The 14-year-old found that “kids cost a lot of money” when he learned that childcare for three children would cost $900 a month.

“It is just a necessary lesson on problems that the teens are going to face when they are about 28 years old,” said Peggy Murdoch, one of the organizers. They hoped the students learned about real life budget (预算) decisions and had more respect for their parents.
