Crossroads International

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. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.

Who do we help?

The welfare agencies(福利机构) we help do not run on large budgets. They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tri ed 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.

How do we operate?

Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated(捐赠). Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight(货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary(自愿的) basis. Those that donate goods and services:

Factories / Manufacturers / Hospitals/ Hotels / Educational Institutions / Householders / Transport Companies / Offices / Other Charities

One resource that we are always in need of is people. 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.

What can I do?

If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories some of the time. You are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to offer them. Clothing / Sewing / Toy / Furniture handling / Book / Driving / Household goods / Office work / Electrical goods / Book keeping / Medical / Fund-raising

Where to find us?

All volunteer work is done at our warehouse? Located in Basement Zone M of the Kai Tak Government Building

Postal Address:

16 Man Tong, Silvermine Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong

Office details:

Ph: 29849309,27409657

E-mail: 106122. 2524 @https://www.360docs.net/doc/554635907.html,

67Crossroads International is _______.

A. a welfare agency

B. a place to store goods donated

C. an organization to collect goods for those who need them

D. an organization run by the government

68People who are poor can’t get help from the Crossroads if they need _______.

A. furniture

B. computers and dining sets

C. fresh water and food

D. clothes and books

69The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A. call for the staff’s donations

B. call on people to donate more goods

C. let people know what Crossroads International is

D. tell people what Crossroads can provide

70From the passage above, we can conclude that _________.

B. Crossroads doesn’t give goods directly to the people who need them

C. you can do whatever you like if you offer help at Crossroads

D. Crossroads has collected more goods than needed

第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?

At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 71 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.

Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 72 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.

73 .But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.

“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Scien ce and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”

74They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 75 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.

A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.

B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.

C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”

D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.

E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.

F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.

G.. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.

A possible version

The Value of Time

A proverb says: “Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time.

It goes without saying that the time we can use is limited. Therefore, even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things. As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve our country in the future.

But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They spend their precious time smoking, drinking and chatting. They don’t realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.

In a word, we should form the good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow.
