Over the past years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin Africa and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S.K. I. and our partner organizations have learned.Background Typically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but a combination of factors: the lack of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home and so on. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative employment, and urban crime.Street Business PartnershipsS.K.I. has worked with partner organizations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn income. The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages. The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society. Street Youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.Lessons LearnedThe following lessons have emerged from the programs that S.K.I. and partner organizations have created. Its important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills. Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shining kits. All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowing money. Generally the rates have been modest.Conclusion There is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs.21. The organization, S.K.I., aims to _. A. give business training and loans to street children B. provide schools and social support for street children C. share the lessons S.K. I. learned to help street children D. draw the attention of the government to street children22. This passage implies that with the help of S. K. I. street children may_. A. reject paid employment B. set up their own business C. leave their families D. employ other children23. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The link of all loans to training programs is important. B. Interest is charged for the loans in all S.K.I. programs. C. The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service provides the participants with free bicycles. D. The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia works with another organization.B Finally,I entered the university. Because of my careful savings,I did not have to work during the school years. Then summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night,instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community college. This class at the community college saved me $650.It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university. During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling,I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out .The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks,but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about!One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost,but the loss of time to make money;however,I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic. Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.24. Where did the writer probably work parttime before attending the university? A. In a restaurant. B. In the tennis camps. C. In a company. D. In the campus admissions office.25. The writer took a class at a community college mainly because_. A. she wanted to save money B. life there was relatively easy C. summer time was tiring D. it was required by the university26. The writers major concern about the trip to Israel was that_. A. her mother would not give her approval B. she would fail to get credits in Israel C. a wellpaid summer job would be lost D. $1,600 couldnt be drawn out in time27. The passage is mainly about how the writer_. A. made money on the college campus B. managed to make full use of her vacation C. was forced to support herself by her mother D. was shaped by working parttime through collegeC Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners,city squares and in suburban supermarkets. In these freeforall libraries,people can grab whatever they want to read,and leave behind anything they want for others. Theres no need to register,no due date,and you can take or give as many as you want.“This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read .It is open for everybody,” Michael Aubermann,one of the organizers of the free book exchange said. The western city s latest public shelf was put up next to Bayenturm. It is the fourth free shelf that Aubermann s group,the Cologne Citizens Foundation,has placed outside.“We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and its been working really well,” said Aubermann. The public bookshelves,which are usually financed by donations and cared for by local volunteer groups,have appeared independently of each other in many cities,suburbs and villages. Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover,with all the old titles replaced by new ones. Even commercial book stores and online book sellers seem to support the idea of free book exchanges.“We see this project rather as a sales promotion than as competition,”said Elmar Muether.“If books are present everywhere,it helps our business,too.” So far,the Cologne book group has had few problems with damage or other problems. Aubermann said,“Propaganda (宣传) is the only kind of literature we do not allow here.” At another bookshelf in the Bayenthal neighborhood,the lower shelves are reserved for childrens literature only.“It is important that we make it easy for everyone to participate in this reading culture on the streetfrom old readers to kids to immigrants,”Aubermann said. While most of the shelves have so far been put up in upscale neighborhoods,Aubermann and the 20 volunteers who help look after the project are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods,where citizens often dont have as much access to literature.28. Which of the following is TRUE about the public bookshelves? A. People can take the books and leave their books at will. B. People can t borrow books unless they donate books. C. People can borrow whatever they like after registering. D. People have to return the books according to the required time.29. According to Aubermann,the public bookshelves_. A. are financed by local volunteers B. have been going well since their birth C. were managed by the local government D. will hold more books and take a shorter turnover30. The underlined phrase “upscale neighborhoods” refers to_. A. communities that have many people B. communities that have many tall buildings C. communities that are free to live in D. communities that are of high grade31. Which might be the best title for the passage? A. Public Reading Becomes Popular Worldwide B. New Trends of Bookshelves in Germany C. Public Bookshelves Spread Across Germany D. Reading Culture on the Street in Europe DGrandparents Answer a Call As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obamas mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. Com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family. “In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough for fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand , a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is”to be near them, especially when youre raising children.” Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.32. Why was Garzas move a success? A. It strengthened her family ties. B. It improved her living conditions. C. It enabled her to make more friends. D. It helped her know more new places.33. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinsons decision? A. 17% expressed their support for it. B. Few people responded sympathetically. C. 83% believed it had a bad influence. D. The majorit
