Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers(志愿者) .Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.

Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she is going to university to study Chinese, but now she's living in Belize. Pauline says. "I'm working with other people here to save the coral reefs(珊瑚礁)in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted, the coral will die. I’m helping to do research on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.

"I’m staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don't get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people of Belize and myself! After I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to travel around Belize and Central America.”

1.Do thousands of young people in England start work or go to university soon after they finish school?

2.What will happen to coral if the sea water is very polluted?

3.What is Pauline Jones doing in Belize now?

Old Brown lived in a city. He had no job but he was rich because he was good at stealing(偷). He was never in prison. So none of his neighbors knew that he was a thief.

One day one of his friends went to see him, but he was out. His son, young Brown, came out to meet the man and asked him to have a cup of tea in the sitting room. About half an hour later, old Brown came back.

“Mr. White asked me to give back five hundred dollars to you, Mr. Brown,” said his friend. “Thank you, my friend,” said old Brown.

But to his surprise, the man couldn’t find his wallet. He looked very worried. “What’s wrong, my friend?” asked old Brown. “I can’t find my wallet,” said the man. “But it was in my pocket just now.” “Who was here?” “Only your son” “I see,” said Old Brown. “Don’t worry. I will get it back for you.” Old Brown went out.

Soon he came back with the wallet. His friend was happy and asked, “Did you blame(責(zé)備) your son?” “Please don’t speak loudly,” said old Brown. “My son doesn’t know I took out the wallet from his pocket.”
