Crossroads International

1. 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. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare(福利)center in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.   1 

2. Who do we help?

  2  They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried 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.

3.   3 

Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated.   4   Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.

Those that donate goods and services:

●Factories     ●Manufacturers

●Hospitals     ●Hotels

●Educational Institutions  ●Householders

●Transport Companies   ●Offices

●Other Charities

  5  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．

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

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

    C. What can I do?

    D. The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets．

    E. How do we operate?

    F. All volunteer work is done at our warehouse．

G.. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight （貨運）, we ask transport companies to donate their services．

LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He  36 needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good  37 , so the next day I got ready to go.
I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes  38 , and helped Alex and   39 of the volunteers. There were only three  40 at first, and we figured we might as well get started  41 just waiting for more to arrive. I held the   42 , and suddenly felt extremely shy. I did not  43 asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to   44 those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few,   45 I cannot alone  46 every single cause in the world!
I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause.   47 , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they  48 . I realized that   49 I wasn’t pushy（強求的）, it would be okay, and my conscience could be  50 .
I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms.   51 I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small  52 . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away  53 .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the   54 , and I became a successful fundraiser.
At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and   55 how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I travelled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year,I’ve found the opposite is true.There were millions of cars.However,people still use their bicycles to get around.For many,it’s the easiest and cheappiest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colours---silver,green,red,blue,yellow,whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads,move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started to ride.
My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的).To be safe,I stayed with a “pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my air was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
【小題1】According to the suthour,why are bicycles still popular in China today?

A．Because they are traditinal and safe.
B．Because they are convienent and inexpensive.
C．Because they are colourful and available.
D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.
【小題2】The authour decided to buy a bicycle because he intened ______.
A．to ride for fun
B．to use for transport
C．to experience local culture
D．to improve his riding skills
【小題3】How did the suthour feel about his street crossing?
A．It was boring.
B．It was difficult.
C．It was lively.
D．It was wonderful.
【小題4】Which of the following best describes the authour’s biking experience?
A．The authour enjoyed showing off his biking skill.
B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C．The authour was praised by the other bikers.
D．The authour took great pleatsure in biking.

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. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.

Who do we help?

The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(預(yù)算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried 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(文具) to medical provision, cupboards to dinning 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. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight(貨運)，we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff works on a voluntary basis.

Those that donate goods and services:

·Factories ·Manufacturers ·Hospitals ·Hotels  ·Householders

·Offices  ·Other Charities ·Transport Companies ·Educational Institutions

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?

We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks. 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 accommodate them.

·Clothing categorization ·Sewing ·Toy categorization ·Furniture handling

·Driving ·Book categorization ·Household goods categorization ·Office work

·Electrical goods categorization ·Book keeping ·Fund- raising

·Stationery categorization ·Medical categorization
