    “Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice．Gifts are easy—they're given after all. Choices can be hard．”

    I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a     boss that I admired very much．I went to my boss and      with him that I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet．He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened     to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really good idea，   it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job．”That logic made some          to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours      making a final decision．Seen in that light，it really was a difficult      ，but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot．I didn’t think I’d regret    and failing．And I suspected I would always be troubled by the decision not to try at a11．After much          ，I took the less     path to follow my dream，and I’m      of that Choice．For all of us，in the end，we are our choices．

Volunteers may help out in local retirement homes, or in hospitals. Some volunteers work with poor people and other volunteers help teach orphaned children to read.
    [3]Volunteering teaches mature thinking. Volunteering gives us a chance to stop complaining about our lives and realize exactly how lucky we are. We are able to see the people who really need the help. Volunteering also teaches more about the quality of being responsible for others and ourselves, the character of giving understanding and showing pity to others in trouble.
    [4]Volunteering gives us a chance to our share of the work of making this society the best it possibly can be. It helps us feel good about ourselves when we can help those who rally need our help. When we can make somebody else feel special, it helps us remember what life is really about.
    [5]There are many places that you can go to try volunteering. Here are a few places for you
    ◆Hospitals—You can go and visit people who are really sick. Sometimes all they need is someone who will talk with them, or someone
    ◆Orphanage—The children living here really need someone to play with them.
    ◆Food shelter—Many food shelters can really use more people willing to just organize the shelters and help distribute the food to those who need it.

    Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21­year­old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
    “I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home'，but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，” says Jacobs.
    The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
    With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
    At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
    “If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won't have an affordable system of higher education，” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
    Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
    小题1:According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?
    A．The twins wasted too much money.
    B．The father was out of work.
    C．Their saving ran out
    D．The family fell apart.
    小题2:How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?
    A．They asked their kids to come home.
    B．They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
    C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part­time jobs.
    D．They got help from the school and the federal government.
    小题3:Financial aid administrators believe that ________.
    A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
    B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
    C．college tuition fees will double soon
    D．America's unemployment will fall
    小题4:．What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
    A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
    B．Their income remained steady in the last decade.
    C．They will try their best to send kids to college.
    D．Their debts will be paid off within 25 years
