22、Dear Strangers,
I remember you. Ten months ago, when my cellphone rang, you were walking into Whole Foods to do your grocery shopping. My brother was on the other end of the line, telling me my father’s death.
After I hung up, I started to cry as my whole body trembled（发抖）. Overwhelmed with emotions, I fell to the floor, my knees bending under the weight of what I had just learned. You could have kept on walking, ignoring my cries. Instead, you came over and comforted me.
One of you asked for my phone and who you should call. I could hear your words as you tried to reach my husband, leaving an urgent message. I could hear you discuss who would drive me home. You didn’t even know one another, but it didn’t seem to matter.
I told you that I had a friend, Pam, who worked at Whole Foods and one of you went in search of her. I remember the relief I felt at seeing her face, familiar and warm. She took me to the back and brought comfort to me until my husband could get to me. One of you sent back a gift card to Whole Foods, which helped to feed（喂养）my family, when the idea of cooking was so far beyond my emotional reach, which lasted for days.
I’ve never seen you since then. Without you, I might have simply gotten in the car and tried to drive myself home. Terrible things would have happened. Your kindness to help a stranger in need has stayed with me until now. And no matter how many times my mind takes me back to that horrible life-changing moment, it’s not all darkness. You may not remember me. But I’ll never forget you.
Yours,
Deborah

23、When everything goes wrong, always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left. 【1】
Pain is part of growing.
【2】 That’s a good thing because we often won’t move unless life forces us to. When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose. Remember that there are two kinds of pain: pain that hurts and pain that changes you. When you roll with life, instead of resisting it, both kinds help you grow.
【3】
Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light – you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever.
Complaining changes nothing.
Those who complain the most, accomplish the least. 【4】 It’s not over if you’ve lost; it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it. If you believe in something, keep trying. Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future.
The best thing you can do is to keep going.
Don’t be afraid to get back up -- to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again. Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart. Life’s best lessons are often learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes. There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. 【5】
A．And even if you fall short, keep going.
B．Everything in life is temporary.
C．Here are a few tips to inspire you when you need it most.
D．Your scars are symbols of your strength.
E．When you feel like quitting, remember that sometimes things can be right eventually.
F．It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
G．Sometimes life closes doors because it’s time to move forward.
24、Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street Youth
Introduction
Although small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to youth living on the street or in difficult circumstances. Over the past years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America 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 Partnerships
S.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 Learned
The following lessons have emerged from the programs that S.K.I. and partner organizations have created.
● It’s 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.
【1】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 children
【2】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 children
【3】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.
