Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital,a care clinic for the aged and dying patients,during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.
Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially-decorated “careful huts”.They talked with them and gave massages to patients kept in their beds.
“I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up,”said Deng Yetao,20,a third-year student.“But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies.They are afraid of the coming death.Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”
“Even though they are suffering a lot,the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us.Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share.Instead of doing them a favor,I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson,”said Mao Xiaohua,another third-year student.
The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers hearts heavy.
Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic,according to a survey by the hospital.“For people at this stage of their lives,loneliness is even more dreadful than death itself,”said Li Wei,president of the hospital.
Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programme.A total of 330 000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital.Many continue to offer services in their spare time.Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.
Yin Hang,a student from Beijing Medical College,said he felt “the glory of life”as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.

When Xia Min started drinking alcohol with her classmates at a friend’s birthday, she didn’t realize what would happen to her. She drank a lot and fell into a coma (昏迷). The 15year-old girl from Chongqing never recovered.
Xia’s death is warning to other students. A new rule went into effect on January 1, 2006. Teens are not allowed to buy or drink alcohol. Shops are not allowed to sell it to them.

Buckminster Fuller once said, “The minute you choose to do what you really want to do, it’s a different kind of life.” If you want to live abundantly, decide what you really want and figure out a way to do it. Be clear and live with intent.
You may have heard of Fred Lebow. He complained to his doctor that he lacked energy. His doctor advised him to take up running. He fell in love with it! He was 39 years old when he entered his first race.
Fred joined the New York Road Runners Club and organized New York City’s first marathon race. But what Fred truly wanted to do was to bring people together. He believes that anybody should be able to run — people of all ages and of any country.
Not everyone in New York was excited about people running through their neighborhood. A youth gang warned him that nobody had better run through their turf. “That’s great,” Fred said. “I need someone to protect the runners in your area, and you look like just the fellows to do it.” He gave them each a hat, shirt and jacket and that year, when the marathon went through their neighborhood, these young men proudly guarded the runners along their way.
Fred decided what was truly important to him and he found a way to do it. He lived with intent. That single decision made his life remarkably different.
As one sports writer said, “Fate handed him a short race. With his goal, with his love of life, Fred turned it into a marathon.”
Fred would say that it’s not about how long you live, but how you run the race of life.
1. The purpose that Fred Lebow organized New York City’s first marathon race was _____.
A. to be popular with people
B. to display his true love for sports development
C. to drive away his loneliness in the running
D. to get more people together
2. Which word in the passage is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “turf”?

Bored at school now? How do you think it will look in the future? Last week, about 600 teenagers in the U.S. imagined a future changed by technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities (名人)and alien(外星人)languages.
According to a survey published last week by the U.S. ,Internet service provider American Online(AOL), only one in 100 thinks that in the future they will walk from home to school; the rest believe they will use jet packs, and hover boards(滑板) as everyday transport.
All the participants(参与者)of the survey are teenagers born into the Internet age. The study is to show how the first cyber (网络的)generation dream about a future life created by advanced technology.
Most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning. The 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 percent imagine them to be robots. Some 24 percent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have inter-changeable microchips so that one person can teach all subjects.
More than one in two believe hover boarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favorite activity. Another third think jet packs will be popular. Nearly 30 percent think playing football and bike-riding will remain popular.
When it comes to the curriculum(课程), they think future generations will be learning about robot building(63 percent), alien languages(47 percent) celebrities(26 percent) and R’n’B music(22 percent).
Children will wear virtual(虚拟的)reality helmets(头盔) to bring lessons to life, say 40 percent, while over 20 percent believe they will not need lessons because microchips implanted(植入)in their head will send relevant information into the brain. Matt Whyman, adviser to the chief medical officer on youth issues of AOL, said: “ The kids seem very aware of the liberation qualities of technology.”
