                                                          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(预算). They are grass-root groups who
have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can't get the job done without backup, 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.
                                                                    How do we operate?
     Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are
donated(捐赠) . Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight(贷运) ,we ask transport companies to
donate their services. 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
       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 we 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(提供) them.
       ·  Clothing Categorization
       ·  Sewing
       ·  Toy Categorization
       ·  Furniture Handing
       ·  Book Categorization
       ·  Driving
       ·  Household Goods Categorization
       ·  Office Work
       ·  Electrical Goods Categorization
       ·  Book Keeping
       ·  Stationery Categorization
       ·  Fund-raising
       ·  Medical Categorization
                                                                      Where to find us?
     All volunteer work is done at our warehouse:
     Located in Basement Zone M of the Kai Tak Government Building
     Our warehouse hours:
             Tues. -Sat
             10:00 am-5 :30 pm

     One of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA) has been
that it will bring us some way nearer to "equality of opportunity".
     Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up
the ladder of success for clever children. It wouldn't be good to think that no one who is really
bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. It is obvious, for instance,
that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways.
     Unfortunately, we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do
much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was
possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-to-20-year-old. Half of those soldiers who were
placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.
     It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is
almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old
shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached
16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more
boys than girls stay in education after 16.
     It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early
to benefit from the prizes  money, social respectability, and interesting jobs which higher
education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with
their social background. Their parents often need the extra money another money-earner would
bring in; they don't value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy.
It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather than they tend
to say, "It's up to you."
1. It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children ______.

A. a more enjoyable time at school      
B. the same chances in society
C. the right to a better school        
D. higher scores in intelligence tests

2. People would like to think that ______.
A. equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach university
B. those with the least money get the best education
C. intelligent children are always selected by the system
D. only really clever children do well
3. Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because ______.
A. many of the clever ones leave school early
B. fewer go to university than ever before
C. more than half leave school when they are 16
D. fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16
4. Many children leave school early because ______.
A. their social background makes them unhappy
B. they have to give something to their family' s income
C. their school is a dull and unhappy place
D. their parents don't allow them to make their own decisions
5. This article shows that equal opportunity in education ______.
A. is a thing of the past                  
B. has not yet been achieved
C. is there for those who deserve it    
D. has greatly improved our society
