Section A (10 points)

Directions:

Read the following passage and fill in the chart with suitable words or phrases according to the passage. (Notice: Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each blank)

Children are the future of every country. It is important that we protect this resource no matter what economic background they come from. Special attention should be paid to those in economically unstable situations, especially in the third world countries. It is easy to see these children everywhere from traffic stops, construction sites or even stalls at the outdoor market begging and peddling (叫卖).　 Sometimes one wonders how this is possible.

There are pure economical factors that decide the fate of the children coming from poor families. Poverty forces poor parents to take their children out of school and put them to work, so that a little more money can be earned to support the family. The children of such families are the most unfortunate ones because they are not offered any opportunities to choose what they are doing.

What should we do to help these children, especially those coming from poor families? The first thing that should be done is to help them get a good education. Once this is done, everything will become much easier.　

Education is the key to future success. If the drop-out rate (失学率) continues to increase, it will be bad for the future of our country. So there is an urgent need to set up more education societies that would provide free education and other things like food, clothing and medicine for children from poor families, so that their families don’t feel the burden of their education. Along with education, if some vocational (职业的) training is provided, these children can make a better living after graduation. This way they will be able to use the skills gained during their education better.

We also need to design childhood development and welfare programs exclusively (专有地) for poor children.

This simple way of helping the children by making proper education will help in building a healthy society. Education programs need to be set up with the help of charitable (慈善的) organizations and the effort of the whole society.
