Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl form Manitoba,Canada.One day, when she was five years old,she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg.They saw a man 36     out of a garbage can.She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry.Hannah was very    37   .She couldn't understand why some people had to live their without shelter or enough food.Hannah started to think about how she could 38    ,but,of course,there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决)the problem of homelessness.       

Later ,when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman,    39 an old shopping trolley(购物车)which was piled with    40 . It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 41 to do something.She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 42 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn't 43 as Z bad.

Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces.She hoped to 44her message of hope and awareness.She started the Ladybug Foudation ,an organization aiming at getting rid of bomekssacss. She began to 4 5"Big Bosses" lunches, where she would try to persuade local business Leaders to 46to the cause.She also organized a fundraising(募捐)drive in "Ladybug Jars" to collect everyone`s spare change during "Make Change" month. More recently, the foundation began another 47called National Red Scarf Day-a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada`s 48 and homeless.

There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called "Hannah`s Place",something that Hannah is very 49of. Hannah`s Place is divided into several areas,providing shelter for people when it is so cold that 50outdoors can mean death.In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities,she hasreceived a lot of 51 .

For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award recognizing the 52   of young people to change the world. But 53    all this, Hannah still has the 54    life of a Winnipeg schoolgirl, except that she pays regular visits to homeless people.

Hannah is one of many examples of young people who are making a 55   in the world.You can,too!

Other varieties, 39 , are extremely harmful, and do a great  40  of damage, especially to crops. Locusts (蝗虫) are perhaps the most dangerous of all,  41  they will eat almost any green  42  , and when millions of them  43  on cultivated land(耕地)they soon leave it  44 . In some countries they are the farmer’s  45  enemy. Another nuisance is the common  46  , not only because it  47  us indoors and out - of- doors, but because it spreads diseases.
  Scientists have given much time and  48  to the study of insects. It needs the most careful and  49  observation. Thanks  50  their discoveries we now know almost all 51 is to be known about the habits of these hardworking insects, bees and ants, which live in 52 better planned in some ways than our  53  .

  The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state  36 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have  37  . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without  38  out any necessary fact.
  In writing a letter of application, keep in  39  that the things a possible employer is most 
40  to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 41 the first few sentences fail to  42  the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be  43  at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not  44  your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your  45 in today's paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful  46  of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives  47 your product and why they like it.”
  Try to  48  generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now  49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I  50  in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no  51  has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is  52 .
  It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 53  a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 54  is to enclose(内附)a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it  55  for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he  50  all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was  51  His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an  52  and enclosing(附寄)a 53 .In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mail box.
