Crossroads International
1. 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(福利)center in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. 1
2. Who do we help?
2 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can’t get the job done without back-up, 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.
3. 3
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated. 4 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
5 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．
| A．One resource that we are always in need of is people． |
| B．So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource． |
| C．What can I do? |
| D．The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets． |
E. How do we operate?
F. All volunteer work is done at our warehouse．
G.. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight （货运）, we ask transport companies to donate their services．

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? .
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.
.If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
.According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “
.”
| A．A healthy body contributes to one’s intelligence. |
