When 24-year-old Hannah Brencher moved to New York after college,she was hit by loneliness. One day she felt so that she want to reach out to someone. And so she put pen to paper and started writing letters-letters to complete .

But these weren’t letters about how she was feeling. There were happy letters,all about the other person,not her. She would write messages for people to have a “ day " and tell strangers how brilliant they were, they thought no one else had noticed. Brencher began dropping the all over New York,in cafes,in library books,in parks and on the subway. It made her letter,knowing that she might be making somebody’s through just a few words. It gave her to focus on. And so,The Word Needs More Love Letters was born.

The movement is all about letters—not emails,but handwritten letters. Not love letters,written to a real beloved,but letters for strangers. They don’t necessarily say “I love you”,but they are . kindness—telling people they are remarkable and 15 and all-round amazing. It’s the sort of stuff that most people don’t really say out loud even to the people they ,let alone a total stranger.

Brencher’s initiative(初衷) has now .There are more than 10,000 people who join in all over the world. Last year,she gave a talk. In it,she talked about a university student who dropped letters around her campus,only to suddenly everyone was writing them and there were love letters hanging from the trees.

It’s a very cute idea. I know that if I was on the end of a letter like that,it almost certainly would put a on my face. So I decided to give it a try and see if I could do the same for someone else.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Every year, it costs British students more and more to attend university. Students are graduating with larger and larger debts. __1.__

In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees. More than 80 percent of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan(貸款)in order to go to university. They use the loan to pay for tuition fees, books and living expenses. The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with debts of around £12,000. Students of medicine usually have debts of more than £20,000. That is a lot of money. It means graduates cannot afford to buy a house for many years. They even struggle to pay rent on a flat, because they have to start paying back the student loan after graduating. If you start to earn over £15,000 a year, the government takes repayments directly from your monthly salary. __2.___

You might think that a British person with a degree will find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in white-collar jobs seem to have a degree these days, so there is a lot of competition. Also, British companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper. Like everyone else, graduates usually have to start at the bottom and work their way up. That can be very frustrating for them, since they are often over-qualified for the work they are doing. __3.___ Therefore, life after university ends up being quite disappointing for a lot of graduates.

__4.__ Even before the credit crisis started, the BBC stated: “The number of British students at UK universities has fallen for the first time in recent history, It looks like the figures will continue to decline, since loan companies are now telling some students that there are no loans available for them.

By contrast, things are now easier for students from other countries coming to study in the UK, since the value of the British pound has fallen. More international students come to Britain each year. The British universities offer more and more of the available places to richer international students rather than poorer British students. __5.__

A. Some British people fear that, one day, there won’t be any university places left for British students at all.

B. Most British students expect to have to get a loan, part-time job or summer job.

C. So is a university degree really worth it?

D. Although the interest on student loans is quite low, it begins as soon as the student receives the loan.

E. Is it any surprise, therefore, that the average British person does not leave their parents’ home until they are 30 years old?

F. All of the above is beginning to make British people question whether a university degree is really worth the money.

G. While at university, they have dreams of getting an exciting, challenging job.

As those with experience know, children with special needs can require extra help during the holidays. 1. Here are some suggestions that may help.

Allow the child to have as much of their routine as possible. A treasured stuffed animal by the child’s side can go a long way towards helping him or her feel centred in the busy holiday rush. A beloved blanket can help a child who feels upset feel secure.

Parents like their children to look good, but remember that sensory issues can cause a child discomfort, which can lead to breakdown. 2. Soft cottons and cottons are comfortable. Avoid nylon and netting. Not all children with special needs have a problem with these, but if yours does, sacrifice fashion for peace of mind for you both.

Limit holiday parties and try to keep to regular bedtime. Have familiar foods available for the child, amid all the other holiday choices. If entertaining at home, help the child go 3. Another alternative is to set out toys in a common area that are okay to share.

4. Crowds and noise can be bad for kids with autism. If you must shop, stick to smaller stores away from the large metropolitan malls.

Consider reducing the amount of presents. Kids don’t care as much as parents do about the number of gifts. For the child with autism, who may have a limited attention span, set him up for success. 5.

The holidays can be a magical time. With a bit of planning, the holidays can be memorable and successful for your child.

A. These are toys no one else can use.

B. Concentrate on the fun of the gifts rather than the quantity.

C. Compromise with clothes that look good, but feel good, too.

D. The more toys you have, the happier they will feel.

E. The lack of routine, novel situations and unexpected guests can throw off their peace.

F. Pay special attention to what your child likes most

G. Try to avoid taking the child for shopping during this time of year.
