Young people and older people don’t always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn phototaking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.
When people live together, rules are necessary. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”
One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only about yourself, You learn to think about the group.”

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They tried their best to learn something and never gave up till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men don’t try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. If they see their weak points and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as(只要) they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on themselves.
【小題1】Why did many men succeed?

A.Because they had good education.
B.Because they wanted very much to become well-known.
C.Because they worked hard.
D.Because their families were very rich.
【小題2】What can a teacher do according to the famous teacher in England?
A.A teacher can make his pupils men of strength and courage.
B.A teacher can make his pupils worthy.
C.A teacher can help his pupils become well-known.
D.A teacher can do nothing.
【小題3】If young people depend on their own efforts, _______________.
A.they are sure to be very famous in the world
B.they can be successful in their lives
C.they no longer need help
D.they are sure to fail
【小題4】What can we learn about the writer from the passage?
A.He thinks highly of those who are working hard to be successful.
B.He thinks highly of parents and teachers.
C.He wants to be a famous scientist.
D.He thinks highly of those who are poor.

It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man isn’t useful to himself and to others. If one is too lazy to work ,he will probably beg (乞討) or steal (偷).So every boy, when he is young, should learn some useful work.

There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and make use of (利用)his time.
