Li Ruyan, 13 and his classmates in Shanghai did something special last summer. They worked in groups with traffic police at different crossroads in the city. Holding small red flags, the students helped keep order and stopped people from jaywalking(亂穿馬路).
As part of the school project. Li’s school has encouraged its students to do more community(社區)work.
After the half day of exhausting work Li told himself not to jaywalk anymore.
“I think through community work we get to help others and, more importantly, we grow a sense of responsibility(責任感),” he said.
Community service is an important part of education for teenagers around the world. In the US and Canada, high school students need to finish 40 hours of community service before graduation. For those Americans who have finished 1,400 hours of community work, they can be awarded nearly $ 5, 000(33, 000 yuan).
Chinese students today do more community work, too. For example, starting from 2010, Sichuan high school students have been asked to do 10 days of community work. It will become part of their school grade.
Qian Lijun, 16, and her classmates in Suzhou, Jiangsu went to a local elder care home this winter. They put Spring Festival couplets (對聯) on the walls and cheered up the people living there.
Li Xiaotian, 15, of Anshan said he used to clear flyers (小廣告) from telephone poles (電線桿) with his classmates. They brought tools, towels and buckets and worked for three hours under the summer sun. “It was tiring, but seeing the clean poles without ugly ads — we really felt proud,” he said.

“I’ve been writing a book, John. Do you think anyone would be interested in   1   it?” said the old lady.

John took over the papers from her shaking hand and seated her in chair. He remembered her rich    2   in the early days of the Old West. He looked through the papers. “It’s good, Grandma,” he said gently. Then realizing that she    3   hear him, he shouted into her ears, “I think it’s very good. I’ll  4   it to a publisher (出版商).”

Ten days later, he reported that the publisher had had time to read only a few    5  . But he was so impressed (給...留下深刻的好印象) that he had sent $ 100 for an option（版權）. More money would be given as an advance (預付款). Every month John    6   $100 for her with a letter from the publisher telling about the progress of the book.

One morning, three months after her 100^th birthday, Grandma didn’t get up. The doctor told her that she couldn’t    7   more than a few days. She was ready to go, but she first wanted her book to be in print. John promised that she could get it very soon.

Grandma held on until the day the book came into her hands with the title and her name on the cover. Though she couldn’t see it, she could touch it. She proudly traced（找到）her name with her fingers(手指), tears(眼淚) in her eyes. Two hours later, she died peacefully,    8   holding her book.

Her granddaughter took up the book and opened it. “Why, it’s just blank pages!” she cried in    9  . John’s face turned    10  . Then the girl understood. There never was a book. Grandma couldn’t hear the little bell when the typewriter came to the middle of the line. She would keep on working, not knowing the whole sentences and sometimes the paragraphs were missing. John did not tell her, for he couldn’t take away her only hope. It was John himself who had written the letters and sold his car to pay the advance.
