Teenagers in the US make donations, too. But they raise money in a different way—they raise money by doing something for others. For example, they sell home-made food or play musical concerts in their neighborhood to raise money.
“Chinese students like to wait for people to donate, or sell things that they buy with their parents‘ money,”says Ge Daoshun, an expert.“While US kids get donations and give people something useful in return.”
Ge says Chinese teenagers should learn to raise money in the US kids‘ ways.“That way, they can show their talents and practice communication. More importantly, they can learn every coin counts(有价值).They have to work hard to get a donation.”

【2011本溪】Passage 4
Imagine one day the water taps(水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to pay a lot of money to buy water from shops. And still there isn‘t enough water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family‘s shower water to use for washing clothes. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that is what kids in Yemen(也门) are experiencing. According to a report, the capital, Sana(萨那),will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the water shortage(短缺),the Yemen government often cuts the water supply(供应).Hannan, an 18-year-old girl, told the Time,“In a good week we‘ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private(私人的) companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can‘t pay for it,”she said.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help
