—She is very__________. She never smiles.

    A woman was collecting money for a church charity. The money she collected was going to be given to poor children who had no parents to take care of them. She went from apartment to apartment and from house to house. She knocked on doors and asked for money. She always said the same thing, "Good morning, I'm collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000." Then she held out a collecting box. Most people put a few coins in the box.

    An artist lived in one of the apartments. He opened the door. "Good morning," she said. "I'm collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000." The artist thought for a moment, then he said, "I'm sorry, but I don't have any money. However, I'll give you a painting. It's worth $ 400." The woman thanked the artist and took the painting away.

    A week later she called on him again. "I'm sorry to trouble you again," she said, "but we still need more money. We need another $100. Can you help?" "Of course," the artist said. "I`ll increase the value of my painting to $500."

    Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighbourhood? If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend (趋势) in Urumqi.

    "You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it's a good way to help others," Lin Tao, a junior student says.

    "I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I'll put them into the donation box," Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

    "That seems like a good idea. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases," Mrs Wang, an old woman says. "Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes."

     Recently, a UTV reporter has made a survey. Here are the results:

    The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.

    Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.

    So there are few clothes in it

    Many clothes are too old and shabby (破烂的) .

    "What's worse," one of the staff in a community added, "we quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box."

    In order to make the donation box work in an efficient (高效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it'll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.
