Starting out & Understanding ideas
　　【话题导入】
Christmas came early this year for the children living in these low income neighborhoods in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
　　[1]That's because a former resident of the area returned to the streets where he grew up so that he could hand out① more than $ 12，000 worth of toys to the local children earlier this week.
　　Adam Armstrong grew up poor in Harrisonburg. When he was just 18 years old, he was sent to prison to serve a three month sentence② for breaking the law. By the time he was set free③， he knew that it was time to turn his life around.
　　Armstrong, who is now the father of a three year old girl, ended up④ moving to Baltimore and doing different jobs until he finally got into the international business. [2]As Armstrong became more and more economically comfortable, he felt more and more eager to help people living in poverty⑤， so he began donating⑥ toys to local neighborhood every holiday season.
　　This week, the 35 year old man drove to his former neighborhood in a 26 foot moving truck packed⑦ with 1，327 toys to give away⑧ to all of the children. Sara Lewis Weeks, an old neighbor there, said that when Armstrong spoke to her about the gifts last week, she was not sure of his plan. To her surprise, however, Armstrong made good on his promise. “It wasn't like simple animal toys—he was giving away bikes, self controlled cars, real Barbie dolls—not Dollar Store Barbie dolls，” said Lewis Weeks. “He didn't miss anybody. His heart was truly in this.”
　　Armstrong simply told The Washington Post that he was happy to bring joy to little kids for the holiday season.
　　“The kids were so pure and sweet，” Armstrong said. “You can't put a price on looking at these kids' happy faces. Some of them have nothing, and to be able to give them a small toy... the reward⑨ and the pleasure was mine.”

The Age of Majority
　　In most countries, [1]turning① 18 marks② the start of adulthood③.But what does reaching this milestone④， the age of majority, really mean？Will you be completely in charge of⑤ your own life and able to express yourself in new and exciting ways？What new responsibilities will this freedom bring？Here, three young people tell us [2]what turning 18 means, or meant, to them．
[1]“turning 18”为v. ing短语，作主语，谓语动词用了第三人称单数形式。
[2]此处为what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作宾语。
　　Bethany
　　16, Victoria, Australia
　　I can't wait to be 18. One reason is that although I've been working [3]ever since leaving school, I won't be voting in the next general election⑥.Why？Because I still won't be old enough. Surely, if you're old enough to earn a wage⑦ and pay taxes⑧， you should be allowed to have a say⑨ on how the government spends them!
I've also been taking driving lessons, and in fact I will be taking my driving test on the very⑩ day I turn 18. My mum worries about me being behind the wheel .As an ambulance driver, she's seen a lot of car accidents involving teenagers and thinks the legal age for getting a driving licence should be 21. But I think I'm already mature enough to understand [4]that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people．
[3]“ever since leaving school”(＝ever since I left school)在句中作时间状语。
[4]此处为that引导的宾语从句。在该宾语从句中，“driving a car”是　　v. ing短语，作主语。
　　Lin Ning
　　19, Shanghai, China
　　I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university. I expected to feel instantly different, [5]as if I had closed the door on my childhood and stepped into a whole new adult world．But it wasn't like that. When I woke up the next day, there were still [6]rules to obey and lessons to attend ．In fact, the change has been more subtle and gradual [7]than I imagined.
Instead of being the selfish teenager[8]I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility. To give an example , I will be signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow. This was a big decision for me and I made it without asking my parents (although I knew they would approve ) . Turning 18 also changed the way [9]that society
[5]此处为as if引导的方式状语从句，从句使用了虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反的情况。
[6]不定式to obey和to attend作后置定语，分别修饰名词rules和lessons。
[7]此处为than引导的比较状语从句。
[8]此处是省略了关系代词that的限制性定语从句，关系代词在定语从句中作表语。
[9]that引导限制性定语从句，先行词为the way。that可以换成in which，也可省略。
　　Morgan
　　20, Florida, the US
　　People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives, and [10]that we should become more independent. I used to believe this, but the reality for me has been very different. [11]I assumed I'd already have a well paid job and that I'd be moving into a rented apartment as soon as I turned 18, but how wrong I was！My librarian 's salary means that I'll be living at home with my parents for a while longer.
Because I contribute to the household bills and my commute to work is quite expensive, I [12]find it hard to save any money．
I'll be starting a new job next month, however, so maybe things will get easier. I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit on my very own apartment, but I don't feel ready to make that kind of commitment , and I do like my mom's cooking. I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.
[10]此处为that引导的宾语从句，作say的宾语，此处的that通常不能省略。一个动词后接两个或两个以上that引导的宾语从句时，第一个引导词that可以省略，第二个及第二个之后的引导词that通常不可省略。
[11]本句中but连接两个并列分句。第一个分句是主从复合句，I assumed是主句，assumed后接两个that引导的宾语从句，第一个that已省略；第二个宾语从句中，as soon as引导时间状语从句，as soon as意为“一……(就……)”。
[12]it作形式宾语，hard作宾语补足语，不定式短语to save any money为真正的宾语。
参考译文
法定成年年龄
　　在大多数国家，年满18岁就标志着成年了。然而步入成年这个重要阶段到底意味着什么？你会完全掌控自己的生活并能以激动人心的新方式来表情达意吗？这种自由会带来什么新责任？下面三位年轻人向我们讲述了18岁对他们而言意味着什么。
　　贝萨妮
　　16岁，澳大利亚维多利亚州
　　我真想快点儿18岁。一个原因是尽管我离开学校以后就一直在工作，但我还是不能在下一次大选中投票。为什么？因为我还不到年纪。当然，如果到了赚取工资和纳税的年龄，你就应该被允许对政府如何使用它们有发言权。我也在上驾驶课程，实际上，我要在18岁当天参加驾照考试。妈妈对我开车很不放心。作为一名救护车
司机，她见过很多涉及青少年的车祸，并且认为获得驾照的法定年龄应该是21岁。不过，我觉得自己已经足够成熟，明白开车也意味着要对自己和他人的生命负责。
　　林宁
　　19岁，中国上海市
　　刚好在上大学之前，我庆祝了我的18岁生日。我原想着生活马上就会变得不同，就好像我关上了童年的门，进入一个全新的成人世界。但事实并非如此。第二天醒来时，我仍然要遵守规则，仍然要去上课。事实上，变化比我想象的更不明显，也更循序渐进。我不再是过去那个自私的少年，而是开始更加关注他人，更为强烈的
社会责任感也渐生。例如，明天的这个时候，我要签署器官捐献协议。这对我来说是一个重大的决定，我在没有征求父母意见的情况下就做出了这个决定(尽管我知道他们会同意的)。迈入18岁，社会看待我的方式也发生了变化。有家银行联系我，让我办信用卡，这让我感到非常惊讶。当然，我想在金钱方面拥有更多的自由，毫无疑问，我会在将来某一时刻得到一张信用卡，但我目前没有稳定的收入，所以得到信用卡可能会引诱我花更多的钱。
　　摩根
　　20岁，美国佛罗里达州
　　人们常说，18岁标志着生活开启了新篇章，而且我们应该变得更加独立。我曾经也这样认为，但对我来说，现实远非如此。我曾以为自己(18岁时)会拥有一份高薪工作，而且一满18岁就要搬去租住的公寓里，但是我错了！图书馆管理员的工资意味着我还得跟父母同住更长的一段时间。因为我要分担家庭开支，而且上班的通勤费
也相当高，我发现很难存下来钱。不过，下个月我要开始一份新工作了，也许情况会有所好转。我知道我可以得到一笔银行贷款来支付我自己公寓的订金，但是我觉得我还没有准备好做出那种投入，而且我特别喜欢妈妈做的饭。我想有些责任更多地关乎态度，而非年龄。
