There are millions of charities in the UK. In fact, you can hardly think of any good business that doesn’t have a charity linked (联系的) to it.
The British people are so generous with charities. A lot of people are quite prepared to donate money to charities, even when they are short of money themselves. There are many reasons why people give money to charities. Sometimes it’s a personal reason, say their parents died of cancer so they give money to cancer research, or of a religious reason. Many religions (宗教) encourage their followers to donate a part of their income (收入) to the poor. Many religious people feel it is their duty to help others as part of their faith (信仰). Still, other people just give donations because they have some spare money and they think it is a good thing to do.
Many people think it is necessary to give donations to charities because they wish to make the lives and situations of those in need better.
The British government has made it quite easy for people to give money to charity as you can pay through your payroll (工资单). So when you get your salary, you automatically (自动地) get some money taken out and give it to charity. Some people have some money taken out to give to charities, such as Save the Children Fund, thinking it is a good way to save children around the world.
33.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 mean
A.The UK. B.The religion. C.A business. D.A charity.
34.According to Paragraph 2, the number of reasons why the British people are generous with charities is _______.
A.two B.three C.four D.five
35.The passage is mainly about ______.
A.charities in the UK

C.the generous and kind people in the UK
D.the relationship between the British government and charities

What would you do if you felt anxious(焦虑的) Would you feel better if someone else could share his or her experiences with you In the United States, two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called “Healing(治愈)Hearts” to help people deal with anxiety.
The idea of creating the camp came from Dinah Martinez, 17, and her schoolmate Janet Martinez, 18. Both girls suffered from anxiety.
Dinah Martinez always did well in school. “But then I just started to collapse(崩溃),” Dinah Martinez said. She stopped talking to her friends, stopped going to school for three weeks and stayed at home.
Janet Martinez was anxious in elementary school. Things got even worse in junior high. “It was a lot of pressure(压力)I put on myself. I would wake up in the morning and it was like my heart was racing,” she said.
The girls’ camp idea got support from Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) in the US. The organization awarded them $ 5,000 to put on the camp for other teenage girls.
“The ‘Healing Hearts’ camp was created to help deal with anxiety, especially with girls in high school because that’s when they are the most vulnerable(脆弱的),”Janet Martinez said.
On the first day of the camp, 10 girls were there. Experts at the camp talked about anxiety. They helped girls who were experiencing anxiety. The girls learned how to calm themselves when they are anxious. They learned about calming methods like deep breathing and guided mediation(调节).
“It’s good to know that someone else is going through the same thing as me and we can both help each other out,” Dinah Martinez said.
