In many cities, lots of

have jobs, and they work long hours. So who's taking care of the kids until Mom or Dad gets home? A major benefit of after-school programs is
4
.
They keep children occupied, and

children usually stay out of trouble. Besides,
after-school programs provide educational, cultural, and personal
6
.
In terms of education, research has shown that students who participate in after-school
programs have a better

In after-school programs, young people may find out what they're really

in and decide on a future career. While they're doing a science project or preparing for a dance

There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for
but what they got was only annoyance, grief and misery.
So they
36
Socrates for advice on where happiness
37
. But
38
giving any answers, Socrates asked them to help with building a
39
first. The group of guys had to
40
the task, laying aside their own business of seeking happiness. It took them a long time to cut down a tall tree, gouging out (挖空) the center. Through painstaking effort, they made a canoe out of the tree. They launched the canoe into a river, and then
41
together in it, singing with
42
.
Socrates asked, “My children, do you have happiness now?” They answered in chorus: “We
43
be happier!” Socrates
44
, “That’s it!
45
you are too busy pursuing something to notice anything bitter, happiness will occur.”
From the story I got to know that happiness
46
hides behind every tiny thing that you are involved in, and that you may only get pleasure through
47
work and creativity.
We may have to
48
pain in our daily life and in the process of
49
happiness. Sometimes we tend to look for happiness in
50
things, like a new car, clothes, etc. True long term happiness, however, comes from within our
51
and spirit. So why not turn suffering into
52
life, and
53
tears into the light in your heart? Only in this way can we make it through and find true happiness.
So my dear friends, just remember happiness is a state of mind and a matter of
54
, and I
55
you all a life of happiness.

One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign（競選）finance reform（改革）. The people who are
1
for reform usually want the 2
to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates（候選人）and their 3
can spend.
One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to 4
for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 5
money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 6
so many money raising events.
Another 7
is the fear that candidates will be owned or 8
by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 9
.
On the 10
side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really 11
just because you call something “reform”. They argue that the right to freedom of speech is 12
if the government can limit anyone’s ability to get his or her message out to the people.
If one person or a group of people want to tell the 13
what they think about an issue or candidate, they have to buy14
on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of15
.
Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of 16
or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control 17
discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make 18
