Thousands more are disfigured for life.When you choose a fire, choose safe bum. It gives you the atmosphere of home comfort you are looking for, and sets your mind at rest.Caithness PrideCaithness Pride. The ninth Duke of Caithness would only drink the best whisky. So he built his own private still, in the heart of the Highlands, with the fresh water running in the stream nearby. When we came into possession of the still, we paid the Dukes heirs(后嗣 ) a lot of money for it. But it was worth it. After all, what was good for the Duke is too good to be kept a secret.64.

King would later write that his unexpected call to leadership happened so quickly that I did not have time to think it through. It is likely that if I had, I would have turned down the nomination(提名 ) .Although press reports at the time paid much attention to his public speaking skills, King was actually an unwilling leader of a movement started by others. His later writings and private letters show that he doubted the movement at that time. In the early days of his taking part, King was troubled by telephone threats, disagreement within the black community and Montgomerys get tough policy. Onenight, as he considered ways to move out of the picture without appearing a coward(懦夫) , he began to pray aloud and, at that moment, experienced the presence of the God as I had never experienced him before.He would later admit that when the boycott began, he didnt firmly believe in Gandhian (甘地) principles. Although he had been introduced to those in college, he had remained doubtful. I thought the only way we could solve our problem of segregation(种族隔离 ) was an armed revolution, he recalled.Only after his home was bombed in late jaruary did King reconsider his views on violence. (At the time, he was looking for a gun permit and was protected by armed bodyguards. ) Competing with each other to influence King were two pacifists(和平主义者) : Bayard Rustin and the Rev. Glenn E. Smiley.Rustin was shocked to discover a gun in Kings house, while Smiley told fellow pacifists that Kings home was an arsenal(军火库).By the time the Supreme Court(最高法院) said that the bus company was wrong to separate blacks from whites in November 1956, King had been permanently changed.Living through the real experience of the protest, non-violence became more than a method to which I gave intellectual assent(同意), he would later explain. It became a commitment(约束) to a way of life.After the boycott, King allowed himself to think deeply about his growing fame and his own self doubts. To be honest, Im worried to death, he said. A man who succeeds at 27 has a difficult job ahead. People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the hat for the rest of my life.67. What did King think of his nomination as leader of the Montgomery Boycott?A. He hadnt expected it. B. He had to think about it carefully.C. He would refuse to accept it. D.

We take goods Hong Kong doesnt want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hang Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.Who do we help?The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(预算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They cant get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.How do we operate?Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated (捐赠). Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntarybasis.Those that donate goods and services:Factories ManufacturersHospitals Hotels Educational Institutions Householders Transport Companies OfficesOther CharitiesOne resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.What Can I do?We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks, ff you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories. Some of the time, you are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate(提供)them.Clothing categorization SewingToy categorization Furniture handlingBook categorization DrivingHousehold goods categorization Office workElectrical goods categorization Book keepingStationery categorization Fund-raisingMedical categorizationWhere to find us?All volunteer work is done at our warehouse:Located in Basement Zone M of the Kai Tak Government BuildingOur warehouse hours :Tues-Sat,10am-5 : 30pmPostal Address :16 Man Tong, Silvermine Bay, Lantau Island, Hong KongOffice details :Ph: 2984 9309, 2740 9657Fax: 2984 7452Email: 106122. 2524 CompuServe, corn72.
