7．Crossroads International
How does Crossroads work？
Crossroads is a resource network．We take goods Hong Kong doesn't 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 Hong 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 （預算）．They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it．They can't 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 （捐贈）．Similarly，rather than raising funds for freight （貨運），we ask transport companies to donate their services．Nobody in our organization receives a salary．Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis．
Those that donate goods and services：
●Factories●Manufacturers
●Hospitals●Hotels
●Educational Institutions●Householders
●Transport Companies●Offices
●Other Charities
One 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．If 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●Sewing
●Toy categorization●Furniture handling
●Book categorization●Driving

●Electrical goods categorization●Book keeping

分析 文章講述了Crossroads是一家中介組織，它將捐獻的物品集中起來，免費發(fā)放到需要的福利機構．
解答 68．C細節(jié)理解題． 由廣告第一段"We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena （福利院） in Hong Kong，Mainland China，elsewhere in Asia，Eastern Europe and Africa．"可知，Crossroads是一家中介組織，它將捐獻的物品集中起來，免費發(fā)放到需要的福利機構．故選C．
69．C細節(jié)理解題． 從廣告第4、5段"from computers to high chairs，clothing to books，stationery to medical provision，cupboards to dining sets．"從電腦到高椅，服裝到書籍，文具到醫(yī)療用品，櫥柜到餐廳．可知，本機構不提供淡水和新鮮食品援助．故選C．
70．A段落大意題． 通讀全文就可知道，小冊子的目的在于招收自愿免費為募捐機構工作的人員．故選A．
71．B細節(jié)理解題． 根據(jù)廣告第l、2段"We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena 可以看出，此機構是把捐獻物品送到福利院，而非直接送達受益者本人．故選B．
