 On the 15th of each month, a classroom at Pointers Run Elementary School in Maryland, is packed with volunteers. Students like Campbell Snoddy collect food that_______ by students, parents and teachers from each classroom. Then, the children check to make sure the food isn't too old. After that, they sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior citizens in the community.

   “I wanted to teach my daughter about philanthropy(慈善）．” says Julie Rosenthal. Who started the non-profit program six years ago. “And I wanted to teach other kids in the community, too.”

    Children make their deliveries around the 15th of the month when money from monthly Social Security checks begins to run out and tough decisions between food and other needs have to be made．

"I am on a fixed income and the food has helped me out considerably," says Linda Testerman, a food receiver. "

    "It was really fun, and it was great to make the senior citizens happy," says Campbell. "It was really cool."

    Sofia Merkowitz. another Food on the 15th volunteer, agrees. "I really liked it because it made me feel really good that people were so happy that they got food."

    Rosenthal says that is why she has children do more than fill a bag with donated food.

    "We want the children to have firsthand experience delivering the food to the people so that they can get that feeling of really making a difference in somebody's life, a positive difference."

    The program started with one school delivering 30 bags of groceries. It has grown each year, and now involves 10 schools and several churches. Food on the 15th has delivered more than12,000 bags so far. Rosenthal's goal is to expand Food on the 15th across the country and around the world

　 Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted(走神） by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA, most people have the experience."People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks," says Peter Bergman, the head of the survey. " They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring, so they jump out," he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain’s emotional center. Any strong emotion---quarrels with colleagues, problems at home ---can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.

　 Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, "Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes. Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly." This can "blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus."　　　

　 Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors." Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness," Mr. Bregman says. "You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it."Starting the day with a to-do list is also important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if it's overly ambitious, you will put yourself in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. "Choosing three or four things as your priority(優(yōu)先) for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus," he says.

　　 George Zimmerman's first court appearance before a Florida judge came on Tuesday in connection with the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The case has caused a national debate in the United States about race, self-defense laws and gun control.

　 It was the first time the public had gotten to see and hear from George Zimmerman. The judge said he had found probable cause to move ahead with the case and told Zimmerman he would be formally charged on May 29th.

　 Zimmerman turned himself into authorities on Wednesday night, just before special prosecutor(檢舉人)Angela Corey announced the charge against him.

　 Corey told reporters she would fight for Trayvon Martin.

　 "It’s the victims and justice that we work tirelessly for " Corey said.

　 Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after spotting the teenager in a gated community where Martin's father lives. He told police Martin attacked him during a conflict. The shooting caused a national cry led by Martin's parents who insisted their son was murdered. They also accused Zimmerman of targeting their son because he was black.

　 "We just wanted an arrest and we got it. " Trayvon Martin’s mother Fulton said.

　 Many in Sanford, Florida ---the city where the shooting took place---welcomed the charge.

　 "AII of us were wanting this to move on and get to this process where it is now into the Justice system." one man said.

　 "It was long overdue(遲到的) and I am glad they decided to do something." another said.

　 Police did not initially charge Zimmerman with a crime because of a Florida law that says a person has a right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force. Prosecutor Corey say:“I'm prepared to argue the issue if Zimmerman uses the self-defense law in count".

　 Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman’s lawyer, would not make his plan public, but he said his client(委托人) was worried about the trial.

　 “If found guilty of the second-degree murder charge, Zimmerman could face up to life in prison.", O'Mara said.

　 I'm Rich Kleinfeldt with some financial expressions used in business and the stock market.

　 Our first expression is "in the red." It is another way of saying that a business is losing money. In the past ,numbers in the financial records of a company were written in red ink to show a loss.

A business magazine recently published a report about a television company. The report said the company was still in the red. but was able to cut its loss from the year before.

A profit by a business is written in black numbers. So a company that is "in the black" is making money.

　 Another financial expression is "run on the bank." That is what happens when many people try to withdraw all their money from a bank. A "run on the bank" usually happens when people believe there is danger a bank may fail or close.

Newspaper reports about a banking crisis in Russia used that expression. They said the government acted because of fears that the crisis would cause a run on the banks.

"Day trading" is a system that lets investors trade directly on an electronic market system. It was the first completely computerized stock market. It sells stocks of companies not listed on any stock exchange. Many high technology companies are listed on it.

　　 Day trading companies provide a desk and a computer system to an investor who wants to trade. Individuals must provide fifty thousand dollars or more to the trading company to pay for the stocks they buy. Thousands of other investors do day trading from computers in their homes. A day trader watches stock prices carefully. When he sees a stock rise in price, he uses the computer to buy shares of the stock. If the stock continues to rise in price in the next few minutes, the day trader sells the shares quickly to make a small profit. Then he looks for another stock to buy. If a stock goes down instead of up, he sells it and accepts the loss.

　 The idea is to make a small profit many rimes during the day. Day traders may buy and sell stocks hundreds of times each day.

　 A. If a business is losing money, we can say it is "in the red."

　 B. In the past. numbers in the financial records of a company were written in red ink.
