一、阅读理解

A

Gregory Talley used to sleep in a park or under a bridge. The 50-year-old has been

homeless for more than 10 years.

"It is hard. It's hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find out where you

are going to get something to eat. If I hadn't found wonderful Fairfax County

Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn't know where I would be by now. I might be dead," Talley

said.

The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for

homeless people.

Pam Michell has devoted her life to making the lives of this vulnerable (易受伤的)population better as executive director of the non-profit organization.

"I went to Africa in 1985. And I saw a huge amount of poverty, but I saw so much

hope. And I decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to

people," Michell said.

When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three

shelters had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless

people every year. She has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the

night.

"We do outreach(拓展), we do prevention, we do permanent housing, we do

transitional housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things ********灿若寒星竭诚为您提供优质文档*********

灿若寒星 to move people to end their homelessness," she said,"Our Out of Poverty program is

not just about money. It's about you could be spiritually poor, you could be

relationship poor ... you could be educationally poor. So it is focusing on how you get

out of this poverty that has brought you to being homeless." The program tries to

teach the shelter residents self-reliance (自立) and work values, and includes courses

on planning and personal responsibility.

"l learned I still have opportunities to change it and I can change it," said shelter

resident Lewis Webster. "It is just about going forth in doing necessary work to do it. I

mean if you really want better, you would do better and that's the frame of mind of

me now."

Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. The first job she

considered was the director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews,

she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring

manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the

job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand

the firm's culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company's CEO, who

regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale­building

exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same. “Even though I was

desperate for a job, I knew I couldn't do that，” Isabel says. She called the company

to turn down the job and explained that she didn't feel there was a cultural fit.
