Forget slide shows or annual reports. Charitable organizations are finding that field visits are far more effective marketing tools for deep-pocket donors looking for new experiences. The invitation—only travel programs allow donors, who typically don't mind paying their own way, to see firsthand what their money can accomplish. Such field trips—whether to AIDS orphanages in China, famine-relief programs in Sudan or earthquake-proof building sites in Indonesia—almost always result in increased awareness and bigger checks. Some donors become more active in the aid organization—Brewer now chairs ApproTEC's boardd—or throw fund-raising parties. "Lifetime passionate supporters means first they fall in love with the people and places that they meet," says Sherry Villanueva, Who started organizing trips two years ago as a board member of Direct Relief International, which supplies medical and financial aid to locally run health programs. "We're not sitting around on a fancy deck somewhere with waiters in white gloves."
Indeed, donor trips tend to mix fun with the fund-raising. Miracle Comers of the World, which provides small-business training and housing for young adults in Tanzania, will host its first donor trip in August, with a safari in addition to the ribbon—cutting ceremony at its new housing project. Last month, the London-based International Childcare Trust cycled 300 kilometers in southern India to raise money for children orphaned by the tsunami. The Philanthropy Workshop, a program cosponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation that acts as a boot camp for new donors, recently sent 14 participants to Uganda for a week to look at innovative school reform. for girls and sustainable farming—as well as some gorillas in the bush.
While some critics argue that charities should focus on honing their mission statements instead of organizing adventure trips, others say only a field visit can change a donor's view of the world. "I had a lot of ideas of how to fix Africa before I went over—and all of them were wrong," says Brewer. "I felt very humbled." Roderic Mast, the founder of Conservation International's donor travel program, CI-Sojourns, which enables top supporters to investigate endangered ecosystems around the globe, says he owes the rise in million-dollar-plus contributions to the growing popularity of his nature trips, up from three in 2000 to 13 this year. On one recent trip, Mast recalls how he left a donor and his wife on a beach in Michoacan, Mexico, at night to watch a nesting sea turtle. At breakfast the next morning, they marveled over how the mother gently covered her eggs and then spread sand over a wide area to obscure their location. "The experience was so moving, he cried," says Mast, a marine biologist, of the donor. "No amount of direct mail is ever going to achieve that."
What does the author want to tell us from the example of Jeffrey Brewer, the philanthropist?

The Bosses Speak
Adam Rogers is an executive recruitment specialist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief' Executives.
Each top manager -- none of them famous names, surprisingly -- is .given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book from cover to cover. For a management book it isn't expensive, although whether it's good value for money is doubtful.
Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked their way up. Some are fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, strangely, Rogers doesn't seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Rogers's book.
I have to say that Rogers's approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I don't know whether to accept any of his opinions.
It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the ease. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses I've seen definitely do not have. So in the end I'm no wiser about what really goes on.
Perhaps I'm being unfair. As long as you don't think about whether you'd like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to their present position. Rogers seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited. Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good entertainment.
The reviewer suggests that one advantage of the book is that
A．it is better value than other management books.
B．it does not need to be read right through.
C．it is about well-known people.
第5题
One reason people code switch is to show social closeness. Imagine that two women meet at a party in New York. Gabriela is Brazilian, and Pamela is British. In their conversation, Pamela asks.
Pamela: Where are you from?
Gabriela: Rio.
Pamela: Really? Uma cidade muito bonita [A beautiful city] I was there last year.
Gabriela: Oh, do you speak Portuguese?
Pamela: Um pouco [only a little]…
Here, Pamela uses a little Portuguese in order to show closeness or friendliness to Gabriela.
On the other hand, people also code switch to create social distance. Sometimes this happens in immigrant homes in the United States where the children can speak English, but the parents understand only the language of their native country. Children can code switch to keep their parents from understanding everything they say. Likewise, parents may code switch when they share a language that their children do not understand.
One final reason that people code switch is lack of knowledge about a language or lack of attention to one's language. Imagine a teenage girl living in a Latino community in Los Angeles. Talking with her friends, she says. "Esperate [Wait a minute] What did you just say?" It is possible that the teenager was not trying to show social closeness or distance. Perhaps she didn't know how to express the second idea in Spanish. Most likely, she may simply have switched to English without paying much attention to which language she was using.
Code switching occurs between people who share more than one common language; however, it can also occur between people who share a language and a dialect, or variation, of that language. A person may use one dialect at home and then switch to another dialect at school or work. One example is the way teenagers use slang when talking to their friends. For instance, a teen might say to his friend, "Gotta bounce. Me 'n' the crew're goin' shoppin' for some mad phat gear." Gotta bounce means "I have to leave". "The crew" means "my friends" and "mad phat gear" means "nice clothes". Therefore, the teen is saying, "I'm going shopping with friends". But only speakers of both English and this teen dialect can understand. Teens use their dialect because it helps them to show that they fit in with their friends. It also shows that they are separate from their parents.
Regardless of the situation, there are two important rules for code switching. First, the speakers have to know both languages or dialects—at least well enough to follow the changes. More importantly, the switches have to be grammatical. For example, the sentence "Tengo que do my homework" follows the "subject+verb+object" grammar rules in both Spanish and English.
One day you may be riding on a train, listening to the people next to you having a conversation. If you can understand only 50 percent of what they are saying, perhaps they are code switching—to show each other closeness, or perhaps to stop you from listening in on their conversation!
What is this passage mainly about?
A．Showing closeness between speakers.
B．Hiding your ideas from other people.
C．Learning a new or foreign language.
D．Switching between languages.
