【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 015,ORGANIZE,an online organ donor program asked people to “Give with your Heart”,by being registered donors. Thousands of Americans listen to the cry for help, resulting in one of the largest digital donor drives in US history. That same year, the Cleveland Library and the Pratt Library in Baltimore peted to see who could encourage more donations. While the Pratt Library won with a $41,000 acquisition, the Cleveland Library was able to raise a fairly large amount for its programs as well. In 2016, the University of Michigan encouraged students and friends to donate to hourly challenges. They raised an amazing $ million! The university hopes to recreate the magic this year, with a virtual celebration to mark the institution39。s 200th anniversary. Giving Tuesday is not just a US phenomenon, but a global movement. In 2016, 98 countries participated in the event, raising $177 million, a 44% increase over 2015, when 71 nations collected $ million. These numbers can only increase as the day gains further recognition. Though donating funds is a great way to help, there are numerous other ways to support your local munity. You can give back by volunteering at a nearby nonprofit or food bank. Social media experts can do their share by spreading the information and inspiring their colleagues to get involved.

Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early 1990s for more than 7,600 children of 55 schools in America. They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were randomly divided into two groups。 half took part in the intervention, which included a teacherled curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in selfcontrol and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪), arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood. In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outes was due to the social and selfregulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11. The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(情緒的) intelligence. Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the longterm consequences when they make a decision. Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers. To the extent we can improve those skills, we can improve outes in delinquency.（1）Fast Track was intended for children who .
