Fifty years ago I married my soldier sweetheart.Six weeks later,he left to fight in Korea.While he was away for that first year of our marriage，I stayed with my mum and worked hard to keep our savings for our first home.After John returned, we found a home and applied for a War Service Home Loan，which at that time took about six months to come through.

The builder of our home lived in the same street as our house and he allowed us to move in and pay rent until our loan came through.The rent was one pound and ten shillings per week，which we thought fair.As we got to know our neighbors，several told us to watch our landlord as he was “sharp” and may cheat us in some way.We always replied that he had given us no cause for complaint.

The loan money came through shortly before Christmas.We were not well-off but we were happy to have our own home.One night，two weeks before Christmas，there was a knock at our door.It was our landlord and his wife.We invited them in and our landlord said，“As you know，your loan has come through and you do not have to pay me rent any more.I did not set that rent，the estate agent(房产代理商)did，and I thought it was a bit high.Every time you paid me I put ten shillings away in a box.It came to 11 pounds.”

We were surprised and delighted.To us，it was a small fortune just in time for Christmas.We were able to buy gifts for our entire family.It was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for us and we decided that we would never judge anyone on hearsay.

ARK(Absolute Return for Kids)works with seven Home-Start centres across the UK to provide understanding，trained volunteers to support problem families.Through this early intervention(干预、介入)we aim to solve child and family problems before they become so intractable that social service intervention is required.

Problem families in the UK often receive too little assistance too late.Low social service capacity(能力)means families often reach breaking point before receiving any support.Social workers have little time to build trust with the family and develop all understanding of specific problems.What is more，social workers can be regarded by families as a threat一“They come to take our children away”.

Parents(with children under five)who suffer from illness，disability，addiction，poverty or other pressures receive visits from a trained volunteer one afternoon a week to support and advise them through period of crisis.Where possible the volunteer comes from a similar background to the people calling for help，or has personal experience of similar problems.

The effectiveness of Home-Start's longstanding programme has been proved by a number of research reports.One study of problem families assisted by Home-Start volunteers found：

·Nearly 40% of surveyed mothers reported reduced depression.

·42% of families reported improvements in managing their children.

·Child behavioral problems reduced by 50%.

Since ARK’s involvement this success has been recognized in the Government’s Green Paper Every Child Matters.The paper recommended enlarging the programme to ensure Home-Start services are available in every community in the UK.The Government has now provided￡5 million to help

Home-Start achieve this goal.

6.The main purpose of ARK’s work with Home-Start is to ______.

A.train volunteers to support problem families

B.build good relationship with the problem families

C.solve child and family problems at the beginning

D.save every problem child in place of social services

7.The underlined word “intractable”(in Paragraph 1)most probably means _____.

A.serious B.particular C.attractive D.sensitive

8.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A.the UK government can usually help problem families in time

B.social workers enjoy high popularity among problem families

C.the volunteers must share the same background with the people needing help

D.social service can’t satisfy the needs of problem families

9.In the UK，Home-Start services are now _______.

A.spread to every corner B.proved to be effective
