19、king(激动人心的 ) milestone, shed already done a 10-year stretch in the Mississippi State Prison. Ms. Hord is a sweet-natured, gentle-talking, white-haired Southerner who never owed a debt to society thus, she never had to pay one. So you have to wonder what a woman like this is doing in a place where mo
20、st people are itching to get loose. Unlike the rest of the population, Ms. Hord goes to prison freely and eagerly. And when she gets there, she persuades prisoners of every sort to sing little ditties(短歌谣 ) about their ABCs and XYZs. At age 80, Ms. Hord began teaching prisoners to read during a chan
21、ce visit to the State Prison with a lawyer friend. “When I got there, I heard that a group of volunteer workers had been praying for a teacher.

23、roblems. By 12 or 13, they were drinking or using drugs. And its getting worse. Im seeing younger and younger prisoners who know less and less.

28、are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that people without a steady job are in poorer health than jobholders. Why is work good for peoples health?
