专题05 阅读理解之说明文及议论文 说明文 1. Sabera Hossain’s passion for helping others is endless. Hossain, a senior at East Meadow High School in New York, has taken part in humanitarian (慈善的) tasks both at home and abroad, from fighting poverty as president of her school’s World Hunger Action Club to teaching English to children in Bangladesh. While in the South Asian country last summer, she spent six weeks volunteering at a school she called “a shack on the banks of a lake”. She provided a group of about 30 students, aged 4 — 8, with homemade educational materials, including cards and game booklets, to help them learn numbers and words. But Hossain’s humane efforts don’t end there. She has also volunteered at senior-living communities and Nassau University Medical Center in New York. She’s even worked with her local Volunteer Ambulance Corps, where she was trained to help give emergency treatment, alongside nursing and medical technicians. “I feel like everyone needs to go out and see what the world has to offer,” Hossain said. “That’s why I’ve done so much; I wanted to explore what I like and don’t like.” You won’t be surprised to know she’s also a star student. Hossain is an AP Scholar with Distinction and earned a score of 1,550 on the SAT. She is also a member of the math team and Pre-Medicine Club. Sabera also earned a membership in the National Academy of Finance, which came after she passed four standardized exams and held a 120-hour internship in the business field. “Sabera is someone who is always looking for a challenge, eager to travel the world, experience new cultures, meet new people and make a difference in the lives of others,” said her teacher, Joanna Silberman. “I can think of no one more mature and ready to begin the next journey of her life.” This year, Hossain will attend college, but she has not decided on a major. She is most looking forward to widening her horizons and finding new things that she likes. Big colleges offer big benefits to students. 1．Wh
