A
In 1996, 39 American students started a very interesting project — the Green Tree Project. The students began the project by collecting walnuts(核桃) in autumn. Then the nuts were put under the ground of the school garden in November. In this way, the seeds could be kept cool and wet for several months before they started growing. In February, the seeds were dug up(挖出) so that they could begin to sprout(发芽). Sprouted seeds were kept in refrigerators so that they could be stopped from growing until the time to plant. This helped keep the trees about the same size at planting time. In March, sprouted seeds were planted in paper cups. Each student was asked to plant twelve trees. Then the trees were carefully watered and watched. The first walnut trees began to appear in about a week.The students found this part of the project very exciting. On April 29th, the trees were moved and planted by a lake. It took the students only 90 minutes to plant all the trees. It was so interesting to see a treeless area turn into a forest right before their eyes!

Everyone can do something to make our society better. Being a volunteer is a good way. If you don't know what volunteer work you can do, here are 4 activities.

The volunteering spirit has spread among Chinese people in recent years, especially among young people.
Volunteering is of tremendous(极大的) benefits to both those in need and the society. Take the 5·12 Wenchuan Earthquake as an example. Thousands of volunteers played an active role in Wenchuan quake-hit areas. And they contributed daily necessities(日需品) and offered medical help and psychological(心理的) help to the disaster relief work(救灾工作).
Besides, volunteering would be beneficial to the volunteers themselves. Getting involved in volunteering, volunteers will be exposed to a new environment, and they can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve their interpersonal skills and organizational skills, all of which are critical for their professional growth.
As a college student, I sincerely hope that everyone would join the volunteering work. It is not only good to our society, but also a chance for us to grow and to learn.
