In October 2012, I joined an organization (组织) to volunteer to work in Thailand. When I arrived there, I thought I would go to an orphanage (孤儿院). However, I was told that I had to go to a place by train alone. And then I knew that my job was to teach English in a school instead of working at an orphanage.

The next day, I went to the school and met the kids I would teach. In the classroom, the kids looked at me, saying nothing. No one could speak English. But from their eyes, I knew they were nervous to learn English. It seemed like a difficult task for me, but that was just what I wanted.

Although I loved the kids and the challenge, my life in Thailand was quite hard at first. I was alone and I could talk to nobody. However, I didn't give up. Little by little, I learned some Thai (泰语) and started to fall in love with Thailand. Every time I saw the kids' joy of learning English, I was happy and felt that what I was doing was really worth (值得) the hard work.

Now I'm working in a hospital in Thailand. If you also want to be a volunteer like me, don't worry too much about the food or the place where you live. After all, as a volunteer, the most important thing is to help people in need.

5．Where did the writer think she would work at first?

A．In an orphanage. B．In a school.

C．In a hospital. D．At a lonely place.

6．How did the writer feel when she started her job on the first day?

A．She wasn't interested in it at all.

B．She felt her job was very easy.

C．She thought it boring and difficult.

D．She thought it difficult but interesting.

7．Which is the right order of the following things about the writer?

① She worked at a school.     ② She worked in a hospital.

③ She learned some Thai.     ④ She arrived in Thailand.

A．④①②③ B．④①③② C．①④②③ D．①④③②

8．What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．It isn't a good idea to be a volunteer in a strange country.

B．Don't worry about the food and housing conditions.

C．Being a volunteer is great and you should face difficulties bravely.

Do you want to keep healthy? Here are some things you can do.
