In 1996, Zhang began to teach in a middle school in Huaping County, Lijiang, Yunnan. There, she saw many girls drop out of school because their families were poor.

She gives most of her money to the students. Zhang is in poor health, but she is still working hard. She gets up at 5:00 a.m. and is always the first to arrive at school. Three times a day she goes to see how the classes are going. She has made over 1,600 visits to students’ families for the past years. “The things I have done are what many CPC members are doing every day.

But, while a kind act can’t provide you with any calories, it’s not simply a throwaway experience. When someone is surprisingly kind to you—a stranger holds open a door for you, or your coffee is on the house—the act triggers (触发) activity in the nucleus accumbens. It’s an area of the brain often referred to as the pleasure center. In 2021, more than 60,000 participants completed the Kindness Test questionnaire (调查问卷) online. The results showed that carrying out kind acts had benefits for well-being. Whether you’re giving or receiving kindness, you’re likely to feel better. People who regularly volunteer or donate money to charities talk of the warm glow they feel from their good deeds. Of all the kind acts, volunteering provides among the biggest benefits for giver and receiver alike. Studies showed that regular volunteering reduced the risk of dying by around a quarter. Kindness at home has impacts, too. One study of 59 women found that a hug with a partner lowered blood pressure and heart rate. Studies have also shown that simply noticing kindness and feeling gratitude (感谢) has positive impacts on the body, boosting the nervous system’s ability to lower a fast heart rate. Those who keep weekly gratitude journals have been found to enjoy improved measures of well-being. The more often they exercise, the more positive and physically healthier they are than those who don’t. Kindness doesn’t have to involve a lot of time, money or effort. Here are some simple ways you can practice being kinder that take next to no time at all: ·Praise a stranger for something. ·Make a cup of tea for a colleague. ·Buy a small gift for a friend or donate to a charity. ·Text a family member to let them know you love them. ·Send a thank-you email to someone you’ve worked with. Kindness is really important. It builds our empathy (同理心), develops deeper relationships and promotes good heart health. It’s contagious (有感染力的), too. By being kind, you’ll influence the people around you to be kinder, so they’ll also enjoy all the benefits. 1．The phrase “a throwaway experience” in the first paragraph most likely means something that is ________. A．highly memorable and meaningful B．easily forgotten or unimportant C．physically exhausting but rewarding D．expensive but worth the cost 2．What was one of the findings from the 2021 Kindness Test questionnaire? A．Most people prefer receiving kindness over giving it. B．Carrying out kind acts improved participants’ well-being. C．Kindness only benefits the receiver, not the giver. D．Kindness requires a lot of time and money. 3．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Science Behind Kindness and Its Benefits. B．How to Make Friends Through Kind Acts. C．The History of Kindness in Human Society. D．Why Money Can’t Buy Happiness. Passage2 （23-24八年级上·北京西城·期中）“It’s a waste of time,” I said when my mom told me to join Madcaps, a mothers and daughters club that helps the poor. When she told me I had to volunteer (志愿服务) at a homeless shelter (收容所), I thought that things could not get worse. We got there late and walked to the dirty homeless shelter, where we saw a lady shouting at a man. He talked to her and then led us to the kitchen, where we ran into our five fellow (同伴) Madcaps mothers and daughters. Then homeless people started to walk in and a little girl, around five years old, walked up and pointed to the food I was handing out. I handed her a cold sandwich and she nodded to say thanks. She then walked over to her parents, who sat at a large table. As she walked away, I thought about how much I had. I go to one of the top schools in San Diego, I have a great house by the water, and I have a warm meal every night. Then I thought of how little she had. She probably didn’t go to school, and that is where she sleeps and eats every day. That little girl makes me realize just how lucky I am. After that moment, I had a change of heart. Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting. I have little trouble getting along with others and now I have many friends to play and talk with. I believe that if you have an open mind about things, you can learn a lot about yourself and the people in your community (社区). You can make new friends and realize how lucky you are. I believe you can make a difference just by doing something that you don’t want to do. 1．Which word can you describe the homeless shelter? A．Clean. B．Quiet. C．Empty. D．Dirty. 2．What did the writer see in the shelter when she arrived? A．The shelter was full of homeless kids. B．A lady was shouting at a man. C．A little girl was waiting for her sandwich. D．There were only mothers and daughters in the shelter. 3．Comparing with the little girl, the writer realized that ________. A．she was a lucky person B．she should study hard C．she actually had a poor life D．she should take part in more school clubs 4．What happened to the writer after she volunteered at the homeless shelter? A．She didn’t miss anybody from the club. B．She didn’t worry about her life anymore. C．She became more open-minded about life. D．She found it easy to talk with homeless people.

Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question: “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question. The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature. I could not understand what he was doing at first, so I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger. A teacher stopped this awkward (尴尬的) silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents. She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us. I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day. Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School? A．By train. B．By car. C．By bus. D．By taxi. 2．Why did the writer get angry? A．Because a boy held the writer’s hands. B．Because the writer did not like to taste nature. C．Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground. D．Because a boy was impolite to the writer. 3．The boy acted differently from others because ________. A．he was sick B．his parents didn’t like him C．he was nervous and fearful D．he always lived with teachers 4．The underlined word “abandoned” most probably means “________”. A．hurt B．left C．sold D．forgotten 5．From the passage we can learn that the writer ________. A．helped so many people in the world B．played with the lonely boy after lunch C．learned the meaning of community service D．wasn’t good at answering the questions about community service Passage6 （2023八年级下·全国·专题练习） Research has shown that when we volunteer—where we give ourselves and our time to help others—we actually end up benefiting too. Our happiness grows. We feel more satisfied with life. We even have more energy and creativity. Basically, we have more to give. I’ve noticed a pattern with my friends. Sometimes, they get into the habit of gossiping about others. They will constantly complain about their bosses or coworkers. It seems as if they get caught in this loop of complaining, and their frustration distracts them in other parts of their life. When this happens, they become uninterested in new events or become annoyed by their colleagues or things that happen at work. At the same time, I’ve also seen other friends go out of their way to help someone on their team or to help out on a project that had very little—or even nothing—to do with their main work. Although it seems like they won’t receive anything in return, my friends benefit from these interactions. My friends have told me about the stronger relationships they’ve built at work and the fun they’ve had working on new and interesting projects. They’ve told me about how the people they helped before have returned the favor later on. Not only that, but they have even talked about times where their boss recognized them for their work or when they were informed in advance about upcoming projects. We often think that when we help someone else, we aren’t doing anything for ourselves. But we actually often end up getting back just as much as we give. When we step in to help someone, we often turn out to be helping ourselves, as well. 1．Can we benefit from helping others? A．Yes, we can. B．No, we can’t. C．Yes, we can only be happy. D．We don’t know. 2．Complaining about others may make people________. A．be interested in new events B．be uninterested in new events C．be happy with their colleagues D．gossip about others 3．The author’s friends have built strong relationships through________. A．gossiping B．working C．helping others D．complaining 4．What we get back is _________what we give when we help others. A．more than B．less than C．as much as D．no more than 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Helping others is not interesting. B．Helping others is helping yourself. C．Helping others has little benefits. D．Don’t help others.

The parents, Margy and Scott, both work for big companies and usually spend lots of time traveling for their jobs. Their daughter, Katie, is busy with schoolwork. Needless to say, great family time is hard to come by. So, vacations are very important. They can help the family grow together. When Scott didn’t have vacation in 2004, Margy planned a mother-daughter trip that included physical labor (劳动) along with a cultural experience. By searching for international volunteering (志愿服务) chances on the Internet, she found Global Volunteers. Together, Margy and Katie took part in a building project for a high school in Costa Rica. They really loved being part of the tiny local community and part of a team with like-minded people from different countries. Six months later for their Christmas trip, they went back, taking Scott this time. Since then, the Ross family have made seven trips to this community on their two-week family vacation each year. As Margy says, “It’s almost like summer camp for the family.” For Scott, this kind of volunteer work is different because it provides chances to give back and brings personal satisfaction. “You can really see the fruits of your labor—school dining room and community center,” he says. “And one of the advantages is keeping in touch with a certain community; it’s great to see the community become a better place.” There was an especially unforgettable experience for the family one year when they visited their local volunteer leader Roberto, who was badly ill. “Katie and I visited Roberto every day for fifteen minutes. On the last night of our trip, Roberto told us he was thankful because he was making his community such a better place and he could do something great with Global Volunteers,” recalls Margy. Thinking about the experiences, Scott suggests that families do volunteering together on vacations for many reasons. “There are no expensive hotels,” he says, “but it’s a great way to model some great behaviors (行为) for your kids. I never expected this impacted (影响) Katie. She’s now taking two language classes in high school and hoping to learn about international development in college.” 1．What did Margy plan in 2004? 2．Where did Margy and Katie take part in the building project? 3．How long does the Ross family vacation last each year? 4．Why did Roberto feel thankful for his volunteering work? 5．What are the advantages of family volunteering vacations? Passage10 （23-24八年级下·北京海淀·期中） Charlotte Liebling was volunteering at a thrift shop in London, England, in 2016. Thrift shops sell used items like clothes or toys. Often, they donate the money they make to people in need. Liebling noticed that many people dropped off old soft teddy bears, rabbits and other stuffed animals in good condition. Some were sold. But most were thrown away. Liebling loves stuffed animals and she knew these stuffed animals were once special toys for the owners. “I was sad to learn most of them ended up at the garbage,” she said. In 2019, Liebling created a company called Loved Before. It is a soft-toy adoption agency. It cleans up donated stuffies. Then, it resells them online. It charges between 10 to 15 pounds for each stuffed animal. She has donated 50 percent of her profits (利润) to charity. In the past five years, Liebling has collected more than 60,000 stuffies —people can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices. They can also mail them in. Lauren Sergi donated her collection of stuffed toys to Loved Before. “They deserved better than staying in boxes for decades.” she said. The stuffed animals are cleaned with high-temperature steam. Liebling works on 50 to 100 stuffed animals every day. She gets help from three workers and three volunteers. Each stuffie takes between one and five hours to clean up. Donors (捐赠人) are asked to send a brief story about their stuffed animals. The company uses the information to create a life story for the toys. Sometimes, a stuffie comes in without a story. “We’ll pass them over to a school classroom,” Liebling said. “The children will take them on adventures and write the stories. They help teach children the importance of giving something secondhand a second chance.” Liebling has big hopes for each Loved Before toy. “Our second-chance toys are very valuable. It’s because of the love and adventure they’ve already experienced. I love that we can give them a second chance to be loved. Besides, we contribute to environmental sustainability (可持续性) by reducing the waste and showing a new way of recycling.” 1．What do thrift shops sell? 2．How can people give the stuffies to Loved Before? 3．Where will the company pass the stuffies without stories over to? 4．What do you think of the company Loved Before? Why do you think so?

She is a member (成员) of the Communist Party of China (CPC) (中国共产党). On June 29, the 64-year-old won CPC’s top honor (荣誉)—July 1 Medal. She should have it. In 1996, Zhang began to teach in a middle school in Huaping County, Lijiang, Yunnan. There, she saw many girls drop out of school because their families were poor. She was sad and thought it was important for girls to get a higher education. So she had a dream—to build a free high school for girls. In 2007, Zhang went to Beijing for the 17th CPC National Congress (党十七大代表大会). She talked about her dream at the meeting. In 2008, with help from the local government (当地政府), Zhang started her school. During the past 13 years, over 1,800 students in the school have made it to universities. With no child of her own, Zhang lives in a building with her students. She gives most of her money to the students. Zhang is in poor health, but she is still working hard. She gets up at 5:00 a.m. and is always the first to arrive at school. Three times a day she goes to see how the classes are going. She has made over 1,600 visits to students’ families for the past years. “The things I have done are what many CPC members are doing every day.

But, while a kind act can’t provide you with any calories, it’s not simply a throwaway experience. When someone is surprisingly kind to you—a stranger holds open a door for you, or your coffee is on the house—the act triggers (触发) activity in the nucleus accumbens. It’s an area of the brain often referred to as the pleasure center. In 2021, more than 60,000 participants completed the Kindness Test questionnaire (调查问卷) online. The results showed that carrying out kind acts had benefits for well-being. Whether you’re giving or receiving kindness, you’re likely to feel better. People who regularly volunteer or donate money to charities talk of the warm glow they feel from their good deeds. Of all the kind acts, volunteering provides among the biggest benefits for giver and receiver alike. Studies showed that regular volunteering reduced the risk of dying by around a quarter. Kindness at home has impacts, too. One study of 59 women found that a hug with a partner lowered blood pressure and heart rate. Studies have also shown that simply noticing kindness and feeling gratitude (感谢) has positive impacts on the body, boosting the nervous system’s ability to lower a fast heart rate. Those who keep weekly gratitude journals have been found to enjoy improved measures of well-being. The more often they exercise, the more positive and physically healthier they are than those who don’t. Kindness doesn’t have to involve a lot of time, money or effort. Here are some simple ways you can practice being kinder that take next to no time at all: ·Praise a stranger for something. ·Make a cup of tea for a colleague. ·Buy a small gift for a friend or donate to a charity. ·Text a family member to let them know you love them. ·Send a thank-you email to someone you’ve worked with. Kindness is really important. It builds our empathy (同理心), develops deeper relationships and promotes good heart health. It’s contagious (有感染力的), too. By being kind, you’ll influence the people around you to be kinder, so they’ll also enjoy all the benefits. 1．The phrase “a throwaway experience” in the first paragraph most likely means something that is ________. A．highly memorable and meaningful B．easily forgotten or unimportant C．physically exhausting but rewarding D．expensive but worth the cost 2．What was one of the findings from the 2021 Kindness Test questionnaire? A．Most people prefer receiving kindness over giving it. B．Carrying out kind acts improved participants’ well-being. C．Kindness only benefits the receiver, not the giver. D．Kindness requires a lot of time and money. 3．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Science Behind Kindness and Its Benefits. B．How to Make Friends Through Kind Acts. C．The History of Kindness in Human Society. D．Why Money Can’t Buy Happiness. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了善良的重要性，以善良待人，周围的人也会受到感染而变得善良起来。 1．词句猜测题。根据“But, while a kind act can’t provide you with any calories, it’s not simply a throwaway experience.”可知虽然善举不能给你带来任何热量，但它并不是一种可以随意丢弃的经历。“a throwaway experience”意为“一次不重要的经历”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The results showed that carrying out kind acts had benefits for well-being.”可知问卷的结果显示做好事能提高幸福指数。故选B。 3．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，调查问卷显示，做好事能提高幸福指数，并且善意和感激能对身体产生积极影响，选项A“善良背后的科学及其益处。”最合适。故选A。 Passage2 （23-24八年级上·北京西城·期中）“It’s a waste of time,” I said when my mom told me to join Madcaps, a mothers and daughters club that helps the poor. When she told me I had to volunteer (志愿服务) at a homeless shelter (收容所), I thought that things could not get worse. We got there late and walked to the dirty homeless shelter, where we saw a lady shouting at a man. He talked to her and then led us to the kitchen, where we ran into our five fellow (同伴) Madcaps mothers and daughters. Then homeless people started to walk in and a little girl, around five years old, walked up and pointed to the food I was handing out. I handed her a cold sandwich and she nodded to say thanks. She then walked over to her parents, who sat at a large table. As she walked away, I thought about how much I had. I go to one of the top schools in San Diego, I have a great house by the water, and I have a warm meal every night. Then I thought of how little she had.

Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question: “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question. The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature. I could not understand what he was doing at first, so I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger. A teacher stopped this awkward (尴尬的) silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents. She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us. I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.

Our happiness grows. We feel more satisfied with life. We even have more energy and creativity. Basically, we have more to give. I’ve noticed a pattern with my friends. Sometimes, they get into the habit of gossiping about others. They will constantly complain about their bosses or coworkers. It seems as if they get caught in this loop of complaining, and their frustration distracts them in other parts of their life. When this happens, they become uninterested in new events or become annoyed by their colleagues or things that happen at work. At the same time, I’ve also seen other friends go out of their way to help someone on their team or to help out on a project that had very little—or even nothing—to do with their main work. Although it seems like they won’t receive anything in return, my friends benefit from these interactions. My friends have told me about the stronger relationships they’ve built at work and the fun they’ve had working on new and interesting projects. They’ve told me about how the people they helped before have returned the favor later on. Not only that, but they have even talked about times where their boss recognized them for their work or when they were informed in advance about upcoming projects. We often think that when we help someone else, we aren’t doing anything for ourselves. But we actually often end up getting back just as much as we give. When we step in to help someone, we often turn out to be helping ourselves, as well. 1．Can we benefit from helping others? A．Yes, we can. B．No, we can’t. C．Yes, we can only be happy. D．We don’t know. 2．Complaining about others may make people________. A．be interested in new events B．be uninterested in new events C．be happy with their colleagues D．gossip about others 3．The author’s friends have built strong relationships through________. A．gossiping B．working C．helping others D．complaining 4．What we get back is _________what we give when we help others. A．more than B．less than C．as much as D．no more than 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Helping others is not interesting. B．Helping others is helping yourself. C．Helping others has little benefits. D．Don’t help others. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者以其不同朋友们的经历来证实“帮助他人，即在帮助自己”的道理。 1．细节理解题。根据“Research has shown that when we volunteer—where we give ourselves and our time to help others—we actually end up benefiting too.”可知，帮助别人的时候我们也可以从中得到好处。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“It seems as if they get caught in this loop of complaining, and their frustration distracts them in other parts of their life.

The parents, Margy and Scott, both work for big companies and usually spend lots of time traveling for their jobs. Their daughter, Katie, is busy with schoolwork. Needless to say, great family time is hard to come by. So, vacations are very important. They can help the family grow together. When Scott didn’t have vacation in 2004, Margy planned a mother-daughter trip that included physical labor (劳动) along with a cultural experience. By searching for international volunteering (志愿服务) chances on the Internet, she found Global Volunteers. Together, Margy and Katie took part in a building project for a high school in Costa Rica. They really loved being part of the tiny local community and part of a team with like-minded people from different countries. Six months later for their Christmas trip, they went back, taking Scott this time. Since then, the Ross family have made seven trips to this community on their two-week family vacation each year. As Margy says, “It’s almost like summer camp for the family.” For Scott, this kind of volunteer work is different because it provides chances to give back and brings personal satisfaction. “You can really see the fruits of your labor—school dining room and community center,” he says. “And one of the advantages is keeping in touch with a certain community; it’s great to see the community become a better place.” There was an especially unforgettable experience for the family one year when they visited their local volunteer leader Roberto, who was badly ill. “Katie and I visited Roberto every day for fifteen minutes. On the last night of our trip, Roberto told us he was thankful because he was making his community such a better place and he could do something great with Global Volunteers,” recalls Margy. Thinking about the experiences, Scott suggests that families do volunteering together on vacations for many reasons. “There are no expensive hotels,” he says, “but it’s a great way to model some great behaviors (行为) for your kids. I never expected this impacted (影响) Katie. She’s now taking two language classes in high school and hoping to learn about international development in college.” 1．What did Margy plan in 2004? 2．Where did Margy and Katie take part in the building project? 3．How long does the Ross family vacation last each year? 4．Why did Roberto feel thankful for his volunteering work? 5．What are the advantages of family volunteering vacations? 【答案】1．A mother-daughter trip. 2．In Costa Rica. 3．Two weeks. 4．Because he was making his community such a better place and he could do something great with Global Volunteers. 5．It helps the family grow together and makes a difference to the community and the volunteers themselves. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，向我们介绍家庭志愿假期的相关内容。 1．根据“When Scott didn’t have vacation in 2004, Margy planned a mother-daughter trip that included physical labor along with a cultural experience.”可知，2004年，斯科特没有假期，玛姬计划了一次母女之旅，其中包括体力劳动和文化体验。故填A mother-daughter trip. 2．根据“Together, Margy and Katie took part in a building project for a high school in Costa Rica.”可知，玛姬和凯蒂一起参加了哥斯达黎加一所高中的建筑项目。故填In Costa Rica. 3．根据“Since then, the Ross family have made seven trips to this community on their two-week family vacation each year.”可知，从那时起，罗斯一家每年在两周的家庭度假中七次来到这个社区。故填Two weeks. 4．根据“Roberto told us he was thankful because he was making his community such a better place and he could do something great with Global Volunteers”可知，罗伯托告诉我们他很感激，因为他让他的社区变成了一个更好的地方，他可以和全球志愿者一起做一些伟大的事情。故填Because he was making his community such a better place and he could do something great with Global Volunteers. 5．根据“They can help the family grow together.”和“And one of the advantages is keeping in touch with a certain community; it’s great to see the community become a better place.”和“I never expected this impacted Katie.”可知，家庭志愿假期帮助家庭共同成长，并对社区和志愿者本身产生影响。故填It helps the family grow together and makes a difference to the community and the volunteers themselves. Passage10 （23-24八年级下·北京海淀·期中） Charlotte Liebling was volunteering at a thrift shop in London, England, in 2016. Thrift shops sell used items like clothes or toys. Often, they donate the money they make to people in need. Liebling noticed that many people dropped off old soft teddy bears, rabbits and other stuffed animals in good condition. Some were sold. But most were thrown away. Liebling loves stuffed animals and she knew these stuffed animals were once special toys for the owners. “I was sad to learn most of them ended up at the garbage,” she said. In 2019, Liebling created a company called Loved Before. It is a soft-toy adoption agency. It cleans up donated stuffies. Then, it resells them online. It charges between 10 to 15 pounds for each stuffed animal. She has donated 50 percent of her profits (利润) to charity. In the past five years, Liebling has collected more than 60,000 stuffies —people can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices. They can also mail them in. Lauren Sergi donated her collection of stuffed toys to Loved Before. “They deserved better than staying in boxes for decades.” she said. The stuffed animals are cleaned with high-temperature steam. Liebling works on 50 to 100 stuffed animals every day. She gets help from three workers and three volunteers. Each stuffie takes between one and five hours to clean up. Donors (捐赠人) are asked to send a brief story about their stuffed animals. The company uses the information to create a life story for the toys. Sometimes, a stuffie comes in without a story. “We’ll pass them over to a school classroom,” Liebling said. “The children will take them on adventures and write the stories. They help teach children the importance of giving something secondhand a second chance.” Liebling has big hopes for each Loved Before toy. “Our second-chance toys are very valuable. It’s because of the love and adventure they’ve already experienced. I love that we can give them a second chance to be loved. Besides, we contribute to environmental sustainability (可持续性) by reducing the waste and showing a new way of recycling.” 1．What do thrift shops sell? 2．How can people give the stuffies to Loved Before? 3．Where will the company pass the stuffies without stories over to? 4．What do you think of the company Loved Before? Why do you think so? (Give at least 2 reasons) 【答案】1．Used items (like clothes or toys). 2．People can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices or mail them in./By dropping them off at Loved Before’s offices or mailing them in. 3．A school classroom./School classrooms. 4．I think it’s meaningful/helpful because it makes secondhand toys to be loved again and it also donates 50 percent of the profits to charity. I think it’s educational because it teaches children the importance of giving something secondhand a second chance and it also shows a new way to reduce waste. 【导语】本文主要介绍Charlotte Liebling在英国伦敦的一家旧货店做志愿者的经历。 1．根据“Thrift shops sell used items like clothes or toys.”可知，旧货店出售旧物品，如衣服或玩具。故填Used items (like clothes or toys). 2．根据“people can just drop them off at Loved Before’s offices.
