For me, this truth was proved by a volunteer experience I had last year. I joined a project called "Brighten the Night" to help children in remote mountain areas who lacked access to electric lights. Before I joined the project, I had never thought about how hard life could be for some children. Many of them lived in houses without electricity, so they had to study by candlelight at night. This not only hurt their eyes but also limited their study time. When I first arrived at the village, I was shocked by the difficult conditions. While we were installing solar lights for the families, I met a 10-year-old girl named Xiao Mei. She told me that she loved reading but could only read for 30 minutes every night because the candle would run out. After we installed the solar light in her house, her eyes lit up with joy. She said she could now read as long as she wanted. By the time we left the village, we had installed solar lights for 50 families. This experience made me realize that we don’t need to do grand things to make a difference. A small help that fits the needs of others can bring great hope. Xiao Mei’s smile has stayed in my heart ever since. It reminds me that everyone has the power to change the world, one small act at a time. Now, I often encourage my friends to join volunteer projects. I hope more people can realize that kindness is contagious and that our small efforts can add up to great changes. 任务一：根据短文内容选择正确答案 1.

Even when she was ill, she never missed a class. Her persistence and love for the children deeply touched me. This story taught me that true kindness requires dedication. We don’t need to do amazing things; what matters is sticking to small acts of love. I decide to learn from her and use my spare time to help others, making my own contribution to the world. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
