Where is this passage probably taken from? A. A newspaper. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. An instruction. B Last summer, instead of playing video games all day, I volunteered at "Sunshine Home", a care center for the elderly. At first, I felt a little nervous. I didn’t know what to say or do. My job was simple but important. I helped serve meals, read newspapers to those who had poor eyesight, and most importantly, just talked with them. Many of the old people there felt lonely because their families were busy or lived far away. They loved having someone to talk to. I remember Mr. Li, a 90-year-old man. He taught me how to play Chinese chess and told me stories about his youth. His stories were like history lessons coming to life! I also helped Mrs. Zhang write letters to her granddaughter. That summer, I learned that helping others doesn’t always mean doing something huge. Sometimes, it just means spending time with someone and listening. I received much more than I gave – friendship, wisdom, and the feeling that I had made a real difference in someone’s life. I will never forget that summer. 21.

How to serve meals. 25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Summer vacation should be for playing. B. Volunteering can be a rewarding experience that teaches you about life. C. Old people are boring. D. It’s important to learn Chinese chess. C Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to help people in need. For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jacksons' place did last week, it might be burned down and people might get hurt…or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely. And what about police officers? They protect our families, our homes and important things. The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rain. Think about all the other service workers in this community. There are cleaners to collect rubbish and keep our community sanitary. We have road workers and they put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And what would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals? Think again about what we eat every day and what we wear every day. We cannot produce (生产) them, but we use them all the time. These tireless workers keep our community running. We get a lot from them and need them in the community. We depend on each other. Let's help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place. 26. What happened to the Jacksons last week? A. They couldn't find their pets. B. Their car was badly burned. C. Their house caught fire. D. They couldn't find their keys. 27. Who offered to help after the heavy rain according to the passage? A. Firemen. B. Doctors. C. Road workers. D. Police officers. 28. What does the underlined word "sanitary" mean? A. Clean. B. Safe. C. Quiet. D. Busy. 29. Which question could best help us find out the writer's purpose? A. Did the writer make us laugh? B. Did the writer want us to do something? C. Did the writer tell us about how to become a teacher? D. Did the writer teach us what to do when the house is on fire? 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Police Officers Save People's Lives B. People Depend on Each Other C. Service Workers Do Important Jobs D.

If you're part of it, great. If not, think about volunteering. Volunteering brings lots of benefits. Volunteering means that you work to help people without being paid. Volunteering in your community gives you a chance to give back and the local organization will benefit, too. You'll get a strong feeling of satisfaction and pride when you volunteer your time to help people. Volunteering with friends can make it more enjoyable because you're with people you know and have fun with. Besides, that's really a good chance to develop skills you already have. For example, if you are good at another language, you could offer your skills to help with language learners, improving your skills along the way. Volunteering needs great actions. There are different kinds of ways to volunteer. You could volunteer projects at school, helping with information on future studies or simply helping new students get used to their school life soon. Maybe you could run in a marathon to raise money for an organization which needs extra help. If you don’t have much time, you can even find one-time volunteer opportunities, such as giving out food at a food bank, helping at a library, or cleaning up the city park. Be a volunteer today! 46.
