One day, she and her third-grade class read about the Great American Smokeout in Weekly Reader. The Smokeout is an event to help people give up smoking. The American Cancer Society runs it. “We read that about 1 million people give up smoking each year,” said Ms Evans. Then her students asked her, “What does 1 million look like?” Ms Evans told her class the best way to see 1 million was to collect 1 million things. “I was thinking about collecting 1 million small things like erasers,” said the teacher. But her students had a better idea: to collect 1 million pennies (分) and give them to the American Cancer Society. Soon the class started their big job. Many people in the neighbourhood joined the students. Ms Evans said that the bank in their neighbourhood had to keep more pennies because so many people were collecting them. That June, the class went to the office of the American Cancer Society with 1,177,500 pennies, or $11,775. They hoped that the money could help more people keep healthy. 1．What is the Great American Smokeout? A．A school. B．An event. C．A magazine.

It is a great way to spend our free time and help others at the same time. Last Sunday, my classmates and I took part in a volunteer activity in the community. We got there at 8:30 in the morning. First, we cleaned the streets and picked up the rubbish. Some students watered the flowers and trees. Then we visited the old people who lived alone. We talked with them, washed their clothes and cleaned their rooms. An old grandma told us many interesting stories about her life. We also sang songs and danced for them. They smiled happily and praised us again and again. I think volunteering is very meaningful. On the one hand, we can help people in need and make our community more beautiful. On the other hand, we can learn a lot from it. We learn to care about others, to be responsible and to understand the meaning of giving. We also get some useful experience that we can’t learn from textbooks. If you want to be a volunteer, you can join the volunteer club in your school. You can help homeless animals, teach English to poor children, or help clean up the park. No matter what you do, your kindness will make a big difference to others. 1．When did the students do volunteer work? A．Last Saturday. B．Last Sunday. C．Last Friday. D．Last Monday. 2．What did the students NOT do? A．Cleaned the streets. B．Watered the flowers. C．Cooked for the old people.

A．get good grades B．make more money C．learn to care about others D．buy beautiful things 5．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To ask students to join in volunteering. B．To tell a story about old people. C．To show how to clean the community.

Colleen Wall, an artist, paints beautiful murals (壁画) in hospitals to help patients feel better. Her goal is to give them a “window view” of nature, allowing them to imagine being in peaceful, sunny places instead of hospital rooms. Colleen first became interested in this work in 1995 when she had cancer (癌症) herself. After getting better, she decided to help other patients through art. One day, while volunteering at a hospital, she cheerfully told a patient, “It’s such a beautiful day outside!” The patient sadly replied, “It always looks the same from here.” This conversation deeply moved Colleen and inspired her to start her project—“A View for a Room”. She wanted to change hospital rooms by creating paintings that looked like windows to nature. After raising enough money for her project, Colleen created 20 large paintings. Each one shows lovely natural views like forests, beaches, and country roads. The paintings also have encouraging messages like “Stay Strong” and “Hope Heals” to cheer patients up. Doctors say that looking at nature pictures can actually help people feel less pan and get better, making Colleen’s work even more meaningful. Last November, Colleen painted her murals on walls at Roswell Park Cancer Center in New York. “Being in hospital for a long time can make people feel lonely,” Colleen explained. “My paintings help them feel like they’re outside enjoying nature.” Many patients really like the colorful murals which make their rooms brighter and happier. For Colleen, this work is special because she understands what patients are going through. “I want to share the same hope that helped me when I was sick,” she says. 1．Why did Colleen paint murals in hospitals? A．To make hospital walls look more colorful. B．To help doctors work in a better environment. C．To teach people how to paint beautiful art. D．To give patients a feeling of being in nature, 2．What made Colleen start her project “A View for a Room”? A．Her study on mural paintings. B．Her conversation with a patient. C．Her need to raise money for art. D．Her love for painting nature scenes. 3．Which words can best describe Colleen according to the passage? A．Kind and creative. B．Quiet and helpful. C．Outgoing and humorous. D．Talented and honest. 4．What would Colleen do after painting at Roswell Park Cancer Center? A．She would go outside to enjoy nature. B．She might work at a hospital to help doctors. C．She would continue to bring hope to patients by painting. D．She may help people feel no pain and get better through murals. 5．What might be the best title for the passage? A．The Way to Fight Cancer B．Positive Art Messages Help Patients C．A Woman’s Meaningful Work D．Feeling Outside Enjoying Nature 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文核心讲述了艺术家Colleen Wall用壁画为病患带去慰藉的故事。 1．根据原文第一段提到“Colleen Wall, an artist, paints beautiful murals in hospitals to help patients feel better. Her goal is to give them a "window view" of nature, allowing them to imagine being in peaceful, sunny places instead of hospital rooms.”可知，她画壁画是为了给病人一种身处自然的感觉，让病人感觉更好。选项D“To give patients a feeling of being in nature”符合文意。 2．由文中第二段提到“This conversation deeply moved Colleen and inspired her to start her project — ‘A View for a Room’.”可知，是她和一位病人的对话促使她开始这个项目。选项B“Her conversation with a patient.”正确。 3．科琳通过画壁画帮助病人，体现了她的善良（kind）；她想出通过创作看起来像自然窗户的画作来改变医院房间的主意，体现了她的创造力（creative）。所以选项A“Kind and creative.”合适。 4．从文中结尾段提到“For Colleen, this work is special because she understands what patients are going through. ‘I want to share the same hope that helped me when I was sick,’ she says.”以及她一直以来通过绘画帮助病人的行为可推断，她会继续通过绘画给病人带来希望。选项C“She would continue to bring hope to patients by painting.”符合； 5．文章主要讲述了科琳通过在医院画壁画这种积极的艺术方式帮助病人，给病人带来希望和快乐，选项B“Positive Art Messages Help Patients”（积极的艺术信息帮助病人）能很好地概括文章主旨。 Shaine Kilyun is an American high school student. In her free time, Shaine builds wheelchairs for animals in need. So far, she has made wheelchairs for dogs, cats, and a duck. Shaine has always loved animals. She had a dog and two cats. She also volunteered at an animal help center and hospitals. But the animal lover was sad when she learned old and disabled animals were often euthanized (安乐死) because they couldn’t walk and needed special care. One night in December of 2020, a video on the Internet gave her hope. In the video, disabled dogs ran around happily in wheelchairs. From then on, she spent her free time watching videos to learn to make wheelchairs for animals. She also learned from animal doctors. After she made the first one, she tested on her own dog and cats. She tried to cooperate with some factories in order to make more wheelchairs with lower prices. The factories offered (提供) the machines, while Shaine shared her design (设计) of the special wheelchairs. In February of 2021, she was so excited to get her first Thank-you note from an owner of a blind dog—Tobby. The 7-month-old dog had shorter front legs than his back legs. Seeing him run and play in his wheelchair, she felt good and decided to go on.

It is doing something very special. It gives jobs to people who are hearing-impaired—that means they can’t hear well or at all. There are the words “more” and “sound” in the restaurant’s name. It shows its hope to bring more voices into the world. About half of the workers there have difficulty in hearing. A 31-year-old man, Deng Wei, works as the kitchen manager. He makes about 4,000 yuan each month and says he enjoys working in a quiet and friendly place. Shengyousheng is a self-service hot pot restaurant. Customers choose their own food and make their own sauces, so there’s not much need to talk. This makes it easy for hearing-impaired workers to do their jobs. To help with communication, the restaurant uses big posters on the walls. These posters show simple hand signs, like how to say “thank you” by placing one hand near your chin and moving it forward. There are also signs for “food”, “hello”, and “wait for a while”. Next to each picture, there are easy-to-read words, so customers can understand what the hand signs mean. Each table also has cards and pens. Customers can use them to write to the workers if needed. Shengyousheng is not only helping people with hearing problems find jobs, but also showing everyone that kindness, patience, and respect are just as important as words.

Millions of people around the country volunteer every year, and there are lots of ways you can join them, including raising money for charity, helping in your local community garden or park, or even carrying a neighbour’s shopping home. The theme for this year’s Volunteers’ Week is Celebrate and Inspire which highlights all the different people who take part in volunteer activities and the many ways they do volunteer work. ③How is volunteering good for you? According to Susan Albers, a psychologist (an expert in thoughts and feelings), volunteering has been shown to reduce stress and make you feel better about your life. This is because being kind and doing things for other people activate the reward part of the brain and release (释放) feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin (多巴胺和血清素). ________, such as feeling part of a community, making friends and learning skills. ④How can you become a volunteer? There are lots of ways you can volunteer. Albers recommends finding something that is meaningful to you. If you love sports, ask if your club needs help in teaching younger players. If you’re passionate about protecting the environment, organize a clean-up of the beach. You could also ask your local library, community centre or school for volunteering opportunities. Make sure you check with your parents before you start, and see if friends or family want to join in. Albers says, “Involving family or friends can be a great way to boost your mental health. It’s free. It’s an activity that everyone can do. It doesn’t require a lot of skills or time.” 1．Which of the following shows an example of volunteering? ①Daniel helps sort books, reshelve (重新上架) books, and guide readers at the local library. ②Simon sells handicrafts to raise enough money and buy his mother a birthday present. ③Suzy becomes a member of the school club and learns more about different manners. ④Mike and his friends help with sorting garbage and cleaning public areas at the community.

This is great! I know some people who are quick to talk about how they help others. Smiling big, they tell me about the number of volunteer hours. But sometimes I find out that they don’t even know the task (任务) of the group! Although this only happened twice, it really troubled me. So I start to think that maybe this isn’t the best way to think about helping others. ________ It should be more about making your community (社区) better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world. You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you. The best way to fix this is to change what colleges and jobs ask for. Instead of asking “how many hours have you helped”, they should ask “how have you made things better for others”. They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they’ve spent. We, the students, can also help fix this. Try to forget about the hours, because they’re not important. Choose groups you care about and learn about the people you’re helping. Don’t help because you have to but because it’s the right thing to do as a person. Next time you hear a friend talking about how many hours they’ve helped, tell them that numbers don’t change the world. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________”? A．Why don’t you try volunteering? B．Helping others shouldn’t be only about numbers. C．More and more people are helping the community. D．Maybe you know why to help others. 2．What does the underlined word “benefit” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Be interested in. B．Be good for. C．Be bad for. D．Be popular with. 3．Which is NOT a good way for the students to think about? A．Helping because you have to. B．Caring about and choosing a group. C．Learning about the people in need. D．Thinking it’s the right thing to do. 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the number of volunteer hours? A．The writer loves it very much. B．The writer agrees with it strongly. C．The writer is careful about it. D．The writer doesn’t think it is important. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文主要讨论了当前社会在申请大学或工作时过分关注志愿者服务时长的问题，并提出了改进建议。 1．推理判断题。根据下一句“It should be more about making your community (社区) better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world.”可知，帮助他人应该更多地是让社区变得更好，以及学会在世界上成为一个好人意味着什么，此处主要讲述帮助人的意义。选项B“帮助他人不应该仅仅与数字有关。”引起下文，符合语境。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“ You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you.”可知，作者希望人们想着帮助他人，而不是想着对自己有什么好处。这里“benefit”意为“对……有好处”，与“be good for”同义。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Don’t help because you have to but because it’s the right thing to do as a person.”可知，不要因为不得不去帮助他人，而要因为作为一个人这是正确的事情去帮助他人。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Try to forget about the hours, because they’re not important.”和“Next time you hear a friend talking about how many hours they’ve helped, tell them that numbers don’t change the world.”以及全文可知，作者认为志愿者服务时长并不重要。故选D。 People might think that everyone has enough food to eat. However, many families go hungry. Rebecca, a little American girl, knew what it was like to be hungry. Her father had an accident. He could not work. Rebecca’s mother had a job. But the family still lived a hard life. They didn’t even have enough food to eat. Rebecca’s mother tried many things. She didn’t eat very much in order to save enough food. She even didn’t go to the doctor when she was ill. What’s more, she sadly sold some old family jewelry (珠宝). They were special to her. But she wanted to buy food for her children. One day a friend told them about the local food bank. Rebecca’s family got food there. It helped them a lot. Rebecca’s mother was very thankful for the food bank. There were many different foods on the shelves at the food bank, such as milk, vegetables and fruits. It looked like a real supermarket! Rebecca’s mother filled out a form. A nice volunteer showed her how to get the food. She got the food her family needed. The volunteer treated the family with respect (尊敬). Rebecca liked going there.

They were special to her.”可知，前文提到丽贝卡的母亲卖掉了家里的旧珠宝，后文“它们对她来说很特别”中的“它们”指代前文提到的珠宝。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Rebecca’s mother filled out a form. A nice volunteer showed her how to get the food. She got the food her family needed.”可知，填写表格后可以在食物银行领取所需食物。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章围绕丽贝卡一家的困境展开，重点讲述了食物银行如何帮助他们，且结尾提到“Her family wants to help others at the food bank”，暗示食物银行也帮助了类似家庭。故选D。 Imagine you’re hiking in the mountains and a heavy rain starts. You lose your way and the situation becomes unsafe. At this time, the Blue Sky Rescue Team could be your hope—a group of professionally (专业地) trained team members is ready to save you. This great group started in the early 2000s when outdoor activities got popular in China. At that time, a growing number of climbers got lost or hurt in the mountains. However, there weren’t enough professional rescuers available to help—that’s why the Blue Sky Rescue Team started. Offering free rescue services, the team has saved lots of lives over the years. Usually, they can help to look for missing people, save people who fall into the river or move injured (受伤的) people to a safe place. Whether people are in cities or in the mountains, they can call this team for help. However, if the situation is too serious, like in an air crash, the team is unable to help. If you want to be a member, here are some things you must do: ·Have a job. ·Complete more than 100 hours of practice and pass tests. ·Volunteer at least 200 hours every year. From a small mountain rescue group to a famous life­saving team, it shows us that strong teamwork can help people do wonderful things! They give hope to a lot of people! 1．Why did the team start at first? A．To get popular in China. B．To save people in rainstorms. C．To save lost or hurt climbers. D．To join in professional activities. 2．In which sentence can you put the word “rescue” in Paragraph 3? A．I get better grades through my dad’s ________. B．My friends need a ________ for the coming party. C．The kid in the fire received a ________ from firefighters in time. D．The volunteers used a small boat to ________ the river. 3．What do you know about the Blue Sky Rescue Team according to the passage? A．It is difficult to be a member of the team. B．It can save people from all kinds of unsafe situations. C．It’s a professional rescue team for mountain climbers only. D．It’s necessary to volunteer at least 300 hours every year. 4．Why does the writer write the article? A．To teach us how to ask the Blue Sky Rescue Team for help. B．To show us some facts about the Blue Sky Rescue Team. C．To advise us to be volunteers of the Blue Sky Rescue Team. D．To tell us how to set up a team like the Blue Sky Rescue Team. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了蓝天救援队的成立背景、作用、加入条件以及其在救援行动中的重要性。 1． 细节理解题。根据“At that time, a growing number of climbers got lost or hurt in the mountains. However, there weren’t enough professional rescuers available to help—that’s why the Blue Sky Rescue Team started.”可知，开始是为了救在山里迷路或者受伤的登山者，故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“Offering free rescue services, the team saved lots of lives over the years.”可知，该队提供免费的救援服务，多年来拯救了许多人的生命。所以划线单词的“rescue”意为“救援”，C选项“火灾中的那个小孩及时从消防队员那里得到了救援”表达正确。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“If you want to be a member, here are some things you must do: ·Have a job. ·Complete more than 100 hours of practice and pass tests. ·Volunteer at least 200 hours every year.”可知，想成为蓝天救援队的会员，需要做很多事情，推断成为救援队的会员很难。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“From a small mountain rescue group to a famous lifesaving team, it shows us that strong teamwork can help people do wonderful things!”以及全文可知，作者的目的是向我们展示蓝天救援队的一些事实。故选B。 Plastic pollution has become a serious problem in coastal (沿海的) cities.

A car suddenly appeared and rushed past her. Luckily, she was not hurt, but the car came “very, very close,” Patricia said. Patricia and her grandson, William, often walk together on Estrella Parkway. However, there were lots of cars racing on that road. When William went to visit Patricia that evening, she told him what happened. After William heard Patricia was nearly hit by a car, he thought it was time to do something to fix that. In January 2024, William decided to go to the city council (市议会) hall. The council meetings are open to the public. When it was his turn to speak, William stood up and spoke about the problem of car racing on Estrella Parkway. “It’s very dangerous,” he said, “I wonder if you have any way to solve it.” In fact, the local government already planned to install (安装) traffic lights on Estrella Parkway. After William gave the speech at the meeting, it brought more attention to the need for safer roads. About six months after the council meeting, a new traffic light was put up and began working. Stories about William’s efforts also appeared on the local news and national TV. People were all encouraged by his speech. William also received a city award for his efforts to improve the local community. “After that happened, I felt like I could do anything.” William said. “I’m not sure what community problems to solve next,” he added, “I’ll keep exploring.” For now, William is happy with the changes on Estrella Parkway. “You don’t see cars racing each other to the end of the road and it feels much safer,” he said. 1．What happened when Patricia was walking on Estrella Parkway?

A car suddenly appeared and rushed past her.”可知，帕特里夏在埃斯特雷拉公园大道散步时，一辆汽车突然出现并快速从她身边驶过。 2．根据第二段第四句“After William heard Patricia was nearly hit by a car, he thought it was time to do something to fix that.”可知，威廉听说帕特里夏差点被车撞了，他觉得是时候做点什么了，这里的fix表示解决 （汽车竞速带来的问题）。“Joe tried to fix the problems in his report.”中“fix”表示解决 （报告中的问题），与文中“fix”意思相近。 3．根据第四段第二句“After William gave the speech at the meeting, it brought more attention to the need for safer roads.”可知，威廉的演讲让更多人关注到道路安全的需求。 4．根据全文内容，威廉在得知帕特里夏的遭遇后，勇敢地在市议会会议上指出埃斯特雷拉公园大道上汽车竞速的问题，从而引起了更多人对道路安全的关注，还带来了实际的改变。 22 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 23 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 6 Sunshine for all 单元话题（志愿服务）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 Cindy Evans works at Big Beaver Elementary School in Big Beaver, Pennsylvania. One day, she and her third-grade class read about the Great American Smokeout in Weekly Reader. The Smokeout is an event to help people give up smoking. The American Cancer Society runs it. “We read that about 1 million people give up smoking each year,” said Ms Evans. Then her students asked her, “What does 1 million look like?” Ms Evans told her class the best way to see 1 million was to collect 1 million things. “I was thinking about collecting 1 million small things like erasers,” said the teacher. But her students had a better idea: to collect 1 million pennies (分) and give them to the American Cancer Society. Soon the class started their big job. Many people in the neighbourhood joined the students. Ms Evans said that the bank in their neighbourhood had to keep more pennies because so many people were collecting them. That June, the class went to the office of the American Cancer Society with 1,177,500 pennies, or $11,775.

I love her and I’d like to give her a nice gift. What should I buy? I hear shopping online is easy and quick. And we can buy anything we want through it. But I’m not sure if the things are good. —Sophie I’m busy and tired this week. How I wish to relax myself! So this weekend I’m going to the beach with my cousin. When we get there, we’ll swim in the sea, walk on the beach and have a picnic, and never think about our homework. We’re sure to have fun. —Ben I believe everyone hopes to see a clean and nice city.

We hope to finish the cleaning in a day. —Jessica It’s great to help others. As students, we may try our best to help people in need. Old people are always lonely and they need care and help.

It is a great way to spend our free time and help others at the same time. Last Sunday, my classmates and I took part in a volunteer activity in the community. We got there at 8:30 in the morning. First, we cleaned the streets and picked up the rubbish. Some students watered the flowers and trees. Then we visited the old people who lived alone. We talked with them, washed their clothes and cleaned their rooms. An old grandma told us many interesting stories about her life. We also sang songs and danced for them. They smiled happily and praised us again and again. I think volunteering is very meaningful. On the one hand, we can help people in need and make our community more beautiful. On the other hand, we can learn a lot from it. We learn to care about others, to be responsible and to understand the meaning of giving. We also get some useful experience that we can’t learn from textbooks. If you want to be a volunteer, you can join the volunteer club in your school. You can help homeless animals, teach English to poor children, or help clean up the park. No matter what you do, your kindness will make a big difference to others. 1．When did the students do volunteer work? A．Last Saturday. B．Last Sunday. C．Last Friday. D．Last Monday. 2．What did the students NOT do? A．Cleaned the streets. B．Watered the flowers. C．Cooked for the old people.

Colleen Wall, an artist, paints beautiful murals (壁画) in hospitals to help patients feel better. Her goal is to give them a “window view” of nature, allowing them to imagine being in peaceful, sunny places instead of hospital rooms. Colleen first became interested in this work in 1995 when she had cancer (癌症) herself. After getting better, she decided to help other patients through art. One day, while volunteering at a hospital, she cheerfully told a patient, “It’s such a beautiful day outside!” The patient sadly replied, “It always looks the same from here.” This conversation deeply moved Colleen and inspired her to start her project—“A View for a Room”. She wanted to change hospital rooms by creating paintings that looked like windows to nature. After raising enough money for her project, Colleen created 20 large paintings. Each one shows lovely natural views like forests, beaches, and country roads. The paintings also have encouraging messages like “Stay Strong” and “Hope Heals” to cheer patients up. Doctors say that looking at nature pictures can actually help people feel less pan and get better, making Colleen’s work even more meaningful. Last November, Colleen painted her murals on walls at Roswell Park Cancer Center in New York. “Being in hospital for a long time can make people feel lonely,” Colleen explained. “My paintings help them feel like they’re outside enjoying nature.” Many patients really like the colorful murals which make their rooms brighter and happier. For Colleen, this work is special because she understands what patients are going through. “I want to share the same hope that helped me when I was sick,” she says. 1．Why did Colleen paint murals in hospitals? A．To make hospital walls look more colorful. B．To help doctors work in a better environment. C．To teach people how to paint beautiful art.

In the city of Zhengzhou, there is a hot pot restaurant called Shengyousheng. It is doing something very special. It gives jobs to people who are hearing-impaired—that means they can’t hear well or at all. There are the words “more” and “sound” in the restaurant’s name. It shows its hope to bring more voices into the world. About half of the workers there have difficulty in hearing. A 31-year-old man, Deng Wei, works as the kitchen manager. He makes about 4,000 yuan each month and says he enjoys working in a quiet and friendly place. Shengyousheng is a self-service hot pot restaurant. Customers choose their own food and make their own sauces, so there’s not much need to talk. This makes it easy for hearing-impaired workers to do their jobs. To help with communication, the restaurant uses big posters on the walls. These posters show simple hand signs, like how to say “thank you” by placing one hand near your chin and moving it forward. There are also signs for “food”, “hello”, and “wait for a while”. Next to each picture, there are easy-to-read words, so customers can understand what the hand signs mean. Each table also has cards and pens. Customers can use them to write to the workers if needed. Shengyousheng is not only helping people with hearing problems find jobs, but also showing everyone that kindness, patience, and respect are just as important as words.

I know some people who are quick to talk about how they help others. Smiling big, they tell me about the number of volunteer hours. But sometimes I find out that they don’t even know the task (任务) of the group! Although this only happened twice, it really troubled me. So I start to think that maybe this isn’t the best way to think about helping others. ________ It should be more about making your community (社区) better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world. You should think about helping others, not about how it will benefit you. The best way to fix this is to change what colleges and jobs ask for. Instead of asking “how many hours have you helped”, they should ask “how have you made things better for others”. They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just seeing the hours they’ve spent. We, the students, can also help fix this. Try to forget about the hours, because they’re not important. Choose groups you care about and learn about the people you’re helping. Don’t help because you have to but because it’s the right thing to do as a person. Next time you hear a friend talking about how many hours they’ve helped, tell them that numbers don’t change the world. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________”?

Rebecca’s family got food there. It helped them a lot. Rebecca’s mother was very thankful for the food bank.

Imagine you’re hiking in the mountains and a heavy rain starts. You lose your way and the situation becomes unsafe. At this time, the Blue Sky Rescue Team could be your hope—a group of professionally (专业地) trained team members is ready to save you. This great group started in the early 2000s when outdoor activities got popular in China. At that time, a growing number of climbers got lost or hurt in the mountains. However, there weren’t enough professional rescuers available to help—that’s why the Blue Sky Rescue Team started. Offering free rescue services, the team has saved lots of lives over the years. Usually, they can help to look for missing people, save people who fall into the river or move injured (受伤的) people to a safe place. Whether people are in cities or in the mountains, they can call this team for help. However, if the situation is too serious, like in an air crash, the team is unable to help.
