One of the answers is that helping others can bring us true happiness. Scientists have found that when people help others, their brain releases a chemical that makes them feel good. This is sometimes called the "helper's high". There are many ways to help others in our daily life. You don't need to do big things — even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. For example, you can help a classmate with his homework, carry heavy bags for an old person, or simply give a smile to someone who looks sad. These small things can brighten someone's day and make you feel warm inside. Many schools now encourage students to take part in voluntary activities. Students can visit old people's homes, help clean up public places, or raise money for children in poor areas. Through these activities, students not only help others but also learn important life skills such as teamwork and communication. Some people worry that they don't have time to help others. But helping doesn't always take a lot of time. Even spending ten minutes a day helping someone can make you feel more positive about life. The more you help, the more joy you will receive in return. So, next time when you feel unhappy, try to do something nice for someone else. You might be surprised at how good it makes you feel. 16. What does "helper's high" mean in the passage? A. A kind of illness. B. A happy feeling after helping others. C. A high place where helpers work. D. A volunteer organization. 17. How can we help others in daily life according to the passage? ① Help classmates with homework ② Give money to everyone ③ Carry heavy bags for old people ④ Give a smile to sad people ⑤ Travel around the world A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②④⑤ D. ③④⑤ 18. What skills can students learn from voluntary activities? A. Cooking and cleaning. B. Teamwork and communication. C. Singing and dancing. D. Reading and writing. 19. What does the writer think about helping others? A. It takes too much time. B. Only rich people can do it. C. Even small acts can make a difference. D. It is only for adults. 20. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to make more money. B. Why schools have voluntary activities. C. Helping others can bring happiness. D. How to be a good student. 第二篇 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） A Circle of Kindness Three months ago, a video of a young man named Zhang Wei went viral on the Internet. In the video, Zhang Wei was helping an elderly woman pick up vegetables that had fallen from her basket. The woman was so thankful that she insisted on giving Zhang Wei some of her vegetables. Zhang Wei smiled and accepted them, then secretly put some money into the woman's bag before leaving. What makes this story even more special is what happened next. A passerby, Mr. Li, saw what Zhang Wei did and was deeply moved. Mr. Li owns a small restaurant. The next day, he decided to offer free meals to elderly people in the neighborhood every Sunday. "I saw a young man do something kind for a stranger, and it made me want to do something too," Mr. Li said. Soon, more people in the community started to join in. A group of students began to help elderly people with shopping on weekends. A barber offered free haircuts to people over 70. A woman named Mrs. Chen started a small library in her garage so that children in the neighborhood could read books for free. Zhang Wei said he never expected his small act of kindness to start such a big wave of goodwill. "Kindness is like a seed," he said. "When you plant it, you never know how many flowers will bloom." The story shows that one small act of kindness can inspire many more. When we help others, we create a circle of love that keeps growing and growing. 21. What did Zhang Wei do in the video? A.

As a student, I also have an experience of helping others. Last month, I noticed that my deskmate Li Ming seemed very upset. He told me he was worried about the coming English exam because he was poor at English. I decided to help him. Every day after school, I spent half an hour explaining the grammar rules and new words to him. I also shared some useful learning methods with him. We practiced dialogues together and I helped him correct his mistakes patiently. After two weeks of hard work, Li Ming made great progress. When he got his exam result, he smiled happily and said "thank you" to me. At that moment, I felt really proud and warm. I learned that helping others not only brings happiness to them but also makes us feel good about ourselves. I will always remember this experience and keep helping people in need. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
