The book shows us the importance of courage and independence. It encourages us not to give up when facing difficulties. The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel by Ernest Hemingway. It tells the story of an old fisherman named Santiago. He hasn’t caught a fish for 84 days. On the 85th day, he catches a huge marlin（马林鱼）. But on the way back, sharks attack the fish.

Volunteers can feed animals, clean their living places and play with them. This helps animals feel loved and cared for. It also makes volunteers responsible and kind.

This makes the community cleaner and more beautiful. It also teaches people to protect the environment. When neighbors work together, the community becomes more united. Helping at old people’s homes is meaningful. Many old people live alone and feel lonely. Volunteers can talk with them, read newspapers to them and help them do housework. This brings warmth and happiness to the old people. It also lets volunteers learn to respect the old. Volunteering is not only good for others but also good for volunteers themselves. It helps them learn new skills, make new friends and feel happy. If you want to make a difference, why not try volunteering? 21. What does volunteering mean according to the passage? A.

When we read books about kind people and their stories of helping others, we feel moved. We learn that small actions can make a big difference. This encourages us to go out and help others. Volunteering lets us practice what we learn from books. For example, if we read a book about protecting animals, we can volunteer at an animal shelter.

Both reading and volunteering help us become better people. Reading makes us knowledgeable and thoughtful. Volunteering makes us responsible and kind. They both teach us to care about others and the world. In my opinion, we should do both reading and volunteering. Read more good books to learn more, and volunteer more to help others.

Robinson Crusoe tells us to keep brave when we face trouble. *The Little Prince* reminds us to hold a pure heart and cherish love. When we dive into these stories, we learn how to deal with difficulties and get on well with people around us. Besides reading, we can also do small things to make a difference in our daily life. Lots of students choose to be volunteers in their free time. They visit the elderly in nursing homes, take care of stray animals or clean up public parks. These simple acts warm others’ hearts and make our society better. Reading lights up our mind, while helping others warms the world.
