五、阅读理解。
Sam Edmunds, a teenage boy from London, decided to raise money for a very good cause by cutting his hair. He had spent three years growing it, so there was lots of hair to cut. The last time he cut his hair was in 2022. Sam raised £3,200 for a local food bank. “I always had the idea of doing it again,” Sam told a news reporter. This time, Sam tried to help Alzheimer’s Society. Alzheimer’s disease usually affects the elderly and gets worse over time. Around one million people are living with it in the UK. Sam’s decision was very important to him because his friend died of Alzheimer’s disease in 2024, and some of his friends also lost their family members with Alzheimer’s disease. In February 2025, when a famous football player from Sam’s favourite team died of Alzheimer’s disease, Sam was grieved. So he named his charity event “Bald for Bowles”. “I want to do something to remember all these wonderful people who meant so much to me and their family,” Sam said. Sam raised over £4,000 online for Alzheimer’s Society. But that was not all—his hair was also sent to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that makes wigs (假发) for children who have lost their hair because of health problems. Will Sam grow his hair again? “Yes!” he said with a smile. “Growing hair takes time, but helping others is always worth it.”

Volunteer Travel
Have you heard of any voluntary activities like planting trees, cleaning up the community and looking after the old people? 1 It is a new and popular voluntary activity among young people.
2 This idea sounds perfect for travellers who want to make a difference to their travel destinations. The main purpose of volunteer travel is to take part in activities to help local communities and people. 3 Volunteer travel allows them to work with local communities and get a deeper understanding of different ways of life. They live like a local, learn languages, and understand traditions beyond places of interest. 4 Volunteers can exchange their work and service for food. Some projects even provide volunteers with free places to live.
However, volunteer travel may also cause problems for those communities. Some volunteers stay for such a short time that they can’t truly solve problems, leaving local people to ask, “Was this just for show or self-satisfying?” 5 Besides, their leaving may make the students lonelier than before. This will hurt students’ feelings. Also, some volunteers may not have the right skills and even make things worse.
A.Another advantage of volunteer travel is that it can cut down travel cost.
B.Volunteer travel combines travel with meaningful voluntary work.
C.For example, when short-term volunteer teachers leave, students’ learning may stop.
D.But do you know what volunteer travel is?
E.Travellers can teach English to children, work on protecting wildlife and traditional culture.
F.Volunteer travel is becoming less and less popular these days.
