Whether you’re looking for a way to give back or just want to learn more about the work of charities, this post is for you. ②A charity is an organization that helps people or communities in need. A charity may raise money from common people, companies and governments.

The list is endless. They help improve the lives of millions of people every day. ④Charities are good for you too. Helping others is good for your health and well-being. Volunteering for charities makes you feel like you’re making a difference, which in turn builds a sense of community and reduces loneliness. Volunteering for a charity can also help develop a sense of purpose, build friendships and increase self-confidence. ⑤Charities don’t just help people. There are also many charities that protect the environment and nature. The Nature Conservancy, for example, is an organization that works to protect the lands and waters on which all life depends. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has been working for more than 50 years to protect endangered animals. ⑥Charities play an important role in our society.

D Volunteers are people who help others without asking for money. They share their time and skills to make the world better. Every day, millions of volunteers work to solve problems around the world. 16 ______ Some help at animal shelters by feeding pets or cleaning cages. Others teach children to read in libraries. During natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, volunteers hand out food and water to families in need. Many teenagers volunteer too—they might plant trees in parks or visit elderly people in nursing homes. Why do people choose to volunteer?17 _______ Maria, a high school student from Mexico, spends Saturdays teaching younger kids English. “Seeing them smile when they learn new words makes me happy,” she says. 18_______ For example, organizing a charity event can teach teamwork and planning. One famous example is the “Clean Beach Project” in Indonesia. 19_______ Last year, over 2,000 volunteers joined in this activity. Because of their hard work, sea turtles are now returning to lay eggs on cleaner shores (岸). Becoming a volunteer is easy. Start by asking: What problems do I care about?

As the saying goes, “Many small hands can do big things.” When we work together, we create a better future for everyone. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A.
