六、任务型阅读(每题2分,共10分)
I often read about children living in the mountains of China.Th ey don’t have enough learning resources, especially for English. I believe English is not just a language—it also gives people the chance to see the world differently. So I started thinking about what I could do for these children.
Then, I came up with an idea: to make special English learningma terials! More than 10 classmates joined me, and we started a club called“ Out of Mountains”.
Our English materials have three parts: listening, reading andw riting. We decided to publish them every month and send them to children by email. We also built a website so children could get information more easily. Each of us worked on one part, such as writing content, designing layouts, makin gillustrations and developing the website. To make the learning process more f un, we chose interesting topics for kids, like holidays.
The hardest part was finding the children. I contacted schoolsi n Liangshan, Sichuan. I also reached out to children through some WeChat official accounts. I felt nervous talking to them and was afraid of being turned dow n,but I did my best to share our ideas.
In the end, we got the readers we had hoped for. Every time pa rent emailed us saying, “my child really liked the story”, it gave us the strength to keep going. I hope our small acts can help give these kids a better future.

Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with.

Better Community, Better Life
A good community is like a big family. What can we do to build a better community? I’d like to share some ideas.
First, showing good manners matters. Greeting neighbors with a smile, saying“please”and“thank you”—these small acts make our community warmer.
Second, protecting the environment is important. We can pick up litter, plant more trees, and save water. A clean and green environment makes everyone feel comfortable.
Last, I once joined a community activity—“Skill-Sharing Day”. Neighbors taught each other skills like cooking and DIY repairs. It made people closer and helped solve daily problems. Such activities can strengthen our community bonds.
Let’s work together to build a better community and enjoy a better life.
