Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among middle school students. It is a great activity that can bring warmth to others and also help us grow. Last Sunday, my classmates and I took part in a volunteer activity, and it left me a deep impression. Early in the morning, we met at the school gate. Our teacher divided us into three groups. The first group went to the old people’s home nearby. They cleaned the rooms for the elderly, washed their clothes and chatted with them. Some students sang old songs and told funny stories to make the old people laugh. The old people were very happy and said they felt less lonely. My group was the second one. We went to the city park. The park was beautiful but there was lots of rubbish everywhere. We picked up plastic bags, empty bottles and old paper. We also put up some signs to remind visitors to protect the environment. At first, some visitors looked at us strangely, but soon several little kids joined us. Working together, the park became clean and tidy soon. Tired as we were, we felt proud. The third group went to the street to give out useful leaflets. The leaflets told people about traffic safety and fire prevention. They greeted passers-by politely and explained the knowledge on the leaflets patiently. Many people thanked them warmly. The activity lasted about four hours. On the way back to school, all of us talked happily. We didn’t feel tired at all. I learned a lot from this experience. First, helping others is helping ourselves. When we bring happiness to others, we can get great joy in return. Second, teamwork is very important. We couldn’t finish all the work so well without working together. Third, small actions can make a big difference. Even simple things like picking up rubbish can make our city better. I decide to take part in more volunteer activities in the future. I hope more students will join us and spread kindness around us. 21. When did the writer take part in the volunteer activity? A. Last Saturday. B. Last Sunday. C. This Saturday. D. This Sunday. 22. What did the first group do? A. Cleaned the park. B. Gave out leaflets. C. Helped the old people. D. Directed traffic. 23. Why did the second group put up signs in the park? A. To ask people to keep quiet. B. To remind people to protect the environment. C. To show the beautiful views. D. To welcome visitors. 24. Which of the following is NOT the writer’s feeling after the activity? A. Proud. B. Happy. C. Bored. D. Tired but joyful. 25. What can we learn from the passage? A. Volunteering wastes too much time. B. Teamwork helps us finish work better. C. Few students like volunteering now. D. Big actions are the only useful ones. 三、任务型完形填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 on earthquake we hit scare when fall quiet lucky disaster My name is Li Hua.

Don’t stick them into food. Also, never talk with a full mouth, hit an empty bowl, or point at others with chopsticks—these are all considered rude.
