Ⅱ.阅读理解。
Last year in Chicago, I went to a special school for charity work. Before I got on the bus, my friend asked me a question, “Why are you going there?” I did not know how to answer the question.
The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy suddenly walked towards me. He held my arm and pushed me to the ground. I could not understand what he was doing at first, and then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.
A teacher stopped this awkward silence. She asked the boy to make an apology. “Sorry,” the boy cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something unusual about this child.
After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child. She said that the child had a serious illness at an early age, but his parents were very poor, so they abandoned (遗弃) him.
I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.
Charity workers provide help for others in need and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference, but it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people. This is the value of volunteer efforts.
