He was late again, ________ made the teacher very angry. A. what B. which C. that D. when 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：他又迟到了，这让老师非常生气。空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面“He was late again”这整件事情，且在从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which。 10.

You can choose to be happy no matter what challenges life brings you. Let the following simple strategies (策略) guide you back to your natural happy state (状态). Make lemonade when life gives you lemons. Besides happiness, trouble will also be part of life. It’s how you choose to react to your situations that make the difference. If you look at something hard enough, you’ll see the positive side of it. Do what you love doing. Do you have a lifelong dream or desire? If so, start working towards it. Taking baby steps towards a goal will help you feel like you’re accomplishing something. You’ll find drive and determination to reach that goal when it’s something you love doing. Use one of your talents. One reason why so many people are unhappy is that they’re not doing what they’re called to do with their God-given talents. Each of us has a purpose in life. You have natural talents to help you achieve your purpose, so use your talents effectively. Call a friend who you know is positive and cheerful. Talk about your feelings and listen to their advice. Usually, people allow themselves to go deeper and deeper into self-depression. The truth is that you don’t have to be sad. You can decide to be happy. You just have to make up your mind to do so. Gratitude (感激，感谢) is the quickest cure for sadness. When you focus on what’s wrong with your life, you forget to look at what’s right and good. Take a step back and reflect on your life. Do you have children or family to be thankful for? Yes, they may not be the person we’d like them to be, but imagine life without them. Now, be thankful that you have them in your life. Let your feelings out on paper. Often you’ll find that just getting your feelings down on paper will allow you to work through them, helping you feel better about yourself and your beautiful life! 36. The first paragraph is used to ________. A. expect readers to ignore themselves B. start a discussion among readers C. introduce the topic to readers D. carry out a challenge among readers 37.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了在生活中保持快乐的几种方法。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Let the following simple strategies (策略) guide you back to your natural happy state (状态).”（让以下简单的策略引导你回到自然的快乐状态。）可知，文章第一段引出主旨，文章想要介绍几种帮助我们快乐的方法，下文介绍了六种方法，由此可知，第一段用于向读者介绍文章话题。故选C项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Besides happiness, trouble will also be part of life.”（除了快乐，麻烦也是生活的一部分。）可知，生活不只有快乐，也有麻烦，由此可知，从第2段可以推断出生活充满了甜蜜和苦涩。故选C项。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词句后文“You have natural talents to help you achieve your purpose, so use your talents effectively.”（你有天赋来帮助你实现目标，所以要有效地利用你的天赋。）可知，人有帮助自己实现目标的天赋，由此可知，画线词所句指上帝赋予人天赋去做他们应该做的事情，“natural”意为“天生的”，符合句意。故选D项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。通读文全文，“Be thankful.”（要心存感激。）在“Gratitude (感激，感谢) is the quickest cure for sadness.”（感恩是治愈悲伤的最快方法。）部分提到了；“Call a cheerful friend.”（打电话给一个快乐的朋友。）在“Call a friend who you know is positive and cheerful.”（给你认识的积极开朗的朋友打电话。）部分提到了；“Use one of your talents.”（发挥你的才能。）在“Use one of your talents.”（发挥你的才能。）部分提到了；只有“Do many activities.”文中没有提到。故选B项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Let the following simple strategies (策略) guide you back to your natural happy state (状态).”（让以下简单的策略引导你回到自然的快乐状态。）可知，文章主要介绍几种帮助我们快乐的方法，由此可知，作者为沮丧的人写这了篇文章，让他们快乐起来。故选B项。 Although I was the class clown at school, there’s an introverted (内向的) side to my personality. That’s because I have a neurological (神经系统的) condition that makes it hard for my brain to process visual information. Words swim on the page for me. I wanted to learn how to read but I couldn’t. In primary school, I didn’t talk to any teachers or family about this. I was clever at hiding it. When I had to write anything down, I guessed, forming what I hoped was the right words. I became good at learning by heart. When I started secondary school, a student in class made me stand on a chair and read. It was so humiliating that I developed a bad stutter (口吃). I continued to fall through the net, emotionally and educationally. The only thing I loved was practical biology. I wanted to be a doctor. Then I left school and joined the military. I was determined to be a medic and trained hard. But things unraveled (揭开) when I did a course in pre-hospital emergency care. I passed all my practical exams, preparing for them by watching others. The problem was the written exam. I was so embarrassed but had to tell the examining doctor that I couldn’t read. He urged me to get back into education. I was 34. I applied to do a medical degree at the Open University (OU). It was back to basics on the course. I knew the alphabet and some words, but my vocabulary was small. I paid for a tutor, who worked with me every week, teaching me to understand words through pictures. It took me nine years to get that degree. Now, aged 47, I’m an ambassador for the OU, winning an award for embracing education so late in life. I now teach pre-hospital emergency care to medical school students. I also teach children and adults with learning difficulties because I want to give others the chances I had. I still struggle to read a menu if I’m not wearing my special glasses, but luckily there’s always someone around to lend me a hand. I look back and wonder how many other people have struggled with education and where they are now. I’m proof that no one should be discounted (忽视), ever. 41. How did the author deal with his problem in primary school? A. He tried hard to forget it. B. He found a way to hide it. C. He managed to overcome it. D. He turned to teachers for help. 42. What happened to the author when he was in the military? A. He was encouraged to be a doctor. B. His speech disorder became worse. C. He was advised to go back to university. D. He failed his exams and was forced to leave. 43. What did the author struggle to do after returning to education? A. Learn basics on the course. B. Build confidence in learning. C. Work hard to pass written exams. D. Try to catch up in medical classes. 44. The underlined word in Paragraph 6 can be understood as ________. A. raising public awareness of something B. making a new discovery of something C. accepting something willingly D. attracting great attention 45. According to the last paragraph, what message does the author want to convey? A. Experience helps to promote excellence. B. College education contributes to success. C. Everyone should be treated equally in education. D. Adults with learning difficulties need special education. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. A 44. C 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者有阅读障碍，这个问题导致他的梦想破碎，但通过别人的鼓励和自己的努力他重返教育并获得了成功。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“In primary school, I didn’t talk to any teachers or family about this. I was clever at hiding it. (上小学的时候，我没有和任何老师或家人谈过这件事。我很聪明地隐藏了它)”可知，作者小学时隐藏了自己的问题。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“He urged me to get back into education.(他敦促我重新回到教育领域)”和第五段的“I applied to do a medical degree at the Open University (OU). (我申请了开放大学的医学学位)”可知，作者在军队时被劝说回去念大学。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“It was back to basics on the course. I knew the alphabet and some words, but my vocabulary was small. I paid for a tutor, who worked with me every week, teaching me to understand words through pictures.(回到了课程的基础。我知道字母表和一些单词，但我的词汇量很小。我花钱请了一位导师，他每周都和我一起学习，教我通过图片理解单词)”可知，回去上学后作者挣扎着学习课程的基础，比如字母表和词汇等。故选A。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“He urged me to get back into education. I was 34.(他敦促我重新回到教育领域。那年我34岁)”和倒数第二段的“It took me nine years to get that degree.(我花了九年时间才拿到那个学位)”可知，作者34岁重回教育领域，并且花了9年，也就是在自己43岁那年才拿到学位。由此可知，作者因为在较大年龄主动接受教育而获得奖励。因此embrace意为“自愿接受”。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I look back and wonder how many other people have struggled with education and where they are now. I’m proof that no one should be discounted (忽视), ever.(回顾过去，我想知道还有多少人曾为教育而奋斗，他们现在在哪里。我证明了任何人都不应该被轻视)”推知，作者通过最后一段传递的信息是：每个人在教育中都应该受到平等对待。故选C。 In an air-conditioned office, you may see men sporting shorts while their female co-workers wear jackets to keep warm. Why do women feel cold more easily than men? The accepted answer is that men and women feel temperature differently. Our bodies produce heat through metabolism (新陈代谢). One of the key factors of the metabolic rate is our muscles. Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women. Yes, women and men have physical differences. But why is it women, in most cases, who feel more uncomfortable in a room set to a “comfortable” temperature? The answer lies in the data bias (数据偏见) behind the model of temperature setting in buildings. In a 2020 article in the journal Nature, Boris Kingma, a human thermal (热量的) performance researcher in the Netherlands, pointed out that most office buildings set the temperature in light of a model based on men’s metabolic rate. Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called “bias in thermal comfort”. This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design. Women are more likely to die from a serious car accident because a car’s safety equipment is designed for the typical body of a man. The medicine aspirin (阿司匹林) shows better performance in men since it was developed on data collected mostly from males. Women, who form half of the world’s population, seem to be ignored in these cases. 46. Why don’t men feel cold as easily as women, according to the text? A. Men have more fat to defeat cold. B. Men exercise more to produce heat. C. Men have a higher metabolic rate. D. Men burn off less energy when moving. 47. What is the main cause of women feeling uncomfortable in office buildings’ temperature settings? A. Physical differences between men and women. B. The data bias in thermal comfort models. C. Variations in clothing choices. D. Differences in heat tolerance. 48. What does Kingma think of the data bias behind the model of temperature setting? A. Unfair. B. Worrying. C. Acceptable. D. Reasonable. 49. Which is NOT an example of women being ignored for scientific and technological research and design? A. Safety equipment in cars. B. Temperature model setting. C. Differences in clothing choices. D. Performance of medicine aspirin. 50. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Arguments about data bias. B. More examples of data bias. C. Commentary on data bias. D. Reasons for human’s data bias. 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. A 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在科学技术研究开发的产品设计数据收集中，男性和女性因为身体的差异，产生的数据偏差的几个例子。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women.”（一般来说，男性比女性有更多的肌肉，导致更高的新陈代谢率。这意味着产生了更多的热量。因此，平均而言，男性不像女性那样容易感到寒冷。）可知，男人不像女人那样容易感到冷是因为男性的新陈代谢率更高。故选C项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But why is it women, in most cases, who feel more uncomfortable in a room set to a “comfortable” temperature? The answer lies in the data bias (数据偏见) behind the model of temperature setting in buildings.”（但为什么在大多数情况下，女性在设置为“舒适”温度的房间里会感到更不舒服呢?答案在于建筑温度设定模型背后的数据偏见。）可知，女性在办公大楼的温度设置中感到不舒服的主要原因是热舒适模型中的数据偏差。故选B项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called “bias in thermal comfort”.”（在建立模型时没有考虑女性数据。换句话说，办公楼里的舒适温度主要适合男性，而不是女性。在他的文章中，金玛呼吁结束这种所谓的“热舒适偏见”。）可推知，金玛认为温度设定模型背后的数据偏差是不公平的。故选A项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design. Women are more likely to die from a serious car accident because a car’s safety equipment is designed for the typical body of a man. The medicine aspirin (阿司匹林) shows better performance in men since it was developed on data collected mostly from males.”（这只是数据偏差的一个例子。卡洛琳·佩雷斯在她的书中列举了更多女性在科学技术研究和设计数据收集中被忽视的例子。女性更有可能死于严重的车祸，因为汽车的安全设备是为典型的男性身体设计的。阿司匹林在男性身上表现得更好，因为它是根据主要从男性身上收集的数据开发的。）结合文章第一个讲述的温度设定模型数据偏差，可知，服装选择的差异不是女性在科技研究和设计中被忽视的例子。故选C项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design. Women are more likely to die from a serious car accident because a car’s safety equipment is designed for the typical body of a man. The medicine aspirin (阿司匹林) shows better performance in men since it was developed on data collected mostly from males. Women, who form half of the world’s population, seem to be ignored in these cases.”（这只是数据偏差的一个例子。卡洛琳·佩雷斯在她的书中列举了更多女性在科学技术研究和设计数据收集中被忽视的例子。女性更有可能死于严重的车祸，因为汽车的安全设备是为典型的男性身体设计的。阿司匹林在男性身上表现得更好，因为它是根据主要从男性身上收集的数据开发的。在这些情况下，占世界人口一半的妇女似乎被忽视了。）可知，这段主要讲的是更多数据偏差的例子。故选B项。 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home, I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it enhance my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It’s something you won't regret! 51. What kind of person was the author before volunteering? (no more than 5 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 52. Who influenced the author to volunteer? (no more than 3 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 53. What did the author do when the elderly patients had difficulty in communicating with the workers? (no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 54. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 4? (one word). ______________________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of volunteering after reading the text? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. A selfish girl. 52. Her neighbor. 53. She translated things for them. 54. Improve. 55. It is meaningful because it helps others and improves ourselves. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者从自私变得乐于参与志愿活动，并在志愿经历中收获成长的故事。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself.(我曾经是一个自私的女孩，只考虑自己)”可知，做志愿之前作者是一个自私的女孩。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others.(有一天，我突然受到邻居的影响，他现在在上大学，我最后想要为他人做志愿工作)”可知，是作者的邻居影响她去做志愿。 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help.(因为他们是韩国人，常常很难和受雇的看护人员沟通。我有时为他们翻译，并且愿意在他们需要时当翻译)”可知，老人和工作人员沟通有困难时，作者为他们翻译。 【54题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第四段中“By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it enhance my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it.(通过帮助别人，我感受到自己被社会需要。它不仅增强我的自信，也让别人从中受益)”以及最后一段“Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society.(志愿活动是提升自己、他人和整个社会的好机会)”可知，志愿活动可以提升自我，结合语境，志愿活动能够提升自信心，由此猜测enhance的含义为“提升、改善”。 【55题详解】 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中“Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society.(志愿活动是提升自己、他人和整个社会的好机会)”以及第四段作者的收获可知，志愿活动很有意义，既能帮助他人也能提升自我。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 56. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津，你的英国笔友 Chris来信询问你进入高中以来的情况。请给他写一封回信，内容包括： (1) 对高中学习生活的感受； (2) 遇到的主要挑战及你的应对方式； (3) 对未来的期待和计划。 注意： (1) 词数不少于100 (2) 可适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯； (3) 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, I am glad to receive your letter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I am glad to receive your letter.

You can choose to be happy no matter what challenges life brings you. Let the following simple strategies (策略) guide you back to your natural happy state (状态). Make lemonade when life gives you lemons. Besides happiness, trouble will also be part of life. It’s how you choose to react to your situations that make the difference. If you look at something hard enough, you’ll see the positive side of it. Do what you love doing. Do you have a lifelong dream or desire? If so, start working towards it. Taking baby steps towards a goal will help you feel like you’re accomplishing something. You’ll find drive and determination to reach that goal when it’s something you love doing. Use one of your talents. One reason why so many people are unhappy is that they’re not doing what they’re called to do with their God-given talents. Each of us has a purpose in life. You have natural talents to help you achieve your purpose, so use your talents effectively. Call a friend who you know is positive and cheerful. Talk about your feelings and listen to their advice. Usually, people allow themselves to go deeper and deeper into self-depression. The truth is that you don’t have to be sad. You can decide to be happy. You just have to make up your mind to do so. Gratitude (感激，感谢) is the quickest cure for sadness. When you focus on what’s wrong with your life, you forget to look at what’s right and good. Take a step back and reflect on your life. Do you have children or family to be thankful for? Yes, they may not be the person we’d like them to be, but imagine life without them. Now, be thankful that you have them in your life. Let your feelings out on paper. Often you’ll find that just getting your feelings down on paper will allow you to work through them, helping you feel better about yourself and your beautiful life! 36. The first paragraph is used to ________. A. expect readers to ignore themselves B. start a discussion among readers C. introduce the topic to readers D. carry out a challenge among readers 37. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ________. A. trouble is part of life B. lemonade is very delicious C. life is full of sweetness and bitterness D. lemons can only be used to make lemonade 38. The underlined word “God-given” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. diverse B. learned C. excellent D. natural 39. Which of the following strategies is NOT mentioned in this passage? A. Be thankful. B. Do many activities. C. Call a cheerful friend. D. Use one of your talents. 40. The author writes the passage for ________ people. A. excited B. depressed C. positive D. kind-hearted Although I was the class clown at school, there’s an introverted (内向的) side to my personality. That’s because I have a neurological (神经系统的) condition that makes it hard for my brain to process visual information. Words swim on the page for me. I wanted to learn how to read but I couldn’t. In primary school, I didn’t talk to any teachers or family about this. I was clever at hiding it. When I had to write anything down, I guessed, forming what I hoped was the right words. I became good at learning by heart. When I started secondary school, a student in class made me stand on a chair and read. It was so humiliating that I developed a bad stutter (口吃). I continued to fall through the net, emotionally and educationally. The only thing I loved was practical biology. I wanted to be a doctor. Then I left school and joined the military. I was determined to be a medic and trained hard. But things unraveled (揭开) when I did a course in pre-hospital emergency care. I passed all my practical exams, preparing for them by watching others. The problem was the written exam. I was so embarrassed but had to tell the examining doctor that I couldn’t read. He urged me to get back into education. I was 34. I applied to do a medical degree at the Open University (OU). It was back to basics on the course. I knew the alphabet and some words, but my vocabulary was small. I paid for a tutor, who worked with me every week, teaching me to understand words through pictures. It took me nine years to get that degree. Now, aged 47, I’m an ambassador for the OU, winning an award for embracing education so late in life. I now teach pre-hospital emergency care to medical school students. I also teach children and adults with learning difficulties because I want to give others the chances I had. I still struggle to read a menu if I’m not wearing my special glasses, but luckily there’s always someone around to lend me a hand. I look back and wonder how many other people have struggled with education and where they are now. I’m proof that no one should be discounted (忽视), ever. 41. How did the author deal with his problem in primary school? A. He tried hard to forget it. B. He found a way to hide it. C. He managed to overcome it. D. He turned to teachers for help. 42. What happened to the author when he was in the military? A. He was encouraged to be a doctor. B. His speech disorder became worse. C. He was advised to go back to university. D. He failed his exams and was forced to leave. 43. What did the author struggle to do after returning to education? A. Learn basics on the course. B. Build confidence in learning. C. Work hard to pass written exams. D. Try to catch up in medical classes. 44. The underlined word in Paragraph 6 can be understood as ________. A. raising public awareness of something B. making a new discovery of something C. accepting something willingly D. attracting great attention 45. According to the last paragraph, what message does the author want to convey? A. Experience helps to promote excellence. B. College education contributes to success. C. Everyone should be treated equally in education. D. Adults with learning difficulties need special education. In an air-conditioned office, you may see men sporting shorts while their female co-workers wear jackets to keep warm. Why do women feel cold more easily than men? The accepted answer is that men and women feel temperature differently. Our bodies produce heat through metabolism (新陈代谢). One of the key factors of the metabolic rate is our muscles. Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women. Yes, women and men have physical differences. But why is it women, in most cases, who feel more uncomfortable in a room set to a “comfortable” temperature? The answer lies in the data bias (数据偏见) behind the model of temperature setting in buildings. In a 2020 article in the journal Nature, Boris Kingma, a human thermal (热量的) performance researcher in the Netherlands, pointed out that most office buildings set the temperature in light of a model based on men’s metabolic rate. Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called “bias in thermal comfort”. This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design. Women are more likely to die from a serious car accident because a car’s safety equipment is designed for the typical body of a man. The medicine aspirin (阿司匹林) shows better performance in men since it was developed on data collected mostly from males. Women, who form half of the world’s population, seem to be ignored in these cases. 46. Why don’t men feel cold as easily as women, according to the text? A. Men have more fat to defeat cold. B.

I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home, I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it enhance my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It’s something you won't regret! 51.
