• 1．If volunteering begins at an early age，it can become part of a child's life — something he or she may just expect and want to do.It can teach them：
     A sense of responsibility（責(zé)任感）.By volunteering，children and teens learn how to be on time for a job，do their best，and be proud of the results.And they also learn that，in the end，they are responsible for the well-being（幸福） of the whole community（社區(qū)）.
     The knowledge that one person can make a difference.A wonderful message for a child is that he or she is important enough to have an effect on someone or something else.
     The benefit of sacrifice（犧牲）.By giving up a toy to a less fortunate child，a child learns that it's good to sacrifice sometimes.Cutting back on playing time to help clean up a street tells kids that there are important things other than themselves and their needs.
     Tolerance.Working in community service can bring kids and teens in touch with people of different backgrounds，abilities，ages，and education.They will likely find that even the most diverse people can be united by common values.
     Job skills.Community service can help young people decide on their future careers.Learning to work as a team member，taking on leadership roles，setting project goals — these are all skills that can be learned by volunteering and will serve a child well in any future career.
     How to fill free time wisely.If a child isn't interested in traditional after-school activities，community service can be a wonderful choice.

• 2．I have dreamed of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated，but the best thing always needs waiting.I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park，which lies in Hawaii.
     When we arrived at Haleakala National Park，we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise.I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon，so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise.In the next morning，we all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o'clock.In the first half an hour，we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin，so we waited and waited.However，another half an hour later，I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness，and I felt that I was frozen to death.But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
     Nearly another one hour later， "Amazing！" Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light，which was really unbelievable.Until today，I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life.However，waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I cannot wipe from my mind forever.
     Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination，but what about the result after that？It might turn out to be pleasing，unbelievable and satisfying.So，it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.

• 3．Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing，Damien Hynes，a high school geography teacher in Australia，decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking.He wrote some well-organized nonsense （something untrue） on the blackboard.The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions.This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers.The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning （PEEL）.
     PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had concluded that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals；what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else.Students' lack of an over-all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity.
     Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty-headed but have their own explanations of how the world works.Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they differ from scientific explanations that are learnt later.In fact such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching.Students accept the teacher's scientific explanation，but do not drop their own.They simply keep both and use them practically：in a class test，they copy the teacher's idea，but in real life they use their own.
     Clearly what was needed was to make students understand their learning process（過程），and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with.On the surface（表面），a class being taught by PEEL methods only differs from an ordinary class in being a little noisier，because more people are talking.But there are some meaningful changes.Students are given much more time to express their views，and teachers don't make immediate judgement.The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected.This draws their attention to the actual learning process，and they become responsible for their own progress.
  
  （1）What was the aim of Hynes' experiment？

  
  A．To show that students didn't think about what they learnt.
  B．To prove the effectiveness of the project known as PEEL.
  C．To test students' general knowledge about geography.
  D．To encourage students to ask more questions in class.
  （2）Why did some teachers and researchers carry out PEEL？

  
  A．To ensure teachers do scientific work.
  B．To help students get higher test scores.
  C．To help normal teaching methods achieve their goals.
  D．To find the differences between what is taught and learnt.
  （3）An important difference between PEEL and non-PEEL classes is that in the PEEL classes

  .
  A．the teacher does not give the usual scientific explanations
  B．students always have their own knowledge of the subject
  C．more attention is paid to the students' own ideas
  D．the best explanations are given by the students
  （4）What is Damien Hynes？

  
  A．He is a teacher who teaches geography in a high school in Australia.
  B．He is a geography teacher and a researcher in Australia.
  C．He is a teacher teaching geography in a high school in Austria.
  D．He is a high school geography teacher in Austria.

• 9．Whether we notice it or not，our child is a little reflection of ourselves.They grow up looking more and more like us.They even have similar personalities and hobbies.And in some cases，the standard of choosing a good friend.
      One day，my 10-year-old Jane said， "Mom，I made a new friend at school today.Can she come over tomorrow？" Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
      "Sure，honey，that sounds great." I said，thinking back to my own childhood best friend，Susan.We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights，New York.We met at the age of 10，too.Like my daughter，I was shy and had trouble making friends.But Susan drew me out.She was one of the friendliest people in school，with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.Thanks to Susan，I was happy every day.
      In senior high school，Susan went on a trip to Florida.This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I'll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive." She told me.But I didn't get her phone call nor receive any mail from her.Soon，my family moved to New Jersey，making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
      Whenever I thought of her，tears came into my eyes.
      The next day Jane brought her new friend home. "Hi，Mrs.Smith，" the little girl said.Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. "My name is Jo.My mom will pick me up two hours later."
