10．There is no doubt that teens today are extremely busy．Homework piles up and extra-curricular （課外的） activities are time-consuming．Often，teens have to take part in a sport or activity after school，and they are up until 10：00or later doing homework．Getting teenagers involved in volunteer opportunities can give them a sense of accomplishment that is not connected with sports or school．
Teenagers are often in their own little world．Helping them get involved in volunteering opportunities is the perfect way for them to open up that world and give their time to a good cause．
The key to getting teens involved in volunteer work is to find an opportunity that will fit into their schedule and find something that interests them．Also，keep it close to home．If they have to travel a long distance to volunteer，it's less likely to be accomplished．
My son has helped with the local library's reading program for two summers．It is close to home and the schedule is very elastic．We go in and choose days that work with his schedule and he volunteers for about 2hours at a time．He is responsible for helping kids get signed up for the summer reading program and helping them record the hours they read．It is only a one-week time commitment，but it is very rewarding．
When teens volunteer they often see that there are others more needy than themselves．They also learn time management．Your teen will become a more rounded，less self-centred individual．
Colleges see thousands of students applying for admission every year．If your teen has shown the devotion to volunteer in the community，it can give him the advantage for college admission or scholarship opportunities．So，volunteering is good for their present and their future!

分析 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，屬于說(shuō)明文，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，今天的青少年非常忙，作業(yè)成堆，課外活動(dòng)是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間．本文以此展開(kāi)談?wù)�，主要講述了我們參加志愿工作對(duì)年輕人的現(xiàn)在和未來(lái)都有很大的好處．
解答 33．答案：C．主旨大意題．閱讀全文，根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹了青少年參加志愿者工作的好處．故選C．34．答案：C．推理判斷題．由最后一段中的"If your teen has shown the devotion to volunteer in the community，it can give him the advantage for college admission or scholarship opportunities．"可知，如果學(xué)生參加過(guò)社區(qū)的志愿者工作，那么對(duì)大學(xué)入學(xué)和獲得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金都有利，由此可知，大學(xué)更喜歡有志愿者工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的學(xué)生，故選C．35．答案：D．詞義猜測(cè)題．由畫線詞后面的"We go in and choose days that work with his schedule"可知，作者和兒子可以選擇適合兒子的時(shí)間，由此可知，時(shí)間應(yīng)該是比較靈活的，故畫線詞與D項(xiàng)意思接近．故選D．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道詞義猜測(cè)題，主旨大意題，推理判斷題．做題時(shí)學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項(xiàng)含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)．
