The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries,but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer,such as taking care of sick people,working in homes for homeless children,and picking up garbage from beaches and parks.Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries.They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves.Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people.Tracy,a good friend of mine,however,recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means.She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta.The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school,we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world.I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school,I too wanted to try her kind of work.So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people.I helped wash clothes and sheets,and pass out lunch.I al so fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up.I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them.To be honest,I don't think I was helping very much.It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help,but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
1.According to the text,a volunteer refers to a person who _________.
A.is willing to help those in need without pay

C.has a strong wish to be successful

2.Tracy started her work as a volunteer _________.
A.a(chǎn)fter she met Mother Teresa

C.when she was touring Calcutta
D.when she was working in a hospital
3.Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?
A.She liked to work with Mother Teresa.
B.She had already had some experience.
C.She was asked by Mother Teresa's example.
D.She wanted to follow Mother Teresa's example.
4.What is Tracy's “new idea”(Paragraph 2)of being a volunteer?
A.Going abroad to help the sick.
B.Working in Mother Teresa's home.
C.Doing simple things to help the poor.
D.Improving oneself through helping others.

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier--the shark(鯊魚).
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.
Lauren Smith,24,is close to completing her study on shark's ability to sense pressure.
If her studies prove the theory,scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather.
Miss Smith had previously studied the behavior of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.
She then used their close relatives,lesser spotted dogfish,for further research at Aberdeen University.
Her work--thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory--resulted from the observation that juvenile black tip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.
Miss Smith said:“I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”
“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree.I know there's so much more we need to understand--but it certainly opens the way to more research.”
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas,Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature,while also tracking them using GPS(Global Positioning System)technology.
In Aberdeen,she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的)and temperature changes off dogfish--none of which were harmed.She also used a special lab which can mimic(模擬)oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.
She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year.She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.
1.The passage is most probably taken from _________.
A.a(chǎn) short-story collection B.a(chǎn) popular science magazine

A.Sharks may be used to predict bad weather.
B.Sharks' behavior can be controlled.
C.Michael Fish is not qualified for his job.
D.Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster.
3.Lauren Smith conducted her research by _________.
A.removing hair cells from a shark's balance system
B.measuring the air pressure of weather fronts
C.recording sharks' body temperature
D.monitoring sharks' reaction to weather changes
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.A popular way of forecasting weather.
B.A new research effort in predicting storms.
C.Biologists' interest in the secrets of sharks.
D.Lauren Smith's devotion to scientific research.

smazon.com Dear Customers, I love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long read--as I relax into the chair,I also relax into the author's word,stories and ideas.The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background,and what remains is the author's world. Today,we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle,a wireless,portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books,magazines,and newspapers. We've been working on Mindle for more than three years.Our top design objective was for Mindle to disappear in your hands--to get out of the way--so you can enjoy your reading.We also wanted to go beyond the physical book.Mindle is wireless,so whether you're lying in bed or riding a train,you can think of a book,and have it in less than 60 seconds.No computer is needed--you do your reading directly from the device. We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones.But unlike phones there are no monthly wireless bills,no service or data plans,and no yearly contracts.There is no software to install.We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology. Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper.Sharp and natural with no strong light,reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen.Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces--less than a paperback--but can carry two hundred books. Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks! Jeff Bezos Founder & CED |

I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Macau.Coming from cold and cloudy England,I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt.Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin,my legs are very white.In the UK this is not a fashionable look at all.Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin.The darker the skin,the better the look.
As I walked around one shop,the two shop assistants didn't,take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly in Chinese.I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave.After we left the shop,she asked me what was wrong.I was embarrassed that they were talking abut my white skin.My friend laughed.“They weren’t laughing at you.They were saying how nice your legs are.Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.In face,there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them.”
It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better.The grass is always greener on the other side.If the women of the West and East thought the same way,Western women wouldn't spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn't need to use cream that makes skin whiter.
1.Where did the story happen?
2.What kind of skin do most British women prefer to have?
3.Why did the writer want to leave the shop at once?
4.What were the shop assistants talking about?
5.What does the underlined sentence “The grass is always greener on the other side” mean?
