I spent three months volunteering with Volunteer Bolivia.It was at times annoying，scary and difficult，but also life－changing，satisfying an d amazing.Because I had studied Spanish for a couple of years before I went out，I had just one week of classes at Volunteer Bolivia.
Living with a family also helped my Spanish greatly and I felt immediately like one of their daughters.They were good friends from the beginning of my time there and I was looked after very well.I still had a lot of independence.The Volunteer Bolivia centre，with its café bar and cultural talks，was a meeting place for all the volunteers and I met some wonderful peopl e from all over the world who were doing the same as me—giving something of themselves to a country which needs so much.
My placement was in a caring centre for prisoners’ children from t he Cochabamba
prisons and from the very start I felt welcomed and needed.There I met some inspiring members who put so much of their heart into caring for those children who maybe had no one else to love them.The work itself was not only very hard but at times emotionally demandin g，especially sending a group of two－year－olds back into the prison at the end of the day.Despite all this，I learnt a lot through the experience and now I’m more aware of the problems faced daily by many people in South America.The centre has very limited funding so they rely heavily on the work of volunteers，and any time people give is very valuable to them.Since returning to Britain I have kept in touch with the people I worked with and I’m trying to support them as much as possible.Volunteering through Volunteer Bolivia has changed my life and is an experience I will never forget.

A．English B．Spanish
C．French D．Italian
22．Where did the author stay when she was in Bolivia?
A．In a hotel. B．In the volunteer centre.
C．In a café bar. D．With a local family.
23．The author’s job as a volunteer in Bolivia was to________.
A．raise money for some prisons
B．meet volunteers from other countries
C．look after s ome prisoners’children
D．help the local people with their farm work
24．What did the author think of her work in Bolivia according to Paragraph 3?
A．Challenging. B．Relaxing.
C．Disappointing. D．Boring.
25．What can we learn from the passage?
A．All people in Bolivia need the volunteers’help.
B．There is the world’s largest number of prisoners in Bolivia.
C．The author was a college student when she went to Bolivia.
D．The author’s experience in Bolivia had a great effect on her.
