If you are a college student looking for a program or taking a gap year to decide what to do next in life, then you should definitely consider volunteering abroad. We have made the selection process easier for college students! Take a look at these volunteer projects one can choose.
Wildlife Conservation Projects
They are meant for college students who are looking forward to spending time with animals. However, before starting the projects, college students have to attend an online meeting to see if they are suitable for the job, during which they need to answer some questions. Volunteers will get an opportunity to be part of a team working to make the environment better for some animals, as well as protecting them from danger.
Short-term Volunteer Programs (2-week Specials)
They are perfect for those who are looking for spring break programs or summer break programs. The “2-week Special Volunteer Programs” are made for college students who have less time to contribute but want to travel and volunteer abroad. Most of the programs are located in beautiful places and are extremely affordable.
Summer Volunteer and Travel Programs (3- 4-week Specials)
If you think you can make your vacation a little longer, then go for the Summer Volunteer and Travel Programs. These programs are designed in an amazing manner. Volunteers will go to the destinations (目的地), live like the locals, do some adventure sports, learn a new language and so on.
Community Development Projects
It is said that there are about 1 billion people who are short of housing facilities (住房设施). It is for this that Community Development Projects hold strong importance in our society. Volunteers are needed to make some real changes. Volunteers will be working to build or repair houses, school premises (校舍), and shelter homes. They help to achieve the goal of making society better.

We have met, but just not in person. I work in the bank and I usually do my work over the phone and computer. This lady is a borrower of my bank, one of the people I serve. We have had several conversations about her borrowings. She is neither a woman that is of my mother’s age, nor a grandmotherly type of client, because men or women of that age are always very loving and they remind me what I should do. This woman is of my age.
We have never met in person. She lives in New Jersey and I live in California. Her borrowings turned out great, and I didn’t worry even a little bit. To be honest, I think I just worked normally to finish my service. But every couple of months, she would email me a little note, telling me how I made a difference to her life, and how thankful she was for what I had done. I never expected that.
I have a busy and stressful job. Every day, I meet many people and I offer the same service to them.
I also keep a working relationship, with many. No one has done that for me. I don’t think I have done something different or helped her much. She just used her time and the most shining part in her heart to send me emails. I saw the beauty inside her.
Everyone can be tired and lonely right now. The same is true of the woman. Take a moment in your day to do one little nice thing for somebody, even if it’s for someone you do not know. You can make a little difference to their life and also to yours. It feds good to say I feel a little love today and that I find myself showing it to somebody else.

As much as I love watching Olympic diving, I’ve never understood why athletes hurry off to the showers and then proceed to relax in a hot tub (热水浴池) after each dive. They’re already wet. They’re only in the pool for a handful of seconds, so it’s not like they need to get cleaned up. And doesn’t taking a shower serve the same purpose as sitting in a hot tub?
Actually, that’s what Olympic divers usually do between dives as they know very well about the importance of warm-ups and cool-downs. So, what’s the actual reason?
As it turns out, showers and hot tubs are used pretty interchangeably by the swimming pool. However, there is a need for both. First, let’s start with why divers need to take a shower between dives. It has to do with body temperature and keeping their muscles loose (放松的). As you can imagine, practicing dives in the pool, then having to keep your body warm in a shower, and then jumping off a 10-meter platform and into cold water couldn’t be comfortable for anyone.
Going back and forth between these warm and cool temperatures can cause a divert muscles to tense or cramp up (痉挛), which can lead to injuries to the muscles. Showers allow an Olympic diver to recover and prevent that.
In that way, showers and hot tubs serve the same purpose. A hot tub is generally used if you have a bit more time between dives and have already stretched. The shower walls on the pool deck can typically provide enough space for more divers at the same time, and they’re especially helpful for athletes who need to stretch or who only have a few minutes between dives. Just like Olympic swimmers depend on thick clothes to keep their muscles warm, Olympic divers rely on these methods to stay loose. If you ask me, it’s not a bad way to pass the time!
8. What does the underlined word “proceed” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Fail.
B. Continue.
C. Stop.
D. Afford.
9. Why do the athletes need showers after diving?
A. To folly clean their body.
B. To rest and wait for the results.
C. To avoid possible muscle injuries.
D. To stop themselves from catching a cold.
10. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. The shower walls are designed for divers in the final round.
B. Olympic swimmers need to stay warm using hot tubs.
C. Athletes usually do some activities to pass the time.
D. Hot tubs are as important as showers for divers.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To tell us the difference between diving and swimming.
B. To explain some little-known knowledge about divers.
C. To compare cold showers with the hot bath.
D. To provide some diving advice for us.
D
Flying someone one-way from London to New York City produces a lot of climate-warming greenhouse gas. But there is a new way to cut the climate influence of flying. Most planes crossing the Atlantic Ocean follow one of several fixed paths that are widely spaced. “Instead of having these fixed tracks which keep the planes apart, airlines can fly much more flexible routes (灵活的路线),” says Cathie Wells. She is a PhD student in mathematics.
The aviation industry knows it has a high carbon footprint (碳排放量). To reduce that footprint, some people share their ideas. For instance, experts could redesign planes. Or airlines could choose fuels (燃料)from renewable sources, such as plants. But it takes decades and many billions of dollars to design, test and fly new planes and try new fuels.
Taking more flexible routes, in contrast, can cut costs and energy right away. “Reducing fuel use is a win-win solution,” says Irene Dedoussi, who works at Delft University of Technology. It allows the aviation industry to save money on fuels while reducing carbon footprints. “Even savings of just one or two percent are generally considered important. Using something so simple to cut fuel use by one sixth is huge,” she said. Before that can happen, however, Wells needs to make a few changes. The researchers of her team will have to work out the best flight paths that consider scheduling issues.
National Air Traffic Services (NATS) provides air-traffic control for the United Kingdom. It invited Wells to describe her new findings. Just one week after her team’s new study was published, NATS said it would change its flight-paths system. For now, NATS will be working with airlines to allow them to choose routes that would best limit their fuel use.
12. What is Cathie Wells’ way to cut the climate influence of flying?
A. Making changes to flight paths.
B. Changing the design of planes.
C. Using environment-friendly fuels.
D. Improving the pilots’ driving skills.
13. What’s the problem with the ideas on reducing carbon footprints in Paragraph 2?
A. They require dangerous experiments.
B. They are not supported by the public.
C. They take a lot of time and can be costly.
D. They are unable to reduce carbon footprints to the lowest.
14. What do we know about Wells5 suggestion?
A. It brings better service to passengers.
B. It is helpful in reducing traffic jams.
C. It has little influence on the aviation industry.
D. It has big advantages but needs careful consideration.
15. What does the author mainly talk about in the text?
A. A solution to traffic problems.
B. The growing interest in the study of planes.
C. The influence of air travel on the environment.
D. A new way to make future air travel greener.

According to research, about 21.5 million American children between the ages of six and seventeen are involved (参与的) in a team sport. 16 But regardless of the reasons for getting involved, children can gain a lot from sports.
A 2006 report shows that taking up sports can increase both emotional and behavioral well-being in teenagers. And increased well-being can lead to higher confidence, which results in better overall performance. 17 In addition, they usually get along well with people around them and are less likely to have bad or risky behavior.
18 Through this process, children develop social and leadership skills and learn the value of teamwork. Children involved in sports usually have stronger and better relationships with their schoolmates and a better understanding of people from different backgrounds.
Actually, sports give children an opportunity to communicate with adults in valuable and positive ways, which can help them develop closer relation-ships with adults. This effect is especially great when children don’t get along well with their family members. 19
Although most effects of sports on children are good, there can be disadvantages. If the pressure
to win is overemphasized (过分强调) or the expectations of parents or coaches become too great, kids may experience lots of stress. 20 To avoid these bad effects, children should not overemphasize winning but focus on developing certain skills.
A. Being physically fit is linked to having a higher IQ.
B. They may take part in sports for fun or to develop some skills.
C. However, children hardly play sports when they become older.
D. It can cause worries, headaches, stomach aches, and muscle pain.
E. For example, children involved in sports are likely to do well in their studies.
F. Organized sports require children to work together to achieve a common goal.
G. Many children say sports have helped increase their conversations with parents.

It’s been over 40 years since I rode a bike on Saturday afternoons. But I bought myself a bike for Christmas this year. As one of the children growing up in the country, I had never had a bike of my own. Dad had managed to save an old bike from the local waste yard and gave it to me. But I found it hard to love the second-hand bike, which didn’t even have a proper seat.
Before I bought myself a bike, I didn’t think riding a bike was my thing. I was in my sixties and therefore I thought I was too old to start something new and possibly dangerous. And I often asked myself questions: Would my body cope with this tiring sport? Would I be truly willing to spend hundreds of dollars only to leave the thing in the garage (车库) until it will finally be broken? Would I be safe on the road?
But then I read an interview with Cadel Evans, a winner of the Tour de France, about his annual charity work for bike riders. He said cycling is good for our heart and muscles and that it will improve our body if done regularly. It’s also a good way for us to go outside and exercise. More importantly, he said his mother still chose to ride in a 65km race at an old age and that she didn’t feel fear while riding. Reading this, I felt inspired and I wanted to be just like his mother. Then I headed to the bike shop immediately and there was no turning back.
There were different kinds of bikes in the shop. I tried many of those bikes but they were just not what I wanted. Then I saw an amazing blue bike at the comer of the shop. That was it. I was happy that I found “my bike”. And it felt right the first time I sat on it. So it didn’t take me much time to make my choice. I bought it though it was expensive.

It didn’t fit in the back of my car, so I rode it home.

第一节
Dear Judy,
Sorry to hear that you have difficulty concentrating on your studies, and I am writing to offer you some advice.
First, it’s necessary for you to get enough sleep and eat a balanced diet every day, which can help you get energetic. Second, you can break down what you should do every day into smaller tasks and finish them one by one. What’s more, it’s a good choice for you to do some exercise when you get upset. I hope my advice will be helpful to you.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua 第二节
Paragraph 1:
It didn’t fit in the back of my car, so I rode it home. With a little fear, I rode carefully on my way home. Then I put the bike in my garage, feeling childishly happy and out of breath. I rode again the next day to meet a friend for coffee, which was a 15-minute ride. A few days later, I rode for 40 minutes around a nearby lake. Day by day, my skill in cycling improved. It’s amazing that I can ride for over one hour now, which is far beyond my imagination.
Paragraph 2:
I’ve completely fallen in love with this sport. During my weekly rides, I find things that I’ve never noticed before. More importantly, now I have some friends who share the same interest as me. Riding a bike is not just a sport for me now. My weekly rides have become my special moments when I feel like a kid again. They make me feel free, strong and happy. How lucky I have made such a wonderful choice!。
