In every country, there are thousands of people who want to help others out. Many join organizations run (治理) by their governments, such as the Peace Crops in the United States and Voluntary Service Overseas in Britain. Since the powerful earthquake took place in Sichuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have helped there! They do all kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life. Some offer their professional(专业的) skills for free. Others have no qualifications (资历), but they love to work hard to help.
One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to help the poorest people of Calcutta . She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became mother of those without families.
Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities, too. They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get
older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on-the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life.
All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villages. Could you be a volunteer? What kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you. ( ) 6. The Peace Crops is ___________ in the United States .
A. a city
B. an organization
C. a volunteer

life
( ) 9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

C. Young kids can’t be volunteers.
D. Some volunteers bring joy to others.
( ) 10. What is the main idea of this passage?

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling (玩魔术) some five balls in the air. You name them: Work, Family, Health, Friends, Spirit. And you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (反弹) back, but the other four balls --- family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be destroyed or even broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and treat each of them in the right way in your life.
How?
1. Don’t undermine (毁损) your worth by comparing（比较）yourself
with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
2. D on’t set your goals by what other people think important. Only
you know what is best for you.
3. Don’t let your life go away quietly through your fingers by living
in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
4. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is
really over until the moment you stop trying.
5. Don’t be afraid to admit（承认）that you are less than perfect.
6. Don’t be afraid to meet risks（风险）. It is by taking chances that we
learn how to be brave.
7. Don’t keep love away from your life by saying it’s impossible to
find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
8. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where
you’ve been, but also where you will be.
( ) 11. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The five balls in our life are work, family, health, friends and spirit.
B. The writer means we must be more careful with our work than
anything else.
C. The writer thinks that health is as important as family.
