If you have no special plans for your holidays， why not spend your time helping others?

Don’t listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It’s not true at all. More and more people in the USA volunteer(志愿) to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don’t do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

Alice Hamilton， 17

I’m going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It’s going to be terrific—I’ll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars. It’ll be a nice sport， and I’ll be able to do something good at the same time.

Jason Moore，18

This summer， I’m going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good， low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They’ll teach me what to do， so I’ll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

Trish Anderson， 16

I’m going to teach kids who have trouble reading. I’ll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day， I’m going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher and I love children and reading， so this is going to be a great experience for me.

Nearly five years ago, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes(圣女果)in our back garden. Since then—for all these years—we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing anywhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and tasty. There are so many that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

Chip was in first grade when I arrived at his school as a counselor (輔導(dǎo)員). It was surprising to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil (惹人厭的) boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered "evil"? Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable.

But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office.

When the teacher came, . He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didn't think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn't hate him at all and, in fact, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chip's behavior really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it.

I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feeling.

As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I'm pleased to see his behavior improved through the rest of school years.

A child's mind is clear and sensitive (敏感的). He receives whatever others saw without protection. It is as easy to consider someone hopeless as it is to consider him able in his own special way.

1.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the passage?

A. she couldn't control her feelings B. I advised her to be more patient

C. Chip became angry and crazy again D. I encouraged Chip to express his feelings.

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that Chip .

A. accepted the writer B. wanted a rest

C. was quite afraid D. felt a little nervous

3.What can we learn from the passage?

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because the airport(機(jī)場(chǎng)) is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off which is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually good in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way, though it takes a little more time.

I also like cars. You can start your journey whenever you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
