【題目】For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes are in fashion?" And they use the word "fashionable" in the same way.

"She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour. "

Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.

【題目】Read the passage and answer the questions：

Our local Community (社區(qū)) Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town. I have been a member for four years now and I've taken part in a lot of interesting projects. These include fun activities such as holiday camps and discos. We have even made a video.

But it isn't all just enjoyment. We have also started doing social work to help people in our neighbourhood. We have organized activities for small children during the holidays. We have also formed a special support group to help young people stop smoking.

We are especially proud of the most recent group we have created. It organizes regular visits to the local home for the elderly. This idea came from a school visit to a home for the elderly. My class spent an afternoon at the home and everyone found the visit very rewarding (有意義的).

The old people at the home were excited by our visit. They were very talkative (健談的) and they told us their personal stories. During our visit, the home was full of the sound of laughter. We sang songs and played games with the old people and had tea together. But we realized that life wasn't always easy. Some of them were in poor health and were very unhappy. They couldn't go outside and the visits by children brought some sunshine into their lives.

Many young people like me have very little contact with elderly people. As a result, we have a lot of wrong ideas about them. We have little or no idea of the kind of lives they lead in the homes. After this visit, my friends and I decided we should do something to help improve the quality of their lives.

Since the creation of our visiting group over twenty volunteers have joined us. Up to now, we have organized three group evening parties and a concert. But I think the individual (單獨的) visits are the most important. Club members regularly visit old people and everyone finds the experience rich and rewarding.

【1】Community Youth Club isn’t a very popular organization with young people in my town, is it? _____________________________________________________.

【2】Why do they form a special support group?

_____________________________________________________.

【3】How did the old people in the home feel when the young people visited them?

_____________________________________________________.

【4】What did the writer and his friends decide to do after the visit to the home for the elderly?

_____________________________________________________.

【5】How many volunteers have joined them?

_____________________________________________________.

【6】What can you learn from the passage after reading it?

_____________________________________________________.
