【題目】Have you ever considered volunteering? It gives you a chance to give back. You’ll feel a sense of pride that you are volunteering your time, and a local organization will benefit, too. But how to volunteer? Follow the three steps before you enjoy it.

Pick an organization. 【1】 You’re likely to be happier and volunteer longer at an organization that supports a cause you care about. For example, if you’re interested in animal welfare, maybe you want to volunteer at an animal shelter. Much like job search sites, you can also use volunteer websites like Volunteer Match or Serve.gov to help you find volunteer opportunities in your area. If you still can’t narrow down where you want to volunteer, start asking people you know where they volunteer. 【2】

Be clear what you can offer. First identify your skills. For example, maybe you could write brochures for local nonprofits if writing is your style. 【3】 You need to be sure how much time you can give to an organization based on your other commitments. If you try to do too much, you ‘re more likely to give up.

【4】 Treat the application like a job. Spend some time preparing for the interview, much as you would for a job interview. 【5】 Ask what’s expected of volunteers. For instance, volunteers at a museum may be expected to learn parts of the galleries to give tours. Start volunteering slowly. That is, it’s better to commit to just a little bit of time at first to see if you like volunteering at the organization.

A.Apply and get started.

B.Volunteer in person or online.

C.Then don’t forget to review your weekly schedule.

D.You’d better focus on the causes you like very much.

E.You may find one of them has the perfect opportunity for you.

F.It is also a time for you to assess whether the organization is fit for you.

G.First find an organization that’s a good fit for you, and then decide what you have to offer.

As the saying goes, “many little drop of water make an ocean.” A small action may lead to major changes in society. My friends and I participated a voluntary activity at a nursing home last week. We first did some cleaning or washing. After that we spend half an hour chat with the old people living there. Though it was a tired day, we were happy with that we did. I felt a sense of responsibility by visiting the old. If all of us lend a helping hand to the people in the need, we can live in harmony with each other. A society is just like a family. If they are willing to help others, our small action can make a bigger difference.

【題目】Facebook Is a Big Waster

During the first decade of the 21st century, a popular and new word has come into our vocabulary—Facebook. This is the most popular social networking website on the Internet. 【1】You can send messages to your friend’s electronic wall, put up a status saying something like “Going to the mall, I need to get a new pair of shoes” or “it’s finally the weekend! :)”.

In spite of the benefit it does on common people, it is true that this social network is a big waster. There are about 350 million active users on this website and 67% of them are between the ages of 13-25. More than 35 million users update their status every day. 【2】

The highest age group who use Facebook are teenagers. Most of them keep the website running whenever they are using the computer, if they aren’t in school or when they aren’t asleep. Facebook is just changing the new generation of youngsters unconsciously. The teenage life is one of the most important stages of life. 【3】 It is a distraction to their mind as well. Nowadays, when all their homework and research are on ICT(信息技術(shù)), they would easily switch to Facebook just to check if there was anything updated among their friends.

Facebook is also where people can see the gossip among their friends, virtual arguments, relationship status and updates, who is in whose “top friends”, you can become fan of anything, join groups, post pictures and videos, play childish games, invite friends to parties or events and a lot more. Generally, all these would just disturb people into living life to the fullest. It’s not just teens who become addicted, even grown-ups do. An average person spends about 55 minutes on Facebook. 【4】 Technology might be taking over people’s life. Furthermore, people who use Facebook through their mobile phones are 50% more active on Facebook than non-mobile phone users. This shows people using Facebook on their phones as well as computers just can’t stand being away from the website. Facebook is like crack to some folk.

【5】 This would make them think how life is like without saying what’s on their mind to all their friends on the Internet. A break would also make them more active, like socializing in person. This would finally help them focus better in school or in work. Although about 80% of people who take a break would come back to Facebook within days.

A. And 2.5 billion photos are added each month.

B. Wasting it on Facebook is not encouraging in any way.

C. This statistic isn’t that bad but some people spend about 3-5 hours.

D. It is time people should take a break from Facebook once in a while.

E. As a result, the average Facebook users have 130 friends who they share links with.

F.Usually, when people hear the words “social networking”, their brains automatically go to sites such as Twitter or Facebook.

G. The main idea of Facebook is that you can keep in touch with all your friends around the world who have Facebook.

Tips for a Happier Workplace
You don't have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be fri endly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.
◆Give a happy “Hello! ”in the morning
Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore(忽視)you or avoid you.（1） It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.
◆Learn the art of small talk
Ask your co-workers about their interests—their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. （2） Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.
◆Ask what they think
People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask, “What do you think of this report? ” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation? ” （3）
◆Avoid gossip(流言飛語)（4） So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond(回應(yīng))with, “Really? ”and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don’t respond, the gossiper will move on.
◆（5）
To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette(禮節(jié)). There's nothing more frustrating(令人沮喪的)to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder; it also conveys(傳達(dá))an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.
A. Stop complaining.
B. Return calls and emails immediately.
C. Then give the advice giver a silent thank-you.
D. Always work as hard as anyone working for you.
E. You don't want anyone talking about you behind your back, right?
F. Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you.
G. Get into the habit of greeting your co-workers with a smile as you arrive in the morning.
