One rainy afternoon, I had nothing to do at home and felt very bored. “Why not volunteer to meet people and try something new ” I thought. So I turned on my computer and on a website (网站), I found a farm in France that wanted some volunteers for a month. It was summer holiday, so I could go. I sent them an e-mail, and soon I was working there.
On the farm, I looked after sixteen horses and sheep! I soon found I was a terrible “father” but I was quite happy that I made some great friends and also improved my French. In fact, you needn’t go to other countries to volunteer. I’ve had lots of volunteer experiences at home, too.
It is true that helping others makes us feel good but volunteering can bring other good things, too. I once volunteered in a clothes shop so I could fill my wardrobe (衣橱) with lots of nice cheap clothes.
Volunteering is really fun, but my favorite part of volunteering is creating (创造) and sharing stories. My experiences on the farm gave me many funny stories to tell. Talking to volunteers from different countries also helped me learn more about the world. I am happy to have had so much fun with many nice people because of volunteering!
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
61. One windy afternoon, the writer had nothing to do at home and felt very bored.
62. The writer sent the farm a letter and soon he was working there.
63. The writer was very happy that he made some good friends.
64. It is true that helping others makes us feel good.
65. Talking to volunteers from different countries also helped the writer learn more about the world.

Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it but it doesn’t work. What do you think I should do
Jack
Dear Jack,
Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison, a famous scientist, did poorly in his studies when he was a young boy. But, as an adult, he made many discoveries (发明) that helped a lot of people. When I was at a young age, I didn’t do well at school. I just kept working hard and at last I succeeded (成功). You should take it easy (别紧张) and try your best. Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better.

One rainy afternoon, I had nothing to do at home and felt very bored. “Why not volunteer to meet people and try something new ” I thought. So I turned on my computer and on a website (网站), I found a farm in France that wanted some volunteers for a month. It was summer holiday, so I could go. I sent them an e-mail, and soon I was working there.
On the farm, I looked after sixteen horses and sheep! I soon found I was a terrible “father” but I was quite happy that I made some great friends and also improved my French. In fact, you needn’t go to other countries to volunteer. I’ve had lots of volunteer experiences at home, too.
It is true that helping others makes us feel good but volunteering can bring other good things, too. I once volunteered in a clothes shop so I could fill my wardrobe (衣橱) with lots of nice cheap clothes.
Volunteering is really fun, but my favorite part of volunteering is creating (创造) and sharing stories. My experiences on the farm gave me many funny stories to tell. Talking to volunteers from different countries also helped me learn more about the world. I am happy to have had so much fun with many nice people because of volunteering!
