—Remember ________ it three or four times at least.

A few months ago, I learned that the city food bank needed some volunteers. I used to be the     36     in my group pf friends. So, I sent letters to ten friends. I’d like to     37     up a group that would volunteer to make and serve dinner for the disabled people. I wanted to invite my friends to be part of the group. Almost all of my friends     38    .

One day, several of my friends brought some food and helped prepare the meal. “I got such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I saw the     39     people get the food!” said one friend. Later, another friend made a list (清单) about serving,     40     we could do quickly and easily. Now each month there are new faces that join the group. One woman     41     invited another group pf her friends to serve.

It’s hard to imagine that simple     42     asking friends to help have made a great difference. At first, I just wanted to be an organizer. Now, I change my idea. I also love to work as a volunteer, because I can get more     43     from the happy faces of the disabled people.

A ten-year-old girl raised over 30,000 pounds for a children's hospice(收容所)in just eight months. What she did was to play her violin to the people who passed by in the street.Madison Glinski from the UK is a very caring girl. She made a New Year's resobution to help poor children last year. She planned to try and raise 500 pounds for a local children's hospice before Christmas. But since she began playing the violin in the street at Easter, she had raised a surprising 32, 520 pounds by the end of the year. She also raised money by selling her own toys.

Madison's mother supported her daughter's idea. She saild, “Madison has a musical talent.She has played the violin since the age of four. I am glad that she has used it to help others. She has special passion (热情)and dedication (奉献)for it.”

It is not the first time for Madison to help others. A few years ago, Madion asked her parents if they could all go to Africa at Christmas to help the children there. She collected toys, shoes, school things and clothes from her friends and neighbors to take to Africa. As soon as the family returned,   Madison started to plan for the next trip.
