Several years ago, Ed’s teacher asked him to take part in a volunteer activity. It brought normal children and disabled children together. Each week Ed spent an hour in the special school helping the disabled children with their schoolwork, games and eating. Ed’s mother was a teacher, so he often met a lot of children. At first, Ed thought it would be scary to be with children who were so different, but later he found there was something special with those children.

Every Wednesday, Tom, Susan and Anna couldn’t wait to see Ed. Tom had to sit on the wheelchair. He was only able to say some simple words like yes or no. Susan, a deaf girl, always welcomed Ed with a big smile. As for Anna she was born with an illness, and it made her really small for her age. In a normal classroom, it would be common to stop children playing with something, speaking loudly or making noises. However, in that school, the teachers didn’t mind noises. They were signs of the children’s feelings.

Working with those children made Ed learn to notice others’ needs. One of Ed’s teachers said, “We should be part of something bigger than ourselves.” Ed never understood that until he worked with those children.

6. What did Ed NOT help the disabled children do?

A．Have meals.	B．Do their homework.
C．Play games.	D．Repair broken things.

7. What was the matter with Tom?

A．He was deaf.	B．He was blind.
C．He couldn’t walk.	D．He couldn’t say anything.

8. Why did the teachers NOT mind the children making noises in that school?

A．Because the teachers tried to make their classes interesting.

B．Because it was a special way for the teachers to give classes.

C．Because the children showed their feelings in that way.

D．Because the teachers didn’t want to be angry with those disabled children.

9. Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Anna, Tom and Susan didn’t like Ed.

B．Ed’s mother was a teacher in that special school.

C．Ed was excited to go to that special school at first.

D．Ed understood his teacher’s words through the activity.

10. What’s the best title for this passage?

A．Try to be kind in life

B．Volunteer in a special school

C．Learn to work with other people

D．Give disabled children more care

Every year, a lot of young people in Britain finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they help with environmental protection（保护）.

Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to a university to study Spanish, but now she is living in Belize, a small country in Central America. Pauline says, “I’m working with other people here to protect the coral reefs（珊瑚礁）in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is polluted. the coral will die. I’m helping to study the coral and the fish that live around the reels. All over the world, coral reels are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.

“I’m staying with a family here. They are very friendly and I help with the cooking and the cleaning. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I have learned a lot about the people of Belize—and myself. When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I plan to visit other countries in Central America, too.”
