In 1998, when the volunteer teacher Han Mei first entered the small mountain village school, she couldn’t believe her eyes. She was     1     to see the sight（情景）in front of her: broken windows, small old desks and chairs. Even     2    , students of different ages were in the same classroom. It was the only class in the school. Han Mei realized the local people     3     in poor education, so she decided to find out as many ways as she could to help them.

One day when Han Mei was     4     a class, Ma Qiang, a naughty（顽皮的）boy, made some noises for fun. Other kids laughed. At that time Han Mei decided to     5     him. She walked towards Ma Qiang and asked him to put out his hands. Han Mei stood silently beside Ma Qiang and looked at him     6    . Then she said with a smile, “I examined your little fingers just now. I know you will become a good doctor in the future. Come on!” Hearing this, Ma Qiang was surprised because     7     had said such words to him before. This was the first time he had heard them. He couldn’t     8     that completely but he remembered what the teacher said in his heart.

After that, Ma Qiang studied much harder and later he went to college. After many years, just as his volunteer teacher had expected, he became a     9     doctor. Ma Qiang always says his volunteer     10     encouraging words have made what he is.

When you hear the word “volunteering”, what do you think of it? You may think volunteering is to help others, and give them money or things. It is true that volunteering can help others, but it can also     1    . If you are sad about something, doing volunteering can be a great way to deal with your     2    .

Volunteering also lets you see your     3     life in new ways. Sometimes it’s easy to worry about some things like grades and health or get angry when you don’t have     4     computer games. Volunteering lets you     5     some time doing other things for a while.

Should you help them when the old fall down on the street? At 9:00 a.m. yesterday, a bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping saw a man     1     on the side of the road. A woman next to him was shouting for     2    . Wang Ping stopped the bus     3     thinking twice. He got off and asked the woman what     4    . She said that the man had a     5     problem and should be sent to the hospital at once. Mr. Wang knew that he had to act     6    . He hoped all of the passengers could get     7     and wait for the next bus. But to his     8    , they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang move the man onto the bus.

Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the doctors saved the man     9     in time. A passenger says, “Many people don’t want to help others because they don’t want to get into trouble.” But the driver thought     10     about himself. He only thought about saving a life.
