Are you looking for something fun? Would you like to help others in your spare time? Then join us to be a volunteer! We’re a non-profit (非营利的) organization (组织). We have volunteer jobs of all ages. Anyone, from twelve-year-old children to people in their seventies, can become a volunteer.
You can help people in many ways. Schools need help in taking care of children while their parents are working. Hospitals need volunteers to look after children while their parents are seeing a doctor. Animal lovers can help take care of those dogs and cats without homes. There is something for everyone.
“As a volunteer, I don’t want to get anything. Seeing the children’s happy faces, and I’m happy, too.” said Carlos Domingo, an old woman of 62. “I often played computer games in my spare time before. Now I help older people learn how to use computers,” said another volunteer at the age of 18.
If everyone helps out a bit, we’ll have a better world to live in. Interested? Call us at 555 - 5756 or visit our website: www.activol.com.

Visit art museums. They offer a variety of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making land-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings by children's favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts.
Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.
Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts- Puppet(木偶)making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.

【推荐1】Every day I pass by a homeless old man on the street. He usually sits near where I go to school. Whenever I pass by, he says “hello” in a cheerful manner, and I always say it back. I give him any extra（多余的）change I have.
The old man always wears an old watch. It is not an expensive watch by any means, but it serves its purpose. One day I noticed he wasn’t wearing it any more. I asked him why and he looked down and told me that the battery（电池）had died so he threw it away. I knew he couldn’t buy a new battery and he had no enough money to buy a new watch.
He stayed on my mind all day, and I knew what I had to do. I went out to a shop and bought him a watch. It was not an expensive one, but one that was very similar to the one he had.
When I saw him the next day, he was smiling and cheerful as ever. When I bent down to put some change in his cup, I also dropped the watch in. I didn’t say anything about it. I just smiled at him and kept on walking. He didn’t even notice it until I left. I looked back and watched as he pulled the watch from the cup. He looked to me and I just smiled and nodded. He put the watch on with a big smile on his face and I walked happily on my way.

【推荐2】I was walking around in a store to look for a gift for my daughter when I saw a cashier (收银员) hand a little boy some money back. The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The cashier said, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.”
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
“It’s the doll that my sister loved most.”
His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to another world. Daddy says that Mommy is going to be with her very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the store.”
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “Suppose we check again. Maybe you do have enough money for the doll.” “OK!” he said, “I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to his and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left. The little boy said, “It’s lucky that I finally got enough money!”
A few minutes later, I left the store, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.

【推荐3】It was a hot day. Mark and Timo were glad that they weren’t lugging (用力拖) cans today. It was Wednesday yesterday, and it took hours to get all of the cans they had saved to the recycling (回收) center.
Today, the boys had to know how much money they got and what to do with it. They talked about bikes and basketballs. They dreamed about rockets and hot air balloons (气球).
As they walked, Mark bent over and picked up a can without even thinking about it. When he saw the can in his hand, he laughed.
“Old habits die hard,” Timo said. “Maybe we had better buy more rubbish bags!” Mark and Timo were still laughing about picking up cans when they caught up with Mr. Timmons.
“Hi. Mr. Timmons,” smiled Timo, “Where are you heading?”
Mr. Timmons seemed pleased to see them. “Well, I’m on my way to help at the food pantry (食品柜).”
“What goes on there?” Mark asked.
“Oh, they always need to help pack or unpack cans of food,” Mr. Timmons answered, “The pantry helps those people who don’t have enough money to buy food.”
“Not enough money for food?” said the boys together. They looked at each other and agreed.
