【推荐2】I really love volunteering, for example, volunteering at old people’s homes. It’s one of my favorite     1     (hobby).

At my old school, I used to     2     (help) my classmates. It was fun to help     3     their studies. I wasn’t really a top student who always got the highest grades, but I could explain to them     4     (clear).

Now, when I’m free, I often volunteer on my town’s main street. Every weekend, other v    5     and I make a lot of dishes to feed everyone who     6     (cross) the street. There are always about 400~500 people. The long day makes me tired,     7     it also brings me great joy. The look of joy     8     those people’s faces would make my weary(疲惫的) day into a good day.

From my volunteering, I have learned that helping others doesn’t only make others happy but     9     (make) myself happy, too. And maybe one day, the people once you helped would help you b    10    .

When I was young, my father told me that some acts of     1     /lʌv/ may give someone happiness. So I always try my best to help others.

One afternoon, it was very hot. I was     2     on the highway to Fuzhou when another car suddenly came into my lane (车道). My car was in the far right lane, so it ran into the roadside. But luckily, it didn’t cause     3     accident.

I was     4     /ʌnˈhæpi/ with that driver, but I thought that he just did not     5     attention to the lane change, and maybe he was just     6     (care).

The car ran away after cutting me off. Very soon it disappeared. After a while, I came around a curve (弯道) and found the same car. The driver was walking along the roadside. He looked     7     (worry). The man’s car had a flat tire (瘪胎).     8     /ðəʊ/ he had a spare tire (备胎), he had nothing to work with. I decided to help him. I changed the tire for him and let him sit in my air-conditioned car while I did it. Fifteen     9     (minute)later, I finished the work. I was hot and tired, but I     10     /'ri: əli/ felt good after an act of kindness to the man.

Helping others is the source (源泉) of happiness. That’s true. We should lend a hand to others in trouble.

Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious food. As an important officer, he was often asked     1     (have) dinner. The shopkeepers tried their     2     (good) to fawn on (巴结) him. They knew it     3     (be) good for their business. Now the officer got     4     (fat) and fatter. He could     5     (hard) go upstairs at home and had to sleep downstairs. He often felt     6     (tiring) if he walked or did some housework. He was     7     (worry) about it and had to go to a doctor. “Stop     8     (eat) food with much fat (脂肪) and sugar, Mr. Jenkins.” said the doctor. “Or your health will be worse!” It was difficult for the officer to do it. He wouldn’t do as the doctor said. He found something was wrong with his heart a few     9     (month) later. Now he thought the doctor was right because he had to be in hospital.

“You must lose weight,” said the doctor, “unless you want to die soon!” “Could you tell me a way     10     (lose) weight, please?” “You must do some exercise first.” “Which exercise?” “To move your head from side to side when you are invited to dinner!”

An old farmer spent all his life on his farm in the country in the southeast of England. One day he decided to visit the big city. Everything was new and strange     1     him, because he had never traveled to the city before.

The old farmer visited a lot of interesting places in the city.

He rushed into a large tall building and saw a lift. When he     2     watching, an old woman got into the lift     3     closed the door. After a while, the door opened again, and a very perfect young girl came out.

The old farmer was very surprised, “What a funny little room!” He said to himself, “It’s magic. It     4     change an old woman into a young girl. The next time I come here, I’m going to bring my wife (妻子) to take     5     lift.”
