1 . Pippi Pet Rescue, a volunteer group from America, named after a black cat, Pippi. She was a homeless cat and then found a loving family. But at 1 year old, Pippi was hit by a car and died. Pippi Pet Rescue was set up then. The group runs not for money, but for helping more street cats find a home. How does it do this?
Well, it shows their cats as if (仿佛) they were cars. On its website (网站), people can learn about the cats’ age, color and other information. Kayla Delcoure, a member of the group, had this idea when her family was thinking about buying a car. This is really helpful. Lots of people become interested in these cats. Some people give away money to help these cats live better. A man from Canada came to take an old cat home from the group.
People give these cats a home, and the cats help make people happy, too. A little girl gets a cat from the group. She sleeps with it every night. This makes her feel safe and warm. A woman sees her cat as a good friend.
The “friend” always walks behind her and makes her laugh. Do you want to take a cat from the group? Well, before doing it, you’d better learn more about keeping a cat as a pet.

We all need help from time to time. Sometimes that help comes from people whose job is to provide certain support. These people are called volunteers.
Volunteering has many benefits (好处). Of course, making money is not one of them! If you volunteer your time to help others, they’ll smile at you and say “thank you”, which is enough to let you know your effort is worth it. Besides, volunteering to help others can give you valuable experience, help you learn new skills, and even lead to making new friends.
Volunteering can also be very educational. Some teachers and community groups have developed programs that combine (联合) volunteering with educational goals. This kind of community service with teaching and learning is known as service learning.
Let’s take an example. Picking up rubbish in a park is an example of community service. Separating materials which can be recycled in your local community is an example of hands-on learning. Combining the two is an example of service learning. In such a service, people can learn the importance of volunteering and how they can make a difference to their communities.
Service learning projects not only benefit the community but are also helpful to students in many ways. You can’t remember the lessons for a long time by simply reading them in a book, but the lessons will stick with you through service learning projects. The real world will offer you hands-on experience when you volunteer.
We sometimes get help from volunteers. Volunteering has many benefits. People will |

We are going to have a competition to see which team can pick up the most rubbish. Bring your kids with you. It is a great chance to teach them to care about the environment around us.
