If an old man suddenly falls down in front of you, will you help him? Most of us would choose to help him     1     we know it’s the right thing to do. But others might refuse     2     (do) so. In my opinion, we should not only think about     3     (we) but others as well.

I’ve had an experience like this before. I saw a woman walking with a baby in her arms while it     4     (rain) heavily. They were both wet because they don’t have     5     umbrella. I held out my umbrella for them     6     (quick) and I walked several miles with them till they got home. The woman thanked me a lot for     7     I did for her. Offering help to people     8     trouble can make them feel really warm. And perhaps one day we’ll become the ones who need help. So why don’t we just reach out a helpful hand whenever we can? The more we trust and help each other, the     9     (good) our world will be.

It’s time for us to show our     10     (kind) to others.

People do volunteer work for many reasons. Let’s look at     1     top reasons. After each reason, there is an example. Check the box     2     the example matches what you want to get from the volunteer experience.

You want to help at a place that is important to you. For example, you might choose to help     3     club because you want it to be a better place.

You want to meet others. When I     4     to the town I now live in, I volunteered at my son’s school because I wanted to meet other people with     5    .

You want to learn something new. My son has always liked going to live plays, but he was afraid to be on stage. He now volunteers     6     one theater. He wants to get some     7     and learn about stage experience slowly.

Which did you check? Your reason or reasons for     8     a volunteer will help guide you along your way.     9     you didn’t check any. That is fine. There are other reasons why you want to become a volunteer. No matter what the reason is, becoming a volunteer will open new doors for you and may     10     your life, and you will feel like you really make a difference!

9 . Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service (社区服务). Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question: “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question. The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature. I could not understand what he was doing at first, so I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.

A teacher stopped this awkward (尴尬的) silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents.

She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.

I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.

Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people.
