6 . Half a century ago, a boy called William Lindsay in Britain had never thought that a dream of his would drive him to spend ten years in a foreign country. When in primary school, he loved studying maps. The saw-tooth (锯齿般的) line in China caught his eye. He decided to visit the line, that is, the Great Wall of China.

Driven by this dream, Lindsay set off on his Great Wall journey in 1984. However, he didn’t realize its difficulty. Only a few days later, he became ill and had to give up his plan. After returning to Britain, he began to exercise more often. He even learned some basic Chinese.

With full preparation, Lindsay set off again in 1987. The hike took him about 160 days in total. This tall man encountered difficulties when he was found to be walking alone along the Yulin Great Well in Shaanxi. “Where is he from? What is he doing here?” the local villagers wondered. Finally, the police came. Lindsay tried to explain his love for the Wall but without success. As a result, he had to leave.

Nothing could stop his strong will. One year later, Lindsay continued his journey from Inner Mongolia. After many difficult days of hiking along the Great Wall, he was finally able to arrive at Shanhaiguan, a major pass at the eastern end of the Wall and the end of his great journey.

Through this trip, Lindsay developed a deeper understanding of the Great Wall. Since then, he has made great efforts to protect it. Later, he organized more than 120 volunteers to pick up litter on the Great Wall. Lindsay soon realized the difficulty of collecting all the litter on the Wall. He started to give speeches around the country and began looking for more volunteers.

Lindsay’s wife and two sons have now also joined him in protecting the Great Wall. The British man said he would spend the rest of his years in China—for his family and for the Wall.

Many teenagers want to look cool. But not everyone can afford to keep up with the changing fashion trends (潮流). Chloe Murray,     1     eighth-grader at Jefferson Middle School in the US, realized this problem and started a charitable clothes closet (慈善衣橱)     2     (help) her peers.

Volunteering is a great way to support an organization and make a difference in your community. It can also be a chance to meet new people and learn new skills. 1 And what should we plan for? Here’s a guide for beginners.

Step 1: Think about why you want to volunteer.

Do you want to help the world, or your community? Do you want to build your own skills, make new friends, and learn? Do you love what you do? Do you want to share your gifts with others or give something back? 2 That can help you to choose the right direction for your volunteer work.

Step 2: Choose an organization that is meaningful to you.

If you feel strongly about literacy (读写), for example, volunteer at your local library or find out if there is an organization of volunteer tutors (家教) in your area. There are organizations doing all sorts of work. It is important that you choose something that you feel meaningful.

Step 3: Start small.

If you already have a busy school life, volunteer your time for an hour or two a week, or perhaps one day a month. 3 Then, if you find you enjoy the work and have more time to do it, take on more time by time.

Step 4: Get training.

If there is a training course, attend it. If not, talk to the group leaders and other volunteers about their experiences. 4

Step 5

Volunteer work sometimes includes unpleasant tasks, difficult workers, busy days, or bad management. However, try to keep on doing it. You are sure to meet a better yourself and the world one day.

A. Think about these kinds of questions.
B. You will be surprised by how much you can do in even a little bit of time.
C. Get to know others in the organization.
D. But how do we go about volunteering?
