In a primary school of Sichuan, kids are looking forward to cool hairstyles (发型) around a table.

Seven teachers set up a team and volunteer to cut hair for children in the school. Yang Cheng is one of them. He came to the school to be a volunteer teacher in September 2020.

“Most of the children live far from here, and they don’t go home until the weekend. It’s inconvenient (不方便) for them to have their hair cut,” said Yang. “I hope they can study and live here in a clean and beautiful way.”

“Some volunteer teachers didn’t know how to cut hair, so we just learned by ourselves from the online videos during our free time,” Yang said. “We even practiced cutting each other’s hair.” Finally, all of the teachers became good at cutting hair.

The teachers volunteer to cut hair every weekend in schools and villages. In this way, they can solve the kids’ haircut problems and help them have good hygiene (卫生) habits. “I like them very much, and I want to say thanks to them,” said a student.

The teachers also joined the “Loving Parents Team” to help those students who aren’t able to go home at weekends. They teach them how to wash clothes, so they can have a home-like feeling.

10 . There was a terrible earthquake in my country. Many people were killed and many houses fell down. After the earthquake, the newspapers reported many stories about families who were in trouble.

One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old daughter Meghan, “We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We’ll share what we have with them.”

I filled a box with some food and old clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged (鼓励) the boys to donate (捐赠) some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them in the box. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Ava, her favorite doll. She put it on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear,” I said. “You don’t have to give Ava. You love Ava so much.” Meghan said, “Ava makes me happy, Mom. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”

I was surprised. Meghan taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we don’t want anymore, but hard to give what we love.

1. Whose (谁的) toy is Ava?

A．Brad’s.

B．Brett’s.

C．Meghan’s.

B．A terrible earthquake happened in the writer’s city on Sunday.

C．The mother decided to buy some clothes for those people in trouble.

D．The mother thought it was difficult to give what we love a lot to others.

3. What kind of person do you think this writer is?

A．Quiet.

B．Helpful.

C．Strict.
