Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can make a person’s life better.

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect chance to encourage others to become a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they don’t have enough time to do volunteer work.

The following tips can help if you have some of those worries;

Start out slowly. Don’t add too much pressure (压力). Even a few hours a mouth can make a big difference in someone’s life.

Choose an organization (组织) with the same interest and common values.

Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience. Remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right one.

Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives.

A community in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, has a “mobile library” with the help of community planners. It allows people to enjoy reading at their doorsteps (门槛) and brings great convenience to people.

The mobile library is a tricycle. The yellow tricycle carries a pink bookcase. The bright color catches people’s eye easily. On the bookcase, there are lots of books. Every weekend, the mobile library goes around the community. People can give away or read books.

“Now, people are often too busy to go to the library and read,” Lu Jiayi, a community planner, said. “So we bring books to their doorsteps and hope they can enjoy reading instead of (而不是) spending lots of time on mobile phones.”

To start the mobile library project, the community planners invited eight families in the community to work together. They designed (设计) the library, fixed the tricycle, painted the bookcase, and picked books. Parents and children of the families worked together and knew each other better.

Now the mobile library has hundreds of books. Many people in other communities give away books to the mobile library and come to read. “I really enjoy reading here. I often bring my sister along with me” a child said.

The mobile library is a place to read, learn and relax. Many people like it very much and they say that the mobile library brings parents and children closer, and makes the community a warmer place.

4 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A schoolbag hanging outside is a secret code (暗语) between the driver and students living in a small village in Chongqing.

When the driver sees a schoolbag     1     (hang) on the door of an old house, he stops and honks the horn (鸣喇叭) to answer the “code”. A boy then     2     (come) out and gets on the bus.

The boy’s grandmother looks after him     3     his parents work far from home. The boy, a     4     (nine) grade student, has to go back to school in the city every Sunday. To catch the bus, he and the driver, Cheng Lin, made the special “code”. The boy’s parents were deeply touched when they     5     (hear) the news. They showed their     6     (thank) to Mr. Cheng.

There are a large number     7     left-behind children on this route. Mr. Cheng pays more attention to Fridays and Sundays which are     8     (important) than other days because the children travel back and forth to school on the days.

Many people see Mr. Cheng as     9     good driver because of his love and care for his young passengers. But Mr. Cheng thinks it’s     10     (he) job and he just does what he should do. The schoolbag is their code, packed with love inside.

5 . Chen Lin is a doctor who is from Hengyang. After finishing his study at the university, he works in an office for a large organization. And this job can sometimes be exciting and dangerous. Chen Lin works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生). This organization was set up by some French doctors in 1971. Since then, MSF has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have gone through wars and illnesses.

Now about 3,000 doctors and nurses work for MSF. And over 27,000 doctors have volunteered for MSF so far. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go almost anywhere in the world, and of course, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF's work is in Africa. When MSF chooses doctors for a task, they have to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks and become experienced, they might be sent on an emergency (紧急的) task following a disaster (灾难), such as an earthquake.

But why would doctors leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? According to Chen Lin, the experience you have is a great help in your life. Besides, you need to keep an open mind and learn to get along well with the people you meet. Most importantly, at each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives.

1. Chen Lin thinks the job at MSF can sometimes be __________.
2. MSF was set up by __________.
3. MSF received the __________ in 1999.
4. When MSF chooses doctors for a task, they have to go for at least __________.
