set, disabled, organize, interest, joy, agree, letter, so, even, only

A few months ago, I learned that the city food bank needed some volunteers. I used to be the     1     in my group pf friends. So, I sent letters to ten friends. I’d like to     2     up a group that would volunteer to make and serve dinner for the disabled people. I wanted to invite my friends to be part of the group. Almost all of my friends     3    .

One day, several of my friends brought some food and helped prepare the meal. “I got such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I saw the     4     people get the food!” said one friend. Later, another friend made a list (清单) about serving,     5     we could do quickly and easily. Now each month there are new faces that join the group. One woman     6     invited another group pf her friends to serve.

It’s hard to imagine that simple     7     asking friends to help have made a great difference. At first, I just wanted to be an organizer. Now, I change my idea. I also love to work as a volunteer, because I can get more     8     from the happy faces of the disabled people.

4 . Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）

During summer vacations, I would volunteer at the vet’s, so I’d seen a lot of dogs. Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Thin curly hair barely covered her sausage-shaped body. Her big eyes always looked surprised. And her tail looked like a rat’s.

She was brought to the vet to be put to sleep because her owners didn’t want her anymore. But I thought Minnie had a sweet personality. “No one should judge her by her looks,” I thought. So instead of putting her to sleep, the vet gave her the chance to be adopted （收养） by someone else. I advertised Minnie, in the local paper: “Funny-looking dog, well behaved, needs a loving family.”

When a young man called, I warned him that Minnie was strange looking. The boy on the phone told me that his Grandfather’s 16-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what it looked like. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive.

At last, an old car drove up in front of the vet’s. Two kids ran to the door. They took Minnie to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie.

The Grandfather carried Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair. She licked （舔） his face. It was love at first lick.

“She’s perfect!” the old man said excitedly.

I was thankful that Minnie had found the good home that she deserved （值得）.

That’s when I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.
