1 . How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that’s what’s happening in my community (社区). There’s a park in my community, but some people want to turn it into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it’s a bad idea.
First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn’t fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.
Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down (拆卸). This is a waste of time and money. It’s also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swines (秋千), for example, will probably just end up as litter (废弃物).
Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract (吸引) lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won’t have anywhere to go and they won’t have anything to do. This means they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than (而不是) get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn’t it be better to give them something to do at the park?
Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护) it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can’t afford (负担得起) to join a golf club? That means the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.
Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest (建议) we have a community meeting before plans go any further.

2 . Buffy, Debby, Jamie, Albert and Matt are talking something together in a group on WeChat. Here is what they say.
| Buffy: Hey, guys! I have a lot of things that I don’t need, so I’m thinking about having a yard sale. What do you think? Debby: Having a yard sale is not easy. You have to collect things, put prices on them, put them out on tables and then wait for people to come. And usually you have to sell things at VERY low prices. For all that time and work, you make very little money. Why not just sell your things online for higher prices? Jamie: Debby’s right. But I think it’d be even better to just give your things to people who need them. I just sent out a lot of things last week. Albert: Hey, I love yard sales! It’s a great chance to make big money if you choose the right day. In my experience, Saturday is the best. Matt: I agree with Albert. You can make money and meet interesting people. I made some good friends at my last yard sale. |
1. Why does Buffy start the chatting (聊天)?
| A．To ask her friends for advice. |
| B．To sell things to the group members. |

Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice.
Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or sister at an after-school care centre. You can help little kids to learn or play with them.
Give back during the holidays. Serve dinner to the homeless, volunteer at an old people’s home, or give out toys to kids.
Help at an animal shelter (庇护所). Most shelters need volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise. And when you’re walking dogs you get some exercise, too.
Protect the environment. Take part in a park “clean up day”. Plant a tree. Join a group to work together to protect a river.
Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you make sick people happy, you also feel happy. If you have some hobbies, find a way to do them all. For example, if you love kids and are good at painting and dancing, visit a children’s hospital and teach them these interesting things.

Eric: You mean volunteers pay for a cup of coffee for someone poor to have it later?
Josh: Yeah. A cup of coffee is not much, but on cold winter days like today, it might warm them up a little. And maybe their hearts, too.
Eric: But will Flora Cafe really give this cup of coffee to anyone later?
Josh: Come on. I’ve known the shopkeeper well. He’s an honest man. He’s got a blackboard in the shop that says how many cups have been paid for and how many have been given out.
Eric: But how will he know who to give? Anyone can ask for it, even if they’re not poor.
Josh: True, but then I guess he’ll just have to believe in people.
Eric: Perhaps. But will poor people go and ask for free coffee? Won’t they worry about losing face?
Josh: Why do you always say things like that?
Eric: Well, it may happen.
Josh: Yeah, I know. But I still think it’s a good thing to do, and it gets people to care about others.

6 . If man’s best friend is a dog, then who is a dog’s best friend? That would be Rover, Glow, Ivan or Raina. These four dogs donated (捐献) blood (血液) to other dogs. And they did it without having to travel far from home. They visited an animal bloodmobile (捐血车).
Similar to the Red Cross vehicles for men, the University of Pennsylvania's animal bloodmobile goes to where the donors are to make it easier to give. Kym Marryott is the manager of Penn’s Animal Blood Bank. “You don’t really think about it until you need it,” Marryott said. “Just like us, dogs need blood, too.”
However, not every dog can donate blood. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be younger than 8 years old. About 150 dogs take part in the program. Each donates three or four pints (品脱) a year, which can help animals in need. One pint can save at least three dogs. Just like people, the dogs can get a snack and a heart-shaped “U of P Blood Donor” sticker after giving. They also receive free dog food to take home.
Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old black dog, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week. “I was excited that she had the right blood which could help another dog out,” she said—“We’ll do it again.”

7 . Walking around Nanting village in Guangzhou, one can see bright flowers “blooming (绽放)” on street corners and walls. But they are actually made of felt (羊毛毡) and have been “planted” on the grass. The gardener is a college student Luo Shengtian.
“I’m sad about the broken corners when I’m riding my bicycle. They can hurt children, too.” So Luo decided to make felt flowers. Onsite, he sticks clay to the broken area, puts the flower in the clay and then adds green felt to make grass and help fix the flower in place.
He once saw that a wall of a shop was broken, so he and his friend fixed it using another of his creations. He was a little worried as the shop was a private place, and he worried the owner might not like the flower. However, the owner was pleased and surprised.
Later, many volunteers wanted to join in his activities. Luo set up a WeChat group which now has over 200 members. Luo taught his flower making skills to them.
He plans to create a national map to show where other flowers have been spread before he graduates in June, 2022. The project has helped him to learn more about himself. “I was rather shy.
