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.

Her school supported the idea too. The school let her use     3     (room) for the project. So far, more than half of Murray’s classmates     4     (be) members of the project.

When the charitable clothes closet, Chloe’s Closet, opened, it is full     5     trendy clothes for girls and boys to help students look their best. Confidence is     6     (true) a big problem in middle school, especially when it comes to clothing.

You may wonder where the clothes are from. Many people from the school’s community and neighboring schools give away used and new clothes. The clothes closet is only open after school. Students can “buy” these clothes by making “money” when     7     hand in their schoolwork on time or take part in a school activity. In March this year, a large number of clothes     8     (sell) to students. For most children, these clothes are     9     (valuable) ones that they have ever had.

“    10     children meet their basic needs, such as clothing, they will be better able to focus on the learning material,” said Shannon Arko, a language teacher at the school, about the closet. “Feeling good about yourself translates into a better learning experience overall.”

Have you heard of any volunteer activities like planting trees, cleaning up the community and looking after the old people? But do you know what is volunteer travel? It is a new and popular volunteer activity among young people.

The main purpose of volunteer travel is to take part in service activities to help others. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring.and cultural activities. The volunteers may get free or cheaper accommodation (住处), and meals because of their help.

It seems that these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transport. However, volunteer travel started in the 1960s, when Alee Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization.

Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. But so far, more volunteer trips have taken place in the volunteers’ own countries. Volunteer projects in the countryside are now attracting more visitors living in the cities.

By doing voluntary work while traveling, travelers may make a real and positive influence on the world. The services volunteers provide can reduce the costs for the communities they serve. Another advantage of volunteer travel is that it helps people living in cities experience the life in the countryside. For those who are tired of city life but can’t move to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a way. In this way, travelers have a chance to relax themselves from their busy lives.

8 . Aru Village is located by Lake Ra’og Co in Xizang, China. Many years ago, people from the village used rafts (筏子) to go across the lake and pick up rubbish in the water. The villagers revered (敬畏) the environment, so they started this practice to keep their lake clean.

Later, a bridge was established over the lake, so villagers no longer needed to use rafts to cross it. But the idea of cleaning the lake stayed. Tsering Dondrup, a village official who used to go to school on rafts, knew how the older villagers picked up rubbish in the lake. He and other officials did a lot to help protect the lake and its ecosystem.

The village has 43 households with 227 people now. A team of 44 people from the village are paid by the government to take turns to help keep the lake and nearby forests clean. They are also in charge of cleaning the roads and the area around the lake. They collect the rubbish and take it to the right place to be recycled.

Dampa, a 46-year-old man from the team, started picking up rubbish in the lake 20 years ago.“As part of this team, I can make about 3, 500 yuan a year. I’m happy to do my part in keeping the lake clean,” he said.

Now, Aru Village has become a model village for eco-friendly actions. Lake Ra’og Co gets about 300,000 visitors every year. Village official Xu Cong says the support of both the villagers and the government has helped maintain (保持) the beauty of the area.

“That is the tradition of our family.” her grandmother explained. “Every day, for generations, we complete one kind act and take it down. No matter how ________ it is.”

Maya was interested. “Why?”

Her grandmother smiled, “It is a belief that through continuous kind actions, we can create a life of ________. Every day, we find a moment of light through offering help to others, even when the world around us is dark.
