2 . Community service means doing volunteer jobs for the public. It teaches valuable lessons about the duties of a citizen(公民). Today, in the United States, important services are provided through thousands of organizations created to meet needs not provided by government at the local, state, and national levels. These activities help to create a sense of great care for the public.

There are close connections between community service programs and civic(公民的) education in schools. At every level of school, students can be involved in community service projects. In the primary grades, one of the purposes for students is to learn basic civic values that include fair play, respect for the opinions of others, and the rights and duties of a citizen in our society. By taking part in community service programs, very young children can learn how to solve problems, work in groups as leaders or group members, and accept the duties for their decisions and actions. Besides, children develop knowledge of their community—its leaders, organizations, social groups, and standards of civic behavior.

Community service programs can provide the chances for students to learn social study skills. These include higher-level processes and skills of information collecting, critical thinking and decision making. Community service programs also teach processes and skills for group discussions, leadership and teamwork.

Through community service programs, children can learn how people play roles in a discussion to work out the local problems. Students can volunteer to teach young children in child care centers or help in senior citizen centers.

5 . 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

I and many other people in Britain love charity (慈善) shops because we can find them on every street. The charity shops sell all kinds of things and they are very cheap.

The first charity shop was opened by Oxfam in 1947. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross Shop. There I always find children’s books, all 10 to 20 pence each. They are really cheap.

Most of the shop workers in charity shops are volunteers, though each shop has a manager and he gets some money. Every morning you see bags of things outside the shops. Some people bring and put them there without waiting for thanks. In fact, over 90% of the things in charity shops are from kind people.

3.All the money the shops get goes to charity work. Charity shops raise more than 110 million pounds every year. The money is for sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and many others. In a charity shop you can get cheap but nice things. You might even feel special while shopping.

4. If possible, let’s do something for charity together.
