    If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

    Don’t listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It’s not true at all. More and more people in the USA volunteer（自愿）to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don’t do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

    Alice Hamilton, 17

    I’m going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It’s going to be terrific—I’ll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars, It’ll be a nice sport, and I’ll be able to do something good at the same time.

    Jason Moore, 18

    This summer, I’m going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They’ll teach me what to do, so I’ll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

    Trish Anderson, 16

    I’m going to teach kids who have trouble reading. I’ll work for a program called “Reading for Life”. Every day, I’m going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.

    His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day late in the afternoon, while working to support his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby pond(池塘).He dropped his tools and ran to the pond. There, up to his neck in the water, was a terrified boy, crying and struggling to free himself. Obviously the boy did not know how to swim. Fleming jumped into the pond and quickly swam toward the boy. He saved the boy who could have been a terrible death.

    The next day, a very cool carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s house. A well-dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Fleming saved the day before.

    “I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my son’s life.”

    “No, I can’t accept any payment for what I did,” the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.

    At that moment, the farmer’s own son came to the door of the farmhouse, confused by who was visiting them.

    “Is that your son?” the nobleman asked.

    “Yes,” the farmer replied proudly.

    “I’ll make you a deal. Let me take him with me. I promise you that I will give him a good education. If the boy is anything like his father, he’ll grow up to be a man you can be proud of.”

    And he did. In time, Fleming’s son graduated from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London and went on to become a famous doctor.

    Years later, the nobleman’s son became seriously ill. Who saved him? The farmer’s son did.

    It’s important to help people no matter how successful you are in life. You never know when you are going to be the one who needs the help.

    1.What happened to Fleming one afternoon?

    A. He fell into a pond by accident.

    B. He fell asleep near a pond.

    A. He took the place of the nobleman’s son.

    B. He got a college education.

    C. He became a famous doctor.

    任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，在答卷上相应的横线上填写答案，每空限填一词。

    In UK , Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere. They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe. But that’s not all they do . They also catch people doing very stupid or smart things.

    One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale. She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street. All of sudden , she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stops to pick up Lola and drops her into a large dustbin . Lola was saved fifteen hours later. And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal . She was fined ( 罚款)￡250 and was not allowed to own pets for five years.

    Another video shows “ Britain’s drunkest man” . He’s been at a party at London’s Savoy Hotel. And he’d obviously had a few too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a. m. , he was kicked out for being too drunk . So, he decided to walk home. On the way , CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly… A Savoy Hotel waiter said, “ It’s amazing he didn’t hurt himself badly.”

    Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn’t have any money to make a music video. So , they came up with an unbelievable idea. They set up their instruments ( 乐器) and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras. And then, according to the English Freedom of Information Act , they asked for a copy of all the footages ( 视频) , which they edited. The result is that a totally new music video was made, and it didn’t cost them any money.
