We have all heard the saying ,"It's better to give" than to receive. "Think about it for a moment. What does it mean to you? Of course getting a gift is nice. Giving ,though ,can be just as good. Sometimes a gift of our time is even more appreciated. There are many ways you can give the gift of time. One is to volunteer.
As a volunteer, you can learn new things, make friends, and know that you are helping someone. Here are some simple ways that you can volunteer..
Animal shelters are always looking for volunteers to walk pets, and help clean and care for them.
Organize a clean-up program in your neighborhood.
Hospitals often have programs that kids can help with to cheer up patients.
Donate used toys and books to libraries, shelters or churches.
These are just a few examples – visit one of the many volunteer sites online for many more ideas. Why not ask your morn or dad to volunteer too, and make it a family activity?
Once you volunteer, you will quickly learn that giving has its own rewards(回报). You won't get paid, but the feeling you get from helping others is much more special than getting money. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed(失望的)!

Will you trust your friends if you can’t see anything? If you are falling, do you believe they will catch you and help you stand up? Our teacher helped us to get the answer.
One day, Mr. Morrie came into the classroom and said he had a game for us to try. He divided us into two groups. One student from the first group, stood in front of us with his eyes closed, and then fell backwards(向后地). The second group stood behind him. Before he fell on the floor, they should catch him and not let him get hurt. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We were afraid that they wouldn’t catch us and we would hit the floor. So we didn’t move. We just stood there and laughed in embarrassment.
Finally, one student, a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl called Sarah, decided to move. She crossed her arms in front of her body, closed her eyes, and slowly fell backwards. She looked quiet but brave.
For a moment, I was sure that she was going to fall on the floor. But before she hit the floor, the other students caught her, held her and finally helped her stand up.
“Whoa!!” We were all surprised, and also encouraged(受鼓舞的). The girl was happy, too. Seeing this, Morrie smiled and said to the girl, “When you close your eyes, you can’t see anything. You won’t feel safe. When you are falling, the feeling gets stronger. You are not sure whether you will hit the cold, hard floor or the warm, soft hands of your friends. But if you are brave enough to trust them, they will not let you down(使人失望).”
小题1:   What is Morrie?

小题2:   Why didn’t the students move at first?

Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)
He was just an ordinary postman. Day after day, he shuttled(穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him, life
was without waves.

  One day, he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance. It was a little stone that tripped him up(绊倒). He observed the stone that had embarrassed(难堪) him, finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes, this stone was like a lost jewel(宝石) covered with dust. The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone’s arrival, his day was lightened. He suddenly had a bold thought—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How magnificent it will be!
  His ordinary life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail, but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds.
  Gradually, his small bag couldn’t hold his stones anymore and he needed to use a wheelbarrow to carry them. People didn’t understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones.
  After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle. During the daytime, he passed along the dreams of others; and during the nighttime, he built his own dream. No one was willing to join in. But the postman was unmoved, still happily building his castle. Because he knew, the dream and the castle only belonged to him.
  After 20 years of working day and night, the postman’s dream castle was finally completed. It was a magnificent castle just as he had imagined. It was a miracle arising from the ordinary.
  This is a real story. The postman’s name is Xue Waller. The stone castle has become a famous tourist attraction in France, which is called“ ideal palace of Ferdinand Cheval.”At the entrance of the stone castle, there is a sentence—“I want to know how far a dream stone can go.”
