解析试题分析: 本文属于广告类文体。主要内容是招募愿意帮助有学习障碍的志愿工作者。在广告中提到了招募的志愿者的职位是Volunteer Social Care Assistant ，志愿者将要工作的时间，地点，待遇（没有报酬但是提供免费饭菜），以及对申请人员的具体要求和工作内容，同时要求志愿者需要有爱心，而且有类似的工作经验的人会优先录用。
【小题1】D考查推理判断。文章开头以自问自答的方式向人们发出号召，让人们参与到志愿活动中，然后在下文详细介绍了志愿者工作的地点、时间、任务、要求等，由此可知文章主要目的是宣传这项工作，故答案选D。
【小题2】A考查词义猜测。在文章开头作者提出问题：你希望通过你的工作而使别人的生活有所改变吗？然后鼓励人们加入进来，由此判断加入进来后就会实现自己的愿望，即通过自己的工作让别人的生活更加有意义，故答案选A。此题易误选答案为D，make it 意思是“成功地做到或得到”因为开头作者只是问读者是否想获得工作中的满足感，而没有提出这是一份工作招聘信息，所以D选项错误。
【小题3】D考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段内容:But your primary concern is to let them know they are valued 可知志愿者们除了帮助保护智障患者的安全外，最重要的任务就是让那些被帮助的人感到自身的价值和重要性，故答案选D。
【小题4】B 考查细节理解。根据文章末段的小标题Skill and Experience Required.和末段中 Previous care-related experience will be a great advantage for you.可知有先前类似经验的人在申请这项工作时会优先得到录用，故答案选B。

One is never too old to learn. Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t than what it is. And that’s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a fine building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.
Within that schooling framestudy, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.
Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home.
Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the table from 9 to noon. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning—in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.
Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.
【小题1】It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______.
| A．tell the nature of life learning | B．carry life learning through |
| C．learn without going to school | D．find a specially trained teacher |
| A．produces slow students with poor memories |
| B．ignores some parts of the official curriculum |
| C．fails to provide enough knowledge about life |
| D．gives little care to the quality of teaching materials |
| A．able to respect other people | B．careful to make a time table |
| C．clear about why to learn | D．cautious about any mistakes |
| A．could prevent one from running risks |
| B．teaches a kid how to avoid being laughed at |
| C．makes a kid independent of his parents |
| D．could be a road full of trials and errors |
| A．will grow without the assistance from parents |
| B．will be seperated from the negative side of society |
| C．will be driven to learn necessary life knowledge |
| D．will learn to communicate with the real society |

BLOOD DRIVE ＆ MARROW（骨髓）REGISTRATION
“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.
— Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother
Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed（诊断）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body
is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.
