Volunteering gives you a good chance to change lives,including your own. If you’re feeling amazed by the news of a disaster,volunteering to help can be a great way to make you comfortable. If you’d like to support a cause but can't afford to donate (捐献) money,you can donate your time instead.
Helping others in need is such an important part of the AmericansJ way of life that many high schools ask their students to spend time volunteering in order to graduate.
Unlike school,with volunteering,you have to get to choose what really interests you and who (or what) is most deserving (值得) of your time. Here are some ideas to get you to start：
Help kids learn and grow. Become a Big Brother or Big Sister,or volunteer for an after-school sports program. Special Olympic games and events are great ways to get to know special-needs kids.
Help the environment. Join a conservation group and help out with river preservation (保护). Take part in a local park cleanup day. You could also help out in a park office or education center.
If you have more than one thing you love,find a way to put the two together. For example,if you love kids and are great at art,visit your local children's hospital and offer (提供) art activities for young patients.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
1. What do many high schools in America ask their students to do in order to graduate?
2. What can you do if you love kids and are good at art?
3. How can you feel better when you hear the news of a disaster?
4. What's the main idea of the passage?

★ Let it out Have you ever had a good cry and felt better after? That's because crying is a physical outlet that allows us to move through emotion.
★If you are feeling sad right now,read this then to honor how you feel. You are feeling sad for a good reason. Sometimes we can change the situation that's making us feel sad and sometimes we can't.

Only when you touch the depth of your feelings will you start to push your way off the bottom to resurface a more rounded and wiser person,ready to smile and feel joyful again.

There is a fish called the black spot angelfish,which can change from female (雌性) to male (雄性) . No,it cannot do it by simply wishing to become male. The change happens for a specific reason.

Who is the one that helps me grow up,gives me advice,takes care of me,shows me the right way,always supports me greatly,gives me a birthdate and does many many things just for me? It's my mother. I love her and really admire her for many reasons.
Perhaps,the thing makes me admire her the most is that she is the first teacher of mine. She has been teaching me everything since I was young until now,and for the future.

Now,she is still a best friend. I think she is the greatest psychologist that I have known. Sometimes when I was down because of failures in my life,I would go to meet her to ask for some advice. As I expect,I always felt better after that.
I also admire her for her personality which is a mix of honesty and strong faith in god,cause and effect. “ Take us by ourselves into others’ position before doing anything ,” she said And she is also a predictor. She can know the future in her dreams. She ever told me that she had found out my father before seeing him. Besides,she was sure that I would be a boy before getting pregnant. Oh my god!It's strange. I can not do the same thing.

We often ask for information or help,especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English ,“Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English,but the first could sound rude. It's important to use correct language,but sometimes we need to learn how to be polite.
In English,just like in Chinese,we change the way we speak when talking with different people. If you say to your teacher ,“Where is my book?” This will sound rude. But if you say ,“Excuse me,Mr West. Do you know where my book is?^ Your question will sound much more polite. Of course it might be all right to say “Where is my book?” in some situations,perhaps with people you know well.
“Peter,give me your pen. ”can sound rude in English. Usually in English,polite questions are longer such as “Could you please. or “Can I ask. It sounds more polite to say. “Peter,could you please give me your pen?,? Sometimes we might even need to spend some time when you stop a stranger in the street. We might first say ,“Excuse me. Can you help me?” or “I'm sorry to trouble you but. .. ”before asking them for help.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct (直接) . However,if you want to be a polite person,you should learn about language etiquette (规矩) . It is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English,or any other language you wish to speak.(北京市朝阳区)
