The 2010 Shanghai World Expo has been open for several months and there are large numbers of volunteers serving there.

    Chen Chuan，a 19- year-old student at Fudan University, is usually fast asleep at 6 am. But over the May 1 holiday, he was rising early to eat breakfast and    41    answer questions like，“Where can I find the toilet?” Such is the life of a Shanghai World Expo volunteer. But Chen and his 72,000 colleagues(同事)aren't complaining,   42   ，they’re trying not to. “Volunteering is   43   work，”Chen said，“but it makes me feel happy. ”

    Other student volunteers have   44   feelings. Wang Lin an 18-year-old volunteer from Chongqing University，told us about trying to explain to a tourist why a line to visit a pavilion was so long. When the tourist suddenly got quite angry, Wang became upset   45   being shouted at. Wang said. “I didn’t expect we would have to face so many difficulties in our service. But I know serving is about giving   46  . ”Still，the very next day, Wang received a reward(嘉奖)when she helped a lost child   47   his parents. “The happy smiles and their gratitude(感谢)made me feel so   48   ，” Wang said. “That’s   49  I now always smile to others，even if they don’t look happy. Smiling makes me happy. ”

      50   their green and white clothes，people call volunteers “Little Cabbage”. Wang likes this nickname(绰号). “We’re green, we are fresh，just like the vegetable，”Wang said.

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother thought for a while. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”

“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was brought to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and from time to time she looked angrily at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I wanted to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I said something about skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.

Bob was happy. He was at a new school, and the other students were friendly. “Hi, Bob!” They said. But some students said, “Hi, Peter!” Bob didn’t understand. He asked another student, “ Why do some students call me Peter?”
“Oh, that is easy to answer,” the student said. “Peter was a student here last year. Now, he goes to a different school. You like Peter. Some students think that you are Peter.”
Bob wanted to meet Peter. He got Peter’s address(地址) from a student and went to Peter’s house. Peter opened the door. Bob couldn’t believe his   eyes. He looked really like Peter! Bob and Peter had the same color eyes and the same smile. They had the same black hair. They also had the same birthday.
