I had a picnic one day with my sister. We both like to ride her motorcycle and that day we rode

it to the nearest park. We bought some coffee and cakes, and then we enjoyed our food. Within a

few hours, the sky changed and looked ready for a heavy rain. We packed everything and were

ready to go. My sister, who was sitting on a bench suddenly was very still and couldn't talk to

me.She couldn't move. Her eyes were rolling and she was about to lose consciousness(知觉). I held

her in my arms and asked if she wanted to rest. She didn’t answer and only said“Sorry.”

It started to rain and I didn't know what to do. She was fighting to stay aware but her skin was

pale and her eyes were acting strangely. Suddenly, from nowhere, a woman on a bicycle appeared.

wearing a raincoat." She isn't looking good. Do you want me to call an ambulance(救护车)?”“Yes,

please,yes!”I begged.

She did. Struggling with the rain, she managed to call some policemen, who quickly helped me

carry my sister to a safer place. The ambulance arrived and we went to a hospital where she was

treated in time and she came to life the next morning after some rest and medical help.

An interesting fact was that I guessed the woman in the raincoat was a doctor or a nurse. I later

learned from one of the police officers who told me: “No.She was an ordinary person who took

Huckleberry Finn didn’t have a home because his mother died and his father, who was often

drunk, rarely stayed in one place. For a while, Huck lived with a kind old lady called Widow

Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson. He liked Widow Douglas, but he was unhappy that she wanted

him to wear clean clothes and went to school.

Huck was pleased when his father returned and took him to live in a hut in the woods. But

soon Mr Finn started hitting the boy and locking him inside the hut when he went out. Huck ran

away to Jackson Island, where he happened to meet Jim, Miss Watson's slave, who was hiding

there. After a few days Huck dressed as a girl and went into town to find out what was happening.

He discovered that people thought Jim was on the island and that there was a reward of $300 for

anyone who found him. So Huck and Jim decided it's time to leave.

They got on the raft as fast as they could, put all their things on it, and moved off down the

river. When it began to get light, they hid. When it was dark again, they traveled on. On the fifth

night they passed St Louis, and they decided to go on down to Illinois. There were no slaves in

Illinois.

They slept for most of that day and they began their journey again when it was dark. After

some time, they saw lights on the Illinois side of the river and Jim got very excited.

After that, they went on down the river. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at them very fast, Jim

and Huck jumped off the raft into the water.

When Huck came up out of the water. He couldn't see Jim anywhere. He called out his name

again and again,but there was no answer.“He's dead!” Huck thought. Slowly, Huck swam to the side

of the river and got out. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at him. They made a terrible

noise and someone called from the house “Who’ s there?”

“George Jackson”, Huck answered quickly."I’ve fallen off a river boat.”

Well,the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took Huck in and gave him

some new clothes and a good meal. He told them that his family were all dead, so they said he

could stay with them as long as he wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so

he stayed.

" You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it. "This

was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse(长曲

棍球)cub.

I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping

up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the

heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad

coaching a team that his kids aren't even on..... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,

"Alright. Yes, I'll do it.”

I' m secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities

among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects

money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an

invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are

relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can

be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.

Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That

relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more:

Connecting to the community( 社区 ) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services

provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.

In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit.

However,if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my

motivation lies?

12. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?

A.She knows little about the club. B. She isn't good at sports.

C. She just doesn't want to volunteer. D. She's unable to meet her schedule.

13. What does the underlined phrase "tug at the heartstrings”in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Encourage teamwork. B. Appeal to feelings.

C. Promote good deeds. D. Provide advice

14. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?

A. She gets interested in lacrosse. B. She is proud of her kids.

C. She'll work for another season. D. She becomes a good helper.

15. Why does the author like doing work?

A. It gives her a sense of duty. B. It makes her very happy.

C. It enables her to work hard. D.It brings her material rewards.
