Indonesia is my mother’s home and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering（做志愿者） would be a good and fun way to do so.
I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.
Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting, but I was very nervous. As time went by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was really the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities(责任).
Many children were shy at first. But when they felt relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence(自信).
For the children who need more help，The Education Program（TEP） will collect donations(募捐) to help them.
As a volunteer, I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month to help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors(资助者). This was a way for the children to communicate(交流) with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children’s happy fac es, I had a great sense of pleasure.

Today, roller skating(滑旱冰) is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, people never tried skating on wheels（轮）. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin.

He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance(入场) at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would get a lot of attention(注意) if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, He decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating.

Cats and dogs are the most popular pets in America. So it is not surprising that we can find different sentences (句子)about cats in a language book when we learn English.
Unlike dogs, it is difficult to teach cats to do something. Cats are not like sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding(放牧) cats”.
Everybody knows cats and mice are “good friends”. Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches, such as a mouse. So if your daughter offers something sweet to her little brother and then takes it away when he reaches for it, you can use "play cat and mouse". What will children do in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? They are sure to make as much noise as possible."When the cat's away, the mice will play" has the same meaning.
There are a lot more sayings about cats. Americans might say "the cat's miaow" to describe（描述） something that is the best or finest. “A fat car" means a person with lo of money. If you tell about something secret（秘密）, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might think 'the cat has got your tongue(舌头)". Also, you may often hear the sentence “Curiosity(好奇) killed the cat.” That means caring too much about things that are not your business(与你无关之事) might lead to serious problems.
1.What may you say if you want someone to keep the secret for you?
A. Curiosity killed the cat. B. Has the cat got your tongue.
C. Don’t let the cat out of the bag. D. Let’s play cat and mouse.
2.Which of the following can we use “Curiosity killed the cat” to describe?
A. Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry.
B. Someone made a big noise as soon as the teacher left the classroom.
C. Someone won the first in the final test and he felt very excited.
D. Someone got the newest iPhone as a present from his parents.
3.What can we learn from the article?
A. We can use “A fat cat” to describe a fat man or a person who eats too much.
B. There are more sentences about cats than those about dogs.
C. It’s more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats.
D. “Play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on sb”.
4.Where can you find the article?
