Today, more and more people try to become a volunteer. The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” It is difficult to help others all the time, but if you insist in(坚持) that, you will be very happy. If you have much free time, you should take an active part in activities, such as taking care of sick people, working in homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks.
Jenny, a good friend of mine, came back from India with a new idea of being a volunteer. Helping others is also a kind of happiness. What’s more, when we help others, it can be a way of helping ourselves. When we learn how to give others, we can further our morals(道德规范). She worked in a home for sick people. She helped wash clothes and passed out lunch. She also fed the weak people and tried to cheer them up. She said that if all of us can give a helping hand as a volunteer, our world will be full of love and that will make our world nicer and nicer.
1. The word “volunteer” usually means_______.
A. helping others

A. taking care of sick people
B. working in homeless children
C. working in old people’s home

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳答案。
Today people are paying more and more attention to improving their health through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.
A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.
In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used forms of energy. The energy that you get for today’s game is from what you ate yesterday.
The best time to exercise is early in the morning.
Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.
If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll get headaches and feel tired.
The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don’t drink enough water, then you’ll probably get headaches and feel tired.
Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to improve strength.
False! Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause problems. To improve strength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.
Girls who do strength training will make their muscles big.
Wrong! We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员), but girls don’t have enough male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls.
1.You had better eat ______ before games.
A. bananas B. meat
C. beef D. chicken
2.You can ______ to improve arms’ strength.
A. exercise your arms every day
B. eat enough chicken
C. get enough male hormone
D. exercise your arms hard but rest for some time
3.The writer advises you to ______.
A. take exercise only in the morning
B. become a bodybuilder by strength training
C. drink enough water after exercise
D. make your muscles small through exercise
4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Afternoon is the best to exercise as it’s cool.
B. You can exercise at any time.
C. It’s good for both girls and boys to do strength training.
D. You should eat food full of energy today for tomorrow’s game.
5.What is this passage mainly about?
A. Reasons for sports and exercise.
B. False ideas about sports and exercise.
C. Result of games and exercise.
D. Proper time for sports and exercise.
