The UN has recognized the contributions of volunteers on Dec.5, International Volunteer Day. Here, the four things are offered to consider before taking the leap into overseas volunteering.
Choose your organization carefully
1. volunteering may be a fundraising mechanism(筹资机制) for a development project. For others, volunteering is fundamental to their programs, and those serving take on professional roles in longer-term development.
2.
Volunteers want to help and make a difference, but most know this isn’t a purely selfless act. You will learn new skills, broaden your horizons and come to better understand yourself and the world. You want to help reduce global poverty or protect the natural world, and that’s all OK. 3.? Have you always wanted to travel, but not as a tourist? Work with kids? When you understand your motivations, you’ll be in a better position to choose the option that is right for you.
Work alongside the local community
Often times, travelers volunteer in isolation(隔离) from the local community in which they are working in. 4. This enables you to ensure you are committing to a project that promotes long term and sustainable change.
A volunteer trip is just the beginning
5.. Further ignite(点燃) the global change maker in you by taking your experience one step further when you return home. Spread the message of your transformative experience to others, helping to spark the change within them.
A. But what else
B. Know why you are going
C. Believe you know it all
D. Communities always welcome volunteers
E. Volunteer travel is a life-changing experience
F. Some organizations require you to pay your own way, and often include a fee
G. Make sure to travel with organizations that have strong partnerships with local communities

The World Trade Organization (WTO) founded on January 1, 1994, aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes (争端) can be settled.
In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well-known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs (关税) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War II.
As time went by it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks—the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994. the so-called Uruguay Round finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property (知识产权).
Even after seven years of talks and 22500 pages of agreements there were still problems, especially the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services.
The WTO. with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.
1.Compared with the GATT, the WTO _____.
A．can do better to settle disputes in more areas of international trade
B．got its members to sign the agreements more easily
C．has got too many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectively
D．didn’t pay enough attention to services and intellectual property
2.In the new century the WTO will _____.
A．take the place of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund
B．have new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property
C．make complete new rules in every area of international trade
D．have more members and do much more to settle more problems
3.The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means _____.
A．weak points B．changes C．strong points D．improvements
4.The best title for the passage is _____.
A．WTO—Another Name for GATT
B．WTO—an International Service Organization
C．WTO—One of the World’s Strongest Economic Organizations
D．WTO—the World’s Most Powerful Economic Organization
