If volunteering begins at an early age, it can become part of a child’s life — something he or she may just expect and want to do. It can teach them:

A sense of responsibility (责任感). By volunteering, children and teens learn how to be on time for a job, do their best, and be proud of the results. And they also learn that, in the end, we are responsible for the well-being of our whole community (社区).

The knowledge that one person can make a difference. A wonderful message for a child is that he or she is important enough to have an effort on someone or something else.

The benefit of sacrifice (奉献的好处). By giving up a toy to a less fortunate child, a child learns that it’s good to sacrifice sometimes. Cutting back on playing time to help clean up a street tells kids that there are important things other than ourselves and our needs.

Tolerance (容忍). Working in community service can bring kids and teens in touch with people of different backgrounds, abilities, ages, and education. They will likely find that even the most diverse people can be united by common values.

Job skills. Community service can help young people decide on their future careers. Learning to work as a team member, taking on leadership roles, setting project goals — these are all skills that can be learned by volunteering and will serve a child well in any future career.

How to fill free time wisely. If a child isn’t interested in traditional after-school activities, community service can be a wonderful choice.

1.You help a student who can’t go to school because of money. That is about _____.

A.a sense of responsibility B.job skills

C.tolerance D.the benefit of sacrifice

A.a sense of responsibility

D.the benefit of sacrifice

3.The underlined word “diverse” (in Para. 5) probably means “_____”.

A.different B.interesting

C.personal D.selfish

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.What to do as a volunteer

Singing had always been an important part of Gloria Estefan’s life. “Since I was three years old, I sang. I sang everything,” Gloria said. “Cubans,” she added, “are a musical people”.

Gloria was born in Cuba in 1957. Her family left the country just before Fidel Castro came to power. In Miami, where the family settled, many people did not accept Cuban immigrants. In first grade, she spoke little English, but she worked hard to learn the language. Six months after she entered school, she won an award for reading in English!

When Gloria was ten, her father returned from the Vietnam War. Soon, the family realized he wasn’t well. They soon found out that he was badly ill. Her mother went back to teaching at school to support the family. Gloria cared for her father and her younger sister.

She still made the honor roll, and she still had her music, but Gloria was lonely. However, when the band leader Emilio Estefan came to speak at her high school, Gloria sang for him. He asked her to join his band. It was the beginning of the Miami Sound Machine.

Within a few months, the Miami Sound Machine was the top band in Miami. In 1978 Gloria and Emilio married.

At first, the Miami Sound Machine was known only in Miami. Then the band signed with CBS Records. Estefan and his band became stars.

Since then, the Miami Sound Machine has sold millions of records. Gloria has done more than just singing when Hurricane Andrew hit central Florida in 1992. She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised $2 million for the people who suffered in the hurricane. “We needed a party after that disaster,” she said.

Gloria said, “You have to stay true to the music you really love to do. There will always be people who will tell you, ‘that won’t work.’ You’ve got to be firm in spite of difficulties. Stick to it—that’s the main thing.”

1.Gloria’s father was ill_________.

A．when they settled down in Miami.

B．before they left their home country

C．after he returned from Vietnam War

D．as soon as she finished high school

2.According to the passage, probably Gloria did the following excep________ .

A．organizing an all-star concert for Hurricane victims

B．winning an award for reading in English

C．teaching at school to support the family

D．taking care of her father and sister

3.The underlined word “disaster” in this passage refers to __________ .

Attending a university is an important part of a person’s life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine, or education. But the university is not a modern invention. It has a history that is over a thousand years old.

The world’s oldest university, Al-Azhar, is in Cairo, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque in A.D. 972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque in “tutoring circles”. They read and talked about the subject of law. Around 988, leaders in the city of Cairo decided to create a school for higher learning and the University of Al-Azhar was founded.

At Al-Azhar, there were many university ‘firsts.’ Courses were created. The earliest ones taught at Al-Azhar were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers talked about a topic, and there was no ‘right’ answer. Finally, scholars from around the world came to Al-Azhar to teach and do research. At the university, people studied the past, but it was also a place for sharing new ideas.

Over a thousand years later, Al-Azhar is still an important university in the world. Its library contains more than 250,000 of the world’s oldest and most valuable books. Today, many of the world’s most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at Al-Azhar.

1.What’s this passage mainly about?

2. The first university was founded over _____ years ago.

3.The oldest university in the world is _____.

C. A series of actions.                                    D. A group of professors.

5.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
