Volunteering at a nursing home is an often overlooked volunteer area and yet one of the most needed. Statistics show that only 50 percent of nursing home residents have no close relatives and 46 percent have no living children. 1.However, the self gratification and relationships you will receive is too unusual to be replaced.

Make a list of nursing homes you are able to volunteer at on a regular basis. When doing this, use any resources from family members, friends, or even use an online search engine to find nursing homes. When choosing your home, also keep in mind your schedule; make sure that you can be fully committed to any obligations that the nursing home may give you. 2.

3.Before calling, choose your times wisely, anytime between 9am-11am and 2pm-5pm would be a good option. By avoiding meal times or later at night, you'll have a better chance for getting information and finding people who are free to talk with you.

Ask for an application form. 4.This step is also where your applicant process begins. They will hand you all necessary applicant information. Most nursing homes will conduct interviews, do background checks, and may even have you receive vaccines and take drug tests.

Become a "volunteer in training" at the nursing home. 5.Because of the wide variety of possible areas, you may experience variations in your training length and the content may vary.

A. Expect to attend training if your application is approved.

B. Call or visit the top three of your chosen nursing home options.

C. Volunteering at a nursing home can be a really wonderful experience.

D. From your list, choose the top three that cater to what you are looking for.

E. You will be taken into training depending on the area you are assigned to train in.

F. The process of becoming a volunteer at a nursing home can often be a little too long.

G. The activity director or volunteer coordinator will handle all of your information from here.

高三英语七选五中等难度题查看答案及解析

I am a parent of a disabled teenager. My son is in and out of hospital and school. His learning disabilities and behaviour issues are a barrier for him, and he is teased on campus. At home, he swears and punches me.

He is on a waiting list for his disorder which contributes to his anxiety. Meanwhile, there are hospital appointments to manage, at least four consultants on the go, and an imminent transfer to adult services. The bureaucracy of caring keeps me busy.

I used to work in the theatre industry but had to quit when my son kept getting excluded from school. I never expected that my life would turn out like this. But now, amazingly, I am doing a PhD at a Russell Group university，looking at non­white protagonists in historical drama. It is fascinating: under­represented characters!Hidden histories! Diversity!

I am starting to win awards for my research and I feel like a success story. Almost. There's just one problem: I can't get funding. I keep missing out on studentships and scholarships. These awards—which are mainly funded by research councils or universities directly—are worth about ￡14，000－￡16，000 a year and usually include a fee waiver (saving a further ￡5，000). That's a lot of money.

But the funding tends to go to students half my age with straight­A academic results—not to people like me, who have taken an unusual path to academia. When I was turned down for the last studentship I applied for, I asked why. The decision maker—a professor in my department and the head of a research institute—told me “it all comes down to excellent academic results”．

They don't say this on the application forms: it's all about the originality of your project, your research statement, your supervisor's supporting statement, the panel that considers you, the level of competition. But when it comes down to it, this is clearly what they want. Someone with my background is never going to get a studentship if the decisive criteria are undergraduate and master's results.

When I started my PhD and realised that I would need financial help, I went to the student advice office and told them that I am a carer. They asked what that meant and then offered me advice on benefits, but not funding. I went to the student union advice service—they referred me back to student advice. I went to the graduate school. Same response. I spoke to a vice dean and a chaplain. I had to tell them what a carer is. You get the picture. I was invisible. So I gave up, decided to apply annually for the studentships and kept my part­time job.

UCAS announced this year that young carers will now be able to identify themselves in their applications, so that universities will be able to support them. But how is this going to happen if staff at these institutions don't even know what a carer is?

The student welfare vice­president at the union has finally agreed with me that carers are an under­supported and under­represented group on campus. We are going to ask student records to add an option to the equality and diversity monitoring section, so that we can identify as carers and hopefully raise awareness. Wish us luck.

1.Put the following events in the correct order.

a. The author won awards for her research.

b. The author spoke to a vice dean and a chaplain.

c. The author decided to apply annually for studentships.

d. The author started her PhD.

A.dabc B.dcba

C.cdab D.cdba

2.According to the decision maker，the writer's application for funding was turned down mainly because ________．

A.she has a disabled son B.her academic results were not good enough

C.the bureaucracy of caring kept her busy D.the competition was too fierce

3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

A.the writer likes reading success stories

B.the writer is a non­white woman

C.carers deserve our attention and help

D.carers are favored in the process of application and enrollment

4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Only undergraduates and masters can get the studentship.

B.In spite of her son's illness, the writer continued to work to feed her family.

C.The writer shows great interest and enthusiasm in her academic research.

D.The writer's disabled son does not respect his mother.

5.The writer's purpose is mainly to ________．

A.call on more people to care about disabled teenagers

B.complain about the barriers she met in getting funding

C.inform the readers of a carer's difficulties

D.give advice on how to get a studentship
