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

D.the benefit of sacrifice

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

Robert Ballard was born in 1942. From an early age, he loved the sea. Ballard grew up in Southern California. He spent his free time at the beach near his home. He enjoyed fishing and swimming. He even learned to dive. When Ballard wasn’t at the ocean, he loved reading about it. At age 10, he read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo. Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up. His parents helped him follow his dream.

Ballard was a hard-working student. He spent many years learning all he could about the ocean. By the age of 28, he was an expert. In 1970, he took a job as a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean. He came up with ways to predict(预知) volcanoes under the oceans. Working with other scientists, Ballard also found previously (以前) unknown sea animals. These animals lived far below the ocean’s surface, where scientists had believed no animals could live.

By the 1980s, Ballard’s interests changed. He developed unmanned（无人的）vehicles to explore the ocean bottom. His first find, the well-known ship Titanic, made Ballard famous. He was not happy with just one big find, however. He looked for and found other well-known ships. One was the German battleship Bismarck. Another was the U.S.S. Yorktown, an aircraft carrier (航空母舰) that sank during World War II.

Today Robert Ballard is still an underwater explorer. He also heads an organization that encourages students to learn about science. Ballard hopes that some of the students will follow in his footsteps. After all, the world’s huge oceans are mostly unknown. Who knows what remains to be discovered under the sea?
