五、阅读理解
I am a full-time student at College of the Redwoods.During this period it is hard to find time to do anything other than work.But after much thought I decided to spend my extra time volunteering at the Sequoia Humane Society.
After my first day of volunteering,I had a mixture of feelings:I felt guilty because I didn’t do anything to help others in the past 25 years;I felt happy because I was helping animals,and I felt sad because these animals did not have a home with a family.
The main reason for people volunteering at animal shelters (收容所) is that it helps the animals.It also helps the workers,because they have so many things to do—such as feeding and cleaning—and they just don’t have enough time to give each animal proper attention and exercise.Volunteers help out by taking dogs on long walks so dogs can get exercised.
Walking and playing with the animals helps them become better suited for adoption,increasing the chance that they will find a home and live happily with their owners.
As a person who has had pets all my life, I know the joy and happiness that a pet brings to a person,a family,and the world in general.Even on the most stressful day,I know when I get home my dog will be sitting there ready to play with me and take my mind off from whatever is causing the stress I am experiencing.Volunteering at an animal shelter gives someone the opportunity to experience what I have all the time—a warm,loving animal that just wants to have fun and make you happy.So make the time to make an animal happy.Start volunteering today!
