四、阅读理解
(公益慈善)During my teen years, I wasn't an outgoing person at all. I was never interested in volunteering. I just thought it was something for people who had a lot of free time to do. My view of volunteering changed when I entered the university.
I started volunteering when I was 19 years old. As an English major (专业), I volunteered to teach children English in kindergartens (幼儿园). Later, I realized I wasn't getting anything new out of my volunteer service. I decided to move out of my comfort zone (舒适区). I volunteered at different art festivals and for community service. These opportunities helped me to greatly improve my organization and communication skills.
The most important and life-changing volunteering experience for me came in the summer of 2021. It became clear to me that volunteering locally was not enough. It was time for me to try volunteering abroad. I spent a month and a half teaching poor children English in Romania. That experience helped me to improve my teaching skills. It also completely changed me. I met people from all over the world and learned to work together with them. Since then, I have made many international friends. These days, I am always able to do better than my colleagues whenever my job requires cross-cultural communication.
Volunteering is one of the best things you could ever do, both for yourself and for the people you are going to help along the way. Don't ever hesitate (犹豫) to join the community of volunteers!

(原创)People have been flying kites for 2,000 years. No one knows for sure who invented the kite. Some people believe Chinese started kite-flying 2,000 years ago. In China,there is even a special Kite Day on which children and adults fly kites. In Japan, families fly fish kites on Children's Day.
Kites are made in many different sizes,colors and shapes. A flat kite is the oldest and simplest type. It flies because air flows over and under the kite's wing. The pressure under the wing helps the kite lift into the air.
Kites have also been used in experiments (实验). Early scientists sent up kites into the air to measure temperatures at different heights. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that lightning was a form of electricity. He connected a metal key to the string (线) of a kite. When lightning hit the kite, electricity passed down the string and Franklin got an electric shock. It was a very dangerous experiment and you mustn't copy him.
Kites were also used to develop airplanes. The Wright Brothers did an experiment on kites before they flew the first airplane. In the past, kites were also used to carry radio signals over long distances.
Today most people fly kites as a hobby. Kite festivals are organized in many cities in all parts of the world.
