Her program，“Mrs.Parker’s Professors’ Foodraiser”，has become very successful and has provided food to thousands of her students each year.She called her students “professors”．Her devotion has provided food security for the families when they do not have access to school meals.
It all started six years ago when Parker received a message from the mother of one of her students.The mother explained to her that she did not have any more food to feed her family，and that she could not afford to buy more food to feed her children during the winter break.The children relied on the meals provided to them at school.After receiving the call，she knew she needed to help.This enthusiastic teacher went out to the store and bought groceries for the family of the woman who had called her.
This experience made Parker think about the other students and their families who may be in need as well.She wanted to continue providing food security to the families of her students，and the program continued to grow each year.
Parker raised enough money to help every child at 12 elementary schools in her school district.“It’s a basic human right.We need to make sure we take care of our schools，because when we take care of our schools，we’re taking care of our community，” she said.

It is a well-accepted assumption that students come to colleges to get good grades and that they are usually too busy to do anything else.
But Connie Snyder Mick，an academic director of the Center for Social Concerns at the University of Notre Dame，says it is just half of the truth.There are many volunteering centers like hers at the colleges and universities in the United States.Mick says these centers help students seek an experience that may not be directly related to a student’s academic progress，but that is still important.
Volunteering is not uncommon in higher education.Many college groups organize volunteer events for different causes.Officials in charge of student housing often organize such events to help build a sense of community.Participation in these kinds of activities is good for students，Mick says.For example，the busy nature of college life can create a lot of stress for students.Doing something completely unrelated to a student’s studies can help calm them by putting their mind on other things.
For a more meaningful addition to their college experience，Mick urges students to visit centers like the one she heads.She says these centers exist to create volunteer opportunities that are more complex and meaningful than just a day spent cleaning a local park or raising money，for example.
Such volunteering centers often partner with local organizations that serve the people of the nearby communities.Even for students with little interest in building a connection with the local communities，there is still value in what volunteer centers have to offer，Mick says.She notes some opportunities can push students to use what they are learning in the classroom out in the real world and having that kind of experience can make a student appealing to employers in the years to come.
5．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Academic progress.
B．College education.
C．Volunteering experience.
D．Center for Social Concerns.
6．What is the housing officials’ main purpose in organizing those events
A．To give students good part-time jobs.
B．To raise money for different celebrations.
C．To help build a closer bond among the students.
D．To improve the living conditions for the students.
7．How can these centers’ activities benefit the students according to Mick
A．By helping them focus on their study.
B．By offering chances to test their knowledge.
C．By protecting them from the local communities.
D．By increasing their competitiveness in the job market.
8．What is the best title for the text
A．Colorful College Life in the USA
B．Guidelines for Volunteering Center Selection

Each year，as many as one billion birds are killed in the US from collisions(相撞) with glass windows and buildings every year.Birds that crashed into Philadelphia buildings began to be collected in the 1890s.Nearly 100 species of birds are known to have died out from crashes with buildings and other structures in Philadelphia.Many other species are probably affected in the city.
Called Lights Out Philly，the voluntary program in Philadelphia encourages buildings to turn out or dim unnecessary external and internal lights between midnight and six o’clock early in the morning to protect birds as they pass through during migration seasons.
Bird migration seasons are from April 1 to May 31 in spring and from August 15 to November 15 in fall.Each year，millions of birds pass through Philadelphia along a migration route known as the Atlantic Flyway.Bird-glass crashes are very common for migrating birds，most of which travel at night.Glass is difficult for them to recognize as hard surfaces，and artificial light can fool them into crashing with buildings and outdoor structures.Turning off lights between midnight and sunrise helps minimize the effect of artificial light when most birds are migrating.
On Oct.2,2020，a stormy and foggy day，Philadelphia had its largest mass collision event in more than 70 years with an estimated 1,000 birds crashing with buildings in one 3.5-square block area in just one day.Paired with a terrible storm of weather and fog conditions，the bright city and building lights attracted and confused the migrating birds，causing them to crash with buildings and outdoor structures.
Even if you don’t play a part in managing the lights of a big building，you can help birds avoid crashes by making the glass opaque to reduce the amount and intensity of artificial light at night，changing the color of lighting to blue or green，shortening the duration lights are on，directing the lighting downward or screening lighting.
1．What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．The rich biological diversity in Philadelphia.
B．Great efforts to protect migrating birds in Philadelphia.
C．The present and the past of the bird conservation in America.
D．The serious consequence of bird-glass crashes in Philadelphia.
2．What added the danger to the migrating birds on Oct.2,2020
A．Bad weather conditions.
B．Traveling in the day.
C．The mistaken route.
D．Too many buildings.
3．What does the underlined word “opaque” mean in the last paragraph
A．Light-reflecting.
B．Delicate.
C．Lightproof.
D．Clean.
4．What is the best title for the text
A．It Is Difficult to Save the Migrating Birds
B．Philadelphia Turns out Lights to Save Migrating Birds
C．External and Internal Lights Affect the Bird Migration
D．Lights Out Philly Program Helps Save Endangered Birds
读写积累 1．crash v．撞车，坠毁 n．撞车事故，失事；巨响，碰撞声 2．structure熟义：n.结构，构造 生义：n.大型建筑物(本文为此义) 3．external adj.外部的，外面的 4．internal adj.内部的，体内的 5．artificial adj.人造的，人工的 6．minimize v．使减少到最低限度 7．die out灭绝 8．fool sb into doing sth骗某人做某事 9．Nearly 100 species of birds are known to have died out from crashes with buildings and other structures in Philadelphia. 句式结构：sb/sth＋be＋v.-ed＋to do sth 句子翻译：据了解，费城有近100种鸟类因与楼房和其他建筑物相撞而灭绝。

How to Benefit from Volunteering
Volunteering is a great benefit to the community.Many nonprofit organizations couldn’t survive without volunteers.However，you may not realize how much it also benefits your life to volunteer，from building up your career to making you healthier and more social.
Meet new people.Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and make new friends.You’re introduced to a wide range of people when volunteering.All of these people have the potential to be new friends.Don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation with the people you meet. 1
Strengthen relationships.Another way volunteering can help your social life is to strengthen relationships you already have. 2 You don’t need to do anything special.Just work alongside each other.
Volunteer actively to stay healthier.Many volunteer jobs require you to do some physical work，which can help you stay healthier，particularly if you don’t get much exercise otherwise. 3 For instance，volunteer with your parks and recreation department to clean up parks or with Habit for Humanity to build houses.
Let yourself feel accomplished.One way that volunteering contributes to a person’s health is that it gives him or her something to feel accomplished. 4 It will help your health because it improves well-being and gives you something to feel good about.
5 You may think that volunteering will make you more stressed because it cuts back on your free time，but most people find just the opposite.Most people feel like they have more time when they volunteer，which in turn，cuts back on stress.
A．Feel less stressed.
B．The society trains us，so we also need to repay it.
C．If you’re volunteering，go ahead and feel valued.
D．You never know who is going to be a new friend.
E．The key is to get out into your community to help.
F．To help your health the most，pick active volunteer jobs.

In 2014，Mahoney performed an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge.She picked a 79-year-old senior named Wagner，who regularly gave back to the community.Mahoney wanted to know Wagner better，so they spent a day together，picking up groceries and getting their nails done.“It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her，” says Mahoney.
Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking.How many other seniors might benefit from dedicated attention She came up with a plan：find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill their wishes.She named the new charity：We Are Young，or WAY for short.
Seniors can nominate(提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else；wishes are then assessed by a community committee that looks at factors such as age-related physical barriers，social isolation and financial need.
Melanie nominated her husband,78-year-old Victor，to go rockhounding，a hobby he’d given up when it became too physically difficult to access the bay where he hunted for geodes(晶洞)．The team at WAY hired a boat for him and his son so they could reach the bay and search out geodes on the beach.“Now，Victor has regained his self-confidence and is willing to take on new challenges.We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others，” says Mahoney.
Up to now，WAY has delivered on 41 dreams，ranging from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking spot to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game.While her charity operates only in Nova Scotia，Mahoney has her own dream.Each WAY wish is recorded on video，and she wants people watching to be inspired to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community.“We want to create a national movement that shifts how we as a society view，value and support seniors，” says Mahoney.“That is the impact we’re trying to create.”
