My name is Ann. I worked as a volunteer in 2013 because I wanted to do something to help others. I called
some charity shops (慈善商店) to ask if they needed volunteers. Although I didn’t mind where I volunteered. I
was glad that one of the Sue Ryder shops said yes. Sue Ryder was a charity very close to my heart because
volunteers from Sue Ryder once cared for my dad in the hospital.
Volunteering in the shop helped me know what shop work was like and I was surprised to find how much I
really enjoyed doing it. I also found how important the public (公众) were. Lots of people gave us things they
didn’t need for the shops to sell. In this way Sue Ryder raised money to care for people with life-changing illness.
I always left the charity shop late because I knew how important the work of Sue Ryder was.
Another thing I enjoyed about volunteering was talking with other volunteers in the shop. They were
friendly and helpful. I really improved my teamwork skills by volunteering.
I worked in the shop from April 1st to August 1st. I learned many things from it and I’m sure they will be
useful in the future.
1．Did Ann’s father get any help from one of the Sue Ryder shops

Logan is young, but he is good with computers. One day, there was something wrong with his teacher’s
computer. He helped repair it and this made him happy. Then the boy decided to use his skill to help others.
In his free time, Logan often collects broken, old and unused computers from schools and office buildings.
Then he fixes them and gives them away to poor people. By now, he has helped more than one hundred people.
However, this project is not always easy. Sometimes Logan has to spend a few days fixing one computer.
But he never feels bored. When people ask him why he started the project, Logan says it is computers that have
changed his life. “I used to feel a lot of anxiety (焦虑) about all kinds of things in life. However, the love for
computers helped me overcome (克服) it, so I wanted to do something for people in need. Some people are too
poor to buy computers. Some people have old computers but they have no idea what to do with them. I just do my
part to make them useful again,” he said.
Logan thinks a man’s rubbish can be another man’s treasure. The boy says he will keep repairing old
computers and giving them to people in need. He will try his best to make the world better.

On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think
about the homeless. These people have to sleep on the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have no money
to buy food.
A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to do something about this. Every night, he puts on
a Spider-Man suit and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won’t go hungry.
The man refuses to tell people his name. The people in the area call him the “Birmingham Spider-Man”.
The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves (值得) a helping hand.
The 25-year-old man started his night activities in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys some sandwiches. Then,
he finds a quiet alley (胡同) and puts on his “uniform”. After that, the “Spider-Man” starts handing his food out to
people in need. The man said, “I wear the Spider-Man suit in order to get attention (注意).” Without the suit, few
people took a second look at him while he was handing out food. When people see the “Spider-Man”, however,
they come over and ask what he is doing.
“The Birmingham Spider-Man” gets lots of attention. Many people offer to give away money to him. But
the young man never accepts the money, Instead, he encourages (鼓励) people to go out and help people in need
on their own. He said, “If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won’t be so cold any longer. ”

（22-23 八年级上·江苏淮安·期末）Many people spend their vacation doing nothing on a beach, but Kisty
Ross wanted to do something different. “I spent three weeks working in the hot sun, digging to find pieces of old
cups and plates,” she says. “I worked really hard all day and I slept in a tent at night. My friends thought I was
crazy, but I had an amazing time, it was my best vacation ever!”
Kisty was working for a volunteer programme in Tunisia in North Africa. Over twenty-five young
volunteers worked together on archaeological sites (考古遗址) to find important information about the past. The
volunteers had to be very careful, because it was important not to damage the things they found. Many of them
worked at Tunisia’s Biggest archaeological site in Carthage, and some of them worked in other important sites in
the country. Kisty explains why she chose this vocation. “I am always interested in history, and Tunisia has a lot
of very important archaeological sites. There were people living in Carthage as early as 3, 000 years ago. I love
being in places that are so old. It is exciting to find pots and other things that people used every day”
It was harder for Kisty than for some of the others. “I come from Alaska, which is a cold place.” she says.

Blood donation, also called blood banking, is a meaningful thing to do. It is an easy and direct way to
contribute to social work and help the community. It helps to save lives and helps those who lose blood during
operations or in accidents.
You are able to give or donate blood every three or four months. It is a great way to make a big difference
to someone’s life and you can always be proud of it after making valuable contributions to society. Blood
donation is not a big problem, but you need to keep a few points in mind.
Before donating blood, make sure that the ferrum（铁）level in your body is high enough and for that you
should take a healthy diet. For making hemoglobin（血红蛋白）in your body up to standard, drink lots of juice and
other drinks. Fruit juice, such as apple juice, is very good for increasing the blood level in your body. For a good
blood flow in your body, drink at least 6—7 glasses of water every day. It’s not wise to drink wine before or after
giving blood. Do not smoke half an hour before giving blood.
When you are going for blood donation, be relaxed, which helps keep the right blood pressure. While
donating blood, take a deep breath and try to calm yourself. Don’t join in some other activities.
Blood donation is a very simple and fast process, but you need to take care of yourself after donating blood.
Proper care helps to reduce bad effects. The following are a few tips that will help you out.
Take a rest for 15 minutes after the donation. It helps you to relax yourself.
Make sure that you have meals after donating blood. Smoking shouldn’t be allowed for one hour after the
process. Don’t do any activities right away, for example, driving.
Finally, be proud of yourself because you have done a great thing in helping to save someone’s life. Blood
donation is a very important activity.
1．How often can people donate blood
2．What had you better not do half an hour before giving blood
3．Why do you need to rest for 15 minutes after donation
4．How many tips does the article offer to you
5．What do you think of blood donation
（23-24 八年级下·江苏南通·期中）An old saying goes “Laughter is the best medicine.” It’s true that
laughter is really good for our health. So, the next time you’re feeling stressed, try to laugh a lot, develop a sense
of humor and watch funny films.
The Comic Relief charity, an organization that helps people in need, uses laughter to raise money. Every two
years in spring, many English people put on a red nose, make a fool of themselves and do ”silly” things to make
themselves and others laugh.
Examples of silly things you can do are:
Invite friends round to your house to watch funny films. They have to pay to watch the films, those with the
most comfortable chairs pay more, and for food and drinks.
Hold a talent show at school and ask your friends and teachers to sing, dance or tell jokes. Sell tickets for the
show to the rest of the school.
Have a red nose party at your house. All your friends come dressed in red, including red nose, and you serve
red food and drinks. If they don’t wear red, they have to pay a fine.
Get the students in your school to make funny sculptures(雕塑) using all kinds of materials. Sell tickets to
your Red Nose Day exhibition and part of the money goes to Comic Relief.
The organization has helped people for more than 20 years. And how much have they collected since the first
Red Nose Day Over￡600 million! The idea of Red Nose Day has travelled to other countries, too. In New
Zealand, for example, people have made big red noses which they put on the front of cars and even buildings.

2．Who should pay more when they are invited to watch funny films
3．In which silly thing may people pay a fine

Blood donation, also called blood banking, is a meaningful thing to do. It is an easy and direct way to
contribute to social work and help the community. It helps to save lives and helps those who lose blood during
operations or in accidents.
You are able to give or donate blood every three or four months. It is a great way to make a big difference
to someone’s life and you can always be proud of it after making valuable contributions to society. Blood
donation is not a big problem, but you need to keep a few points in mind.
Before donating blood, make sure that the ferrum（铁）level in your body is high enough and for that you
should take a healthy diet. For making hemoglobin（血红蛋白）in your body up to standard, drink lots of juice and
other drinks. Fruit juice, such as apple juice, is very good for increasing the blood level in your body. For a good
blood flow in your body, drink at least 6—7 glasses of water every day. It’s not wise to drink wine before or after
giving blood. Do not smoke half an hour before giving blood.
When you are going for blood donation, be relaxed, which helps keep the right blood pressure. While
donating blood, take a deep breath and try to calm yourself. Don’t join in some other activities.
Blood donation is a very simple and fast process, but you need to take care of yourself after donating blood.
Proper care helps to reduce bad effects. The following are a few tips that will help you out.
Take a rest for 15 minutes after the donation. It helps you to relax yourself.
Make sure that you have meals after donating blood. Smoking shouldn’t be allowed for one hour after the
process. Don’t do any activities right away, for example, driving.
Finally, be proud of yourself because you have done a great thing in helping to save someone’s life. Blood
