Giving back to the community makes yourself and others feel great. Whether you want to help animals, the environment, or people in need, volunteer websites can match you with specific opportunities.
Volunteer Match
Volunteer Match has matched millions of people with wonderful volunteer opportunities. When you type your location in the search bar, Volunteer Match lists all the work possibilities near you.
You can sort several possibilities by cause—— animals, children, seniors, women, and the arts are just some of the filters(过滤器) you can use to find the right volunteer work for you.
Since we live in an age where smartphone apps can help someone, Volunteer Match also allows you to check out virtual opportunities. This lets you do volunteer work from the comfort of your home.
Engage
Engage (formerly All for Good) uses your location to find opportunities near you. Enter the kind of volunteer work you want to do in the keywords field, and then input your location. But if you' re not looking for a specific type of opportunity, leave any keywords out, enter your location, and hit search.
Engage provides you with thousands of results for you to choose from. The site also lets you filter the results by remote projects, issue area, and skills required.
Just Serve
Just Serve makes signing up for volunteer work a breeze. Once you find an opportunity, sign up for an account on the website and show up at the event when the day comes.
Type in the location of your choice to view opportunities. Then, filter the events by age group, volunteer skills, and your own interests. Just Serve not only displays one-time events, but it'll show you ongoing opportunities as well.
United Way
If you ever volunteered, you've probably heard of United Way. This nonprofit organization specializes in giving back to the community, especially in education, healthcare, and fundraising.
United Way connects you with a wide range of opportunities that involve supporting children, gardening, construction, therapy, disaster services, and even working at a food bank. To help you find the best fit, the site lets you sort through opportunities by your skills and focus areas.

The best and most-commonly used sources for the pills we have are oily fish like salmon(鲑鱼),mackerel(鲭鱼) and sardine(沙丁鱼). Many environmentalists fear that some species are being overfished for this purpose. We may have an endless voracity for fish oil, but we don't have an endless supply of fish.
Menhaden(鲱鱼), which is described as “a big-headed, smelly, foot-long fish”, is in great danger. Although prized for dinner in the 18th century, the species has become the unknown victim of the fish oil business, which presents us with potential selfish. Menhaden feeds almost entirely on algae(海藻)and is especially good at changing it into omega-3 fatty acids, which make it a good target for fish oil companies.
One particular company, Protein of Houston, has been fishing 90 percent of the country's menhaden. It's become such a big problem that 13 of the 15 Atlantic states have banned the company's boats from their waters. Yet the company is still allowed to fish in North Carolina and Virginia, as well as federal waters; the company's efforts result in the removing of half a billion menhadens every year.
Aside from a public natural resource running out for a company's private profit, the damage to the ecosystem is the cause for alarm. The muddy brown colour of the Long Island Sound is the direct result of lacking water filtration(过滤)——a job that was once done by menhaden.
Menhaden keeps the ocean waters of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts clean. A menhaden filters four to six gallons of water of algae in a minute, which prevents underwater dead zones.
Measures should be taken to avoid the overfished situation. Plant seeds such as flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and sesame seeds—— and particularly their oils—— are good vegetarian sources of omega-3fatty acids, although the mix of specific acids is different from which one can get from fish.
What does the underlined word “voracity” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Trouble. B. Shortage. C. Resource. D. Appetite.
Why does menhaden become a good fish for companies to make pills
It is good at forming omega-3 fatty acids. B. It feeds mainly on the harmful algae.
C. It is well-known for its rich protein. D. It is relatively easy for companies to catch.
What does the author intend to suggest us in the last paragraph
To grow more plants for their seeds to make oil.
To use some substitutes instead of more fish oil.
To call on the government to make laws in fishing.
To take part in more activities to protect the environment.
What is the best title for the text
The Broken Natural Ecosystem B. The Process of Making Fish Oil
C. Bad Effects of Fish Oil Making D. How to use natural resources. C
You stayed up too late browsing through your phone, answering emails or watching just one more episode. The next morning, you feel sleepy and impatient. That dessert or sandwich suddenly looks more appealing than your usual yogurt and berries. This isn't just about willpower. Your brain, short on rest, is pushing you toward quick, high-calorie fixes.
Research shows that insufficient sleep disturbs hunger signals, weakens self-control and increases your risk of weight gain. Sleep inadequacy affects millions. More than one-third of U. S. adults regularly get less than seven hours of sleep per night. Nearly three-quarters of adolescents fall short of the recommended 8-10 hours sleep during the school week. First responders, including nurses, firefighters and emergency workers, are especially vulnerable due to night shifts and varying uncontrollable schedules. These patterns disturb the body's internal clock and are linked to increased appetite, poor eating habits and elevated risks for obesity and metabolic disease.
Studies show that after just one night of sleep deprivation(匮乏), reward-related areas such as the amygdala, a part of the brain that drives motivation and reward-seeking, become more reactive to inviting food. Your brain becomes more excited by junk food and less capable of resisting it. Participants in sleep deprivation studies not only rated high-calorie foods as more desirable but were also more likely to choose them, regardless of how hungry they actually felt.
Sleep is as important as diet and exercise in maintaining a healthy weight. Fortunately, even a few nights of consistent, high-quality sleep can help rebalance key systems and start to reverse some of these effects. In a culture that glorifies hustle and late nights, sleep is often treated as optional. So the next time you find yourself reaching for junk food after a short night, recognize that your biology is reacting to stress. Sleep is your most powerful tool for appetite control, energy regulation and long-term health.
What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1
High-calorie foods are more attractive.
Staying up late can make people dizzy.
Sleep loss stimulates the brain for appetite. D· People are addicted to using mobile phones.
Why are first responders more likely to suffer from sleep deprivation
They have unhealthy lifestyles.
They bear expectation of the society.
They have demanding and shifting schedules.
They have much pressure from the workload.
Why is the brain more likely to shift into the reward mode after sleep insufficiency
The brain becomes more excited and unrealistic.
Sleep loss changes how the brain evaluates food.
The brain reacts more quickly to the environment.
Sleep loss changes how the body absorbs nutrients.
What does the author advocate in the last paragraph
Getting enough sleep. B. Putting down the electronics.
C. Staying away from junk food. D. Controlling our weight.
D
Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.
Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, US foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.
The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26. All of them currently attend, or formerly attended,2-or 4-year college or university.
The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the US government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60 percent of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.
Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the Internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia( 琐事)which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on the Internet.
Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.
The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.
Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.
What can we learn about the survey
All the participants were recent university graduates.
It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.
Its aim was to figure out what the young people knew about America.
It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.
What's one reason the survey organizers give for young people's lack of knowledge
Young people are unwilling to travel abroad.
Young people find it harder to get high-quality information on the Internet.
The US university system is of poor quality.
Young people lack interest in knowing more about the world.
According to the survey, what topic did the young Americans understand best
Environmental matters. B. Geographic information.
C. Foreign relations. D. Government organizations.
In which column of a newspaper could we find this article
A. Economics. B. Entertainment. C. Politics. D. Education.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lena was a 17-year-old girl who considered herself independent. For three years, her diary had been her only trusted friend. Every night, she would record everything in life— the math teacher's blame, the broken relationship with desk mates, the crush(喜欢) on a boy, the stray dog, the leaking roof, even the way her mother talked to her.
The cold war began after that night—— when Mom opened her schoolbag without warning, stuff fell out onto the floor—a half-finished love poem, a present prepared for her desk mate, and her private drawing book.
“What are you doing on earth ” screamed Lena.
“I just want to check and keep you safe!” Mom's voice cracked, her hands shaking.
“Safe You just want to control me!” Lena cried, kicking the bag away. That night, Lena locked herself in her room, scribbling angry words into her diary: “This is my Privacy! I hate her! I'll never forgive her!”
For a week Lena wouldn't speak to her mother. One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home to find her diary missing from its usual spot under the pillow. Panic set in. Did Mom take it She stormed into the kitchen, where her mother was washing vegetables, hands trembling slightly.
“Give it back!” Lena demanded.
Mom wiped her hands slowly, avoiding eye contact. “The roof leaked. I was cleaning up the mess in your room when I found your notebook lying on the wet floor. I was drying it.” She pointed to the balcony, where the diary lay open under a hairdryer, pages fluttering.
Lena's heart sank. Her deepest secrets—— complaints about Mom, crushes on classmates — were now
exposed. She grabbed the diary and ran back to her room, tears blurring her vision. Flipping through the pages, she noticed something strange: every angry entry was marked with a tiny red sticker(贴纸)。
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Curious, Lena turned to the page where she wrote “I hate you!” and found unfamiliar handwriting.
That night, Lena tiptoed into her mother's room, diary in hand.

Curious, Lena turned to the page where she wrote "I hate you!" and found unfamiliar handwriting. It was her mother’s. The note said, "I’m sorry I invaded your privacy, dear. I just worry about you but didn’t find the right way. Every time I see your angry words, my heart aches, but I know I need to listen more." There were faint tear stains on the paper. Lena’s eyes watered—she’d never noticed her mother’s care hidden behind the "control".
That night, Lena tiptoed into her mother's room, diary in hand. Her mother was still awake, knitting a scarf. "Mom, I’m sorry," Lena whispered, handing her the diary. "I shouldn’t have shouted at you." Her mother hugged her tightly. Lena pointed to the stickers and said, "I see your love now." They talked late into the night, and the cold war finally ended. From then on, Lena shared her life with her mother willingly, knowing privacy matters, but love matters more.
