Volunteering is a good way for teenagers to make a difference and meet new people. Here are a few volunteer opportunities that you could encourage your teen to take up.
Help a local food bank
Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers. They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless. Your teen would be involved in anything, from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repack donated food items, serving food, and carrying boxes.
Help at a soup kitchen
A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread). Most soup kitchens run mainly on donations and the generosity of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer, your child may be made to clean the tables and plates, help distribute food, cook food, and more.
Volunteer for Meals on Wheels
By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love any reason to get behind the wheel! They can make a huge impact in a short amount of time. Similarly, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives.
Work with Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home. Besides helping the community, your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing fundraising, painting, and building. You can sign them up for long-term projects or a one-time program.

“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable English-learning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”

“Using AI at work is great, but if we don’t slow down and think, it might make things bad for workers,” some senior workforce experience leaders talked about AI. They think AI can help people work better and be more creative. But they also worry that if we don’t plan well, it might make work less human.
There are many ways to see how good work is done, and leaders in our study focused on the importance of creativity and hard work in creating good work. Nearly 70% of leaders we spoke to believe that AI can help workers be more creative. It gives people new ideas that make their work better. However, 42% worry that if workers depend too much on AI, they might not work as carefully as they should. Being careful means being correct, doing things completely, and having different ways of thinking to make the work really good.
Perhaps the biggest worry about AI is its impact on human connection. Over a third of conversations think AI can free up time for us to have better talks and spend more time together. But not everyone is happy about this, with 41% of leaders believing AI will weaken the quality of human connections. These bosses are concerned that we might depend too much on machines, especially for important moments. Until now, what made these moments special was the personal care and understanding that come from people. They think moments without technology have a warmth and feeling that machines might not be able to give.
AI is exciting, but we need to be careful and think about how it affects workers. We should focus on making AI work with people, not against them.
8. What can we learn about using AI from the first paragraph
A. It needs no planning in advance.
B. It can not improve creativity at work.
C. It is the only method to increase work speed.
D. It might have bad influences if not carefully used.
9. What do 42% of the leaders concern about workers relying too much on AI
A. Workers will work with less care. B. Workers will become less creative.
C. Workers will not complete their studies. D. Workers themselves will stop thinking.
10. How did the use of AI probably influence human connections
A. It will bring personal care and understanding.
B. It will take away the warmth of human care.
C. It will depend too much on human connections.
D. It will strengthen the quality of human connections.
11. Who is the passage probably written for
A. Workers. B. Researchers. C. Leaders. D. Teenagers.
D
With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think
Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen.
Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read.
Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better.
So what can we do We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice.
12. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper
A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience.
C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities.
13. Why might students miss details when reading on screens
A. Screens make the text harder to read.
B. The text on screens is usually less detailed.
C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply.
D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas.
14. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits
A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading.
B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading.
C. She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading.
D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature.
15. Which is the best title for this passage
A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens
C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students D. The Importance of Online Learning at Home

The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together.____16____Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.

【答案】Dear Caroline,
I’m sorry to hear you are upset because you have put on weight. Here are some tips to help you.
First of all, to keep fit, you’d better have a balanced diet, which contains various foods, such as grain, meat, vegetables, fruit and milk. Moreover, it’s of great importance to take regular exercise and have adequate sleep. Sports like riding and walking are beneficial to your health. As we all know, enough sleep makes your body relaxed at night. Most importantly, there is no need to worry about weight gain and weight loss. Instead, you should focus your attention on your lessons. If you follow my advice, I’m convinced that you will feel much better soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
