Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
At the beginning of this term, I was lucky enough to be chosen as a volunteer docent(讲解员) of the Power Station of Art. I had thought that being a docent would be easy, but I was wrong.
When I started my work, I could not make myself understood. I was rather nervous, though the visitors were smiling at me all the time. I knew it was mainly because I hadn't prepared well enough. I decided to change.
I printed out all the information about the exhibition(展览). I read every word carefully and marked the key points. It was quite a big collection, with over 50 pieces of artworks on show. I chose 20 of them as the main focus of my guidance. Then, I divided them into four groups. Every day, I tried to remember one of my guiding scripts(讲稿) and practiced it the next day.
A week later, I kept all the key points in my heart and then I practiced retelling them again and again. The next day at the Power Station of Art, I managed to give a smooth introduction to the visitors.
I was glad that I wasn't beaten by failure. Now I've realized that you will never know what you can do until you try your best.

A friend invited us to help serve dinner at Tent (帐篷) City. Tents were set up for the homeless in the area. I took my nine-year-old boy with me. He had a lot of questions because this whole thing challenged(挑战) his common ideas about how people lived in the world. "Why don't they have homes? Why don't they get food the way we do?"
We talked through the reasons why people ended up in this kind of situation. Many of the people we served had missing teeth or wore dirty clothes. To my surprise, they were quite thankful that I had brought my boy. Many said how fun it was to have an active child around. After dinner, I saw my son talking about sports happily with several elderly gentlemen. He was having a great time.
As some people returned to their tents, I heard him tell them, "Thanks so much for coming to have dinner with us." I could see that my son's simple words touched them greatly. I hugged him because it touched me too.
We should treat people with respect, no matter who they are. I think my boy has learned this.
