Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyones life,” she says.Many teenagers agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teenagers volunteer than work for pay. They clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters, visit the elderly and more.Some cities - including Seattle, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. -request high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate. The student volunteers learn new skills and help their communities (社区).Many parents are in favor of the idea - they say volunteering helps teenagers build job skills. But most teens dont want to be forced to volunteer. They say they are busy. And they say volunteering is only fun if its a choice.Read both sides of the debate and decide.YESVolunteering can help teenagers get into college or get a job.Many cities and towns need help. Volunteers can help keep important programs going.Not all teenagers will volunteer if it isnt required. Schools should require students to do all they can to get ready for adult life.NOMost teenagers are already very busy with classes, homework, jobs and sports. Forcing them to do more isnt fair.It should be up to each person. Helping out doesnt feel as good if you have to do it.Finding a volunteer job isnt always easy. Students shouldnt be kept from graduating because of something they cant control.24.

Every drop of water in the bottle felt proud of being so clean and pure. Day after day they would congratulate each other on how clean and beautiful they were. That was until one day when one of the drops got bored with clean existence. He wanted to try what it was like being a dirty drop.The other drops tried to talk to him out of it, but he refused to accept their advice. Hardly realizing, when the drop came back all dirty, he turned all the other drops in the bottle into dirty drops, too.They tried to get clean again, but they couldnt. They tried everything to shake off the dirtiness. Finally, much later, someone dipped the bottle into in a fountain(喷泉), and only when a lot of clean water entered the bottle did the drops regain their old transparency and purity. Now they all know that if they all want to be nice clean drops, then each and every one of them has to stay clean, even they find it difficult. That drop that succeeded in being dirty has realized that correcting the mistake of one single drop needs a lot of work for everyone else.The same happens to us and our friends.

There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk(人行道).Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck（垃圾车）pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name. The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 32. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Disappointed and helpless B.
