Volunteering means working for free to help someone else. Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyones life,” she says.Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teens volunteer than work for pay.

Students must volunteer in order to graduate. The student volunteers learn new skills and help their communities.Many parents are in favor of the idea - they say volunteering helps teens build job skills.

Volunteers can help keep important programs going.Not all teens will volunteer if it isnt required.

Many are in their thirties or forties.Why are so many people deciding to spend their time and money in order to continue their education? Most are doing it because they believe more education will help them to get a better job. Some are industrial workers whose factories have closed.

Some have retired (退休) and are looking for new kinds of work. Two of every three of the students older than 35 are women.

Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent. My daughter Carlas fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.You can use the same technique when you evaluate your childs work at home. Dont always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he had done right, not about what he hasnt done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last. 32. The whole passage deals with _.

You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. 36 . Heres how:1) Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. 37 . A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to be aware of what is happening to your time.2) 38 . Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. 3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Take notes if necessary, because the notes will help you remember what the teacher says and study better.4) Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, reading that material. This will help you understand the next class. 39 5) Develop a good attitude towards tests. 40.
