That may sound a bit dramatic（戏剧性的）, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25-30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents（居民） while were there.You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”, but nothing compares to talking to the people who were there. Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.Whether it was talking to 98-year-old “Hurricane Hilda” about her great days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.Even the residents who dont have amazing memories make the experience meaningful . I remember visiting Mrs Robinson. She couldnt think of much about her past, but she told me shed never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling (漫谈)”. It made me realize that its the little things that make life worth living. Thats something I wont forget anytime soon.If theres one thing Ive realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, its that presence just being there means more than anything to many of the residents. And no matter how busy our lives are, theres always time to make someones day.For me, it feels great to be a source(源泉) of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, thats all that matters.Its easy to feel like you dont have anything in common with the elderly especially when youre a teenager. But thats not true at all.I hate to be overly clichd (陈词滥调的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, its important for us to realize this sooner rather than later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often get something from teenagers too.（1）What do the writer and his classmates often do when they visit Cantata?a. play board games and cards with the residentsb. do some cleaning for the residentsc. listen to the residents talk about their memoriesd. watch movies and Tvshows with the residentsA . a,bB . a,cC . b,dD . c,d（2）With the mention of his visit to Mrs Robinson, the writer wants to A . show what Mrs Robinsons life like at CantataB . show how he developed a friendship with Mrs RobinsonC . show what a difference someones presence makes to the residents at CantataD . give an example showing that most of the residents at Cantata have amazing memories to share（3）What has the writer learned from his three years of visiting Cantata?A . It takes great patience to look after the elderly.B . Teenagers have little in common with the elderlyC . Its important for the elderly to learn from teenagers to keep up with the times.D . It means a lot to have some time for the elderly and offer them a listening ear.19. （10分）阅读理解Long ago a kind farmer with the name of Fred lived in a small old house happily together with his gentle wife, Doris, who couldnt see anything at the age of five.One cold winter night, the Luck Fairy (仙女) visited them while they were eating some bread in the dim（昏暗的）light. “Fred, youre so kind.
