many different ways in which people can volunteer such as taking care of sick people working in homes for homeless 3 children and picking up garbage 垃圾 from beaches and parks Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves Volunteers don t expect any kind of pay At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people Tracy a good friend of mine however recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa s homes in Calcutta The following is her story I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school we watched a video 录像 about her work in India and all over the world I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school I too wanted to try her kind of work So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks I was asked to work in a home for sick people I helped wash clothes and sheets and pass out lunch I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them To be honest I don t think I was helping very much It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help but to learn about and experience another culture 文化 that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world 36 According to the text a volunteer refers to a person who A is willing to help those in need without pay B can afford to travel to different places C has a strong wish to be successful D has made a big fortune in life 37 Tracy started her work as a volunteer A after she met Mother Teresa B after she finished high school C when she was touring Calcutta D when she was working in a hospital 38 Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer A She liked to work with Mother Teresa B She had already had some experience C She was asked by Mother Teresa s example D She wanted to follow Mother Teresa s example 39 What is Tracy s new idea Paragraph 2 of being a volunteer A Going abroad to help the sick B Working in Mother Teresa s home C Doing simple things to help the poor D Improving oneself through helping others B As nanny 保姆 cook cleaner shopper driver and gardener she has one of the most demanding jobs in Britain today And paying someone else to do the chores 家务活 which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost 349 At over 18 000 a year that s more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population including train drivers firemen prison officers and social worker Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into a even higher pay league According to a stud she earns 457 a week at nearly 24 000 a year the same as teachers engineers and chemists Researchers put a price on each chore then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them They found housewives spend an average 70 7 hours a week on housework 4 with looking after the children 17 9hours and cooking and cleaning 12 9 hours each the most time consuming 费时 A wife with a part time job still works and average of 59 hours a week at home Those in full time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace The good news is that these hours sharply as children get older While the average mother with child under one puts in 90 hours weekly the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten Mother of four Karen Williams from London said Paying the housewives may not be practical but the government should recognize the value of housework perhaps through the tax Running a house takes a lot of time and most husbands don t understand this For example my husband only puts a shelf up now and again He never cleans the kitchen that s the real test 40 Who earns most

week B 71 hours a week C 80 hours a week D 90 hours a week 43 By mentioning her husband Karen Williams wants to show that A housework is no easy job B her husband has no time to clean the kitchen C a housewife needs to be paid for cleaning D the kitchen is hard to clean C Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon Many people feel this way after lunch They may think that
