Ⅲ. 阅读理解(每小题 2 分,满分 20 分)

In today's world, applying to(申请) colleges, even jobs, pays more attention to volunteering. You need to show how much you've helped the community. This is great! I know some people who are quick to talk about how they help others. Smiling big and proud, they tell me about the number of volunteer hours. But sometimes I find out that they don't even know the mission(使命) of the group! Although this only happened twice, it really troubled me. So I start to think that maybe this isn't the best way to think about helping others.
▲ It should be more about making your community better, and learning what it means to be a good person in our world. You should think about helping others, not about how you'll benefit.
The best way to fix this is to change what colleges and jobs ask for. Instead of asking "how many hours have you helped", they should ask "how have you made things better for others". They should ask people to explain, and look for people who really care and try hard, instead of just counting the hours they've spent.
We, the students, can also help fix this problem. Try to forget about the hours, because they're not important. Choose groups you care about and learn about the people you're helping. Don't help because you have to, but because it's the right thing to do as a person. Next time you hear friends talking about how many hours they've helped, tell them that numbers don't change the world.
1. Some people talk about the number of volunteer hours to show their
A. worry
B. satisfaction(满足)
C. sadness
D. surprise
2. 新考法补全文章 Which of the following can be put in "▲"?
A. Why don't you try volunteering?
B. Helping others shouldn't be only about numbers.
C. More and more people are helping the community.
D. Maybe you know why to help others.
3. To fix the problem mentioned(提及) in the passage, colleges and jobs should look for people who
A. spend the longest time in volunteering
B. benefit from helping others
C. really make a difference
D. learn about the group
4. Which is NOT a good way for the students to think about helping others according to the writer?
A. Helping because you have to.
B. Caring about and choosing a group.
C. Learning about the people in need.
D. Thinking it's the right thing to help.
5. 语言能力分析能力 What's the writer's attitude(态度) towards the number of volunteer hours?
A. He hates it very much.
B. He agrees with it strongly.
C. He is careful about it.
D. He doesn't really care.
