Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on(依靠)one another. That's why communities have special people ready to help people in need.
For example，what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire，as the Jacksons' place did last week，it might be burned down(烧毁) and people might get hurt...or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely.
And what about police officers? They protect our families，our homes and important things. The police have helped so many families this past year，especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rain.
Think about all the other service workers in this community. There are cleaners to collect rubbish and keep our community sanitary. We have road workers and they put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us，but our cars! And what would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?
Think again about what we eat every day and what we wear every day. We cannot produce(生产)them，but we use them all the time. These tireless workers keep our community running. We get a lot from them and need them in the community. We depend on each other. Let's help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

One day in autumn Squire Gordon，my master，went on a trip into town. John，my caretaker，went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy，but we travelled happily.
Gordon's business took a long time. We didn't leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John，“I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out，master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge，I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare(敢于)not go forward，and I made a dead stop. “Go on，Beauty，” said my master，and he gave me a touch with the whip(鞭子)，but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped，but I dare not go forward.
“There's something wrong，sir，” said John，and he got out and tried to lead me forward，“Come on，Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then the man on the other side saw us.
“Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried.
“What's the matter?” shouted my master.
“The bridge is broken in the middle，and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it，you'll be into the river.”
“Thank you for saving us，Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker，stiller and stiller.
When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon，“Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it，for I was tired.

Volunteering is an excellent way to give back to society. Volunteers help others and no one pays them. 12 They do it just because they love it. Do you often do voluntary work? Do you want to know how to find a place to volunteer? When you volunteer your time and skills to help others，you not only help them，but you also get valuable experience and develop new skills.
Volunteers can work with children，the elderly，the homeless，or anyone else who needs help. Many places welcome volunteers. For example，some animal shelters (庇护所)want volunteers. They want the volunteers to clean cages. They want the volunteers to give animals food and water. The volunteers can also walk animals like dogs and cats.
13 First，ask yourself a question：What do you love to do in your free time? If you like reading，you can volunteer at a library. 14 If you are good at looking after children，be a volunteer at a children's hospital. Finally，don't be shy to look for voluntary work.
In some Western countries，lots of young people love to do voluntary work. In their opinion，volunteering has many advantages. 15 They can meet new people and make new friends. Volunteering can also help them find a job in the future.
A. Next，know about your skills.
B. They do voluntary work for free.
C. How do you find right voluntary work?
D. They can learn a lot by doing voluntary work.
E. They do voluntary work for money.
