答案：1-5 CABDB；6-10 DBCCA
解析：
1. 根据前文“excited to volunteer...but a little”以及后文“What would these students be like?”，作者既兴奋又有点紧张，nervous（紧张的）符合语境。
2. 前文“Most were quiet”和后文“they ran and laughed at break”是转折关系，though（尽管）表转折，符合逻辑。
3. 根据后文“put it up on the wall”和“with the words 'You are seen' on it”，能贴在墙上且带有文字的是noticeboard（布告板）。
4. 根据后文“She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger.”，Wen没有抬头看，look up（抬头看）符合语境。
5. 结合语境，课程是被精心规划的，carefully（仔细地，精心地）符合语义。
6. 根据前文“But my effort seemed to make little difference.”，作者不确定自己做的事是否有意义，meaningful（有意义的）符合语境。
7. 根据后文“In my last class, she came up and gave me the lantern.”，Wen手里拿的是lantern（灯笼）。
8. 根据后文“In the following days, she began to talk more.”，她坐得更近了，closer（更近的）符合语境。
9. 灯笼的作用是提供光，所以此处表示“你总会有光”，light（光）符合语义。
10. 根据前文“I came to give light”以及后文“shining in both directions”，作者来给予光，却发现光被悄悄回馈了，returned（返回，回馈）符合语境。

Have you ever worked as a volunteer? What can we students do to help others in our daily lives?(At least 5 sentences ______ )
Exercise 4 of Unit 6 of 8B Grammar
答案：I have ever worked as a volunteer. Last summer, I went to a nursing home with my classmates to help the elderly. We cleaned their rooms, talked with them and sang songs for them. It made me feel warm and meaningful to bring happiness to those lonely old people.
As students, we can do a lot of things to help others in our daily lives. First, we can help our classmates who are weak in their studies by explaining difficult knowledge to them. Second, we can pick up the litter in our schoolyard or community to keep the environment clean and tidy. Third, we can help our neighbors look after their pets or take care of their kids when they are not at home. Fourth, we can volunteer to organize books in the school library at weekends. What's more, we can donate our old clothes and stationery to the children in poor areas. Small kindnesses can make a big difference to the world around us.
