Volunteering means spending some of your free time helping others. You may volunteer to help other people, but you can also volunteer to protect animals, the environment, or any other thing that you care about.
Volunteering helps others, but it can also help you. If you’re worried about something that’s happened, doing something can be a great way to cope with（处理） your feelings.
Volunteering can let you see your own life in new ways. Sometimes it’s easy to worry about things like grades or get angry because you don’t have the most expensive shoes or the newest computer game. Volunteering lets you spend some time on others for a while.

◎Serve food at a homeless shelter.
◎Give meals to people who are elderly or ill at home.

文章点评：
通过向大家展示什么是志愿者，志愿者的工作有哪些，以及志愿者工作能够在许多的方面帮助孩子。 “顺手捡起一片纸，纯洁的是自己的精神；俯身擦去地上一块污渍，净化的是自己的灵魂。”——这句话是一位志愿者的心声，其实我们可以在闲暇之余多去用志愿者的行动充实我们的生活，从我做起，从身边的小事做起。

长难句分析：
Volunteering means spending some of your free time helping others.此句话中涉及到动名词做主语的知识点。mean + doing“意味着”sb. spend some time(in)doing sth.某人花费时间做某事。
动名词做主语的用法：
动名词做主语往往表示经常性、习惯性的动作，在口语中也可以表示具体的动作。如：
Painting is his hobby. 绘画是他的爱好。
Talking mends no holes. 空谈无济于事。
动名词做主语和不定式做主语一样，也可以用it作形式主语。如：
It is no use talking without doing. 光说不做没有用。
不定式做主语往往表示具体的特别是将来的动作。如：
It’s so hot. What I want to do now is to have a swim in a river.
天这么热，现在我想做的事是在河里游泳。
学以致用:
—What do you think made Mary so upset？
— __________ her new bicycle.
A. As she lost B. Lost
C. Losing D. Because of losing
Key: 该题正确选项为C, losing her new bicycle是句子的主语，谓语made her so upset被省略，losing．．．在此表示具体的动作。
寄语：本篇文章中涉及的动名词做主语的句子很多，还有很多非谓语动词的其他用法，大家可以一一找出来，然后分析一下，以后用在所写的作文中。此外，本篇阅读理解的主题是志愿者，志愿者这个主题在中考作文中也是很常见的，所以希望大家可以把本篇文章中比较好的词语、段落一一背诵下来。

B

Younger adults who get either little sleep or a lot of it may see a greater increase in their waistlines(腰围) over time, a study suggests.
The study included 332 African-American and 775 Hispanic-American (拉丁裔美国人) men and women aged 18 to 81. The researchers measured their abdominal (腹部的) fat, at the start of the study and again five years later.
Among the people younger than 40 in the research, the study found, those who said they slept for five hours or less each night gained more fat than those who averaged six or seven hours of sleep. Those who slept eight hours or more in bed each night also showed a bigger fat gain - but it was not as much as that seen in "short sleepers."
The findings, according to the lead researcher Dr. Kristen, support the belief that sleep habits affect weight, and health in general. "Sleep is an important part of your overall health -- not just in whether you're tired during the day," she said.
As for why sleep time might affect abdominal-fat gain, there are several facts:
People who get too little sleep may be too tired during the day to exercise, while those who spend a lot of time in bed may spend less time being active, comparing to people who sleep fewer hours. Research also suggests that sleep loss changes people's appetite-regulating hormones（胃口调节荷尔蒙）-- which could, in theory, make them overeat.
What’s more, depression, which is a feeling of sadness that makes people think there is no hope for the future, could also be a reason. He also noted that it often affects people's sleep and has been linked to weight gain.

A. Younger adults who sleep for five hours or less
B. People who sleep more than 8 hours every day
C. Younger adults who are from Africa or America
D. People who sleep about six or seven hours a day
2. The underlined word “that” refers to ______.
A. a fat gain B. sleep habits C. too little sleep D. too much sleep
3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The more we sleep, the more energetic we will be.

The ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way. Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.
“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group in Scotland. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”
Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity. The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy, and it is already being used in Scotland.
Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”
When waves come towards the coast, people can set up dams(大坝) to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮). The turbine can then power an electrical generator(发电机).
We will never run out of wave power. Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as oil and coal do.
Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface. That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world. But there are some disadvantages that need us to pay more attention to.
Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money. He said that its influence on animals in the sea is still unknown. Besides, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.
With more research, “Many of these problems might be solved,” Taylor said. “Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.”
In the future, when you turn on a light button, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

1. We can learn from the passage that__________________.
A. almost every country is making use of the wave power at present
B. it is necessary for us to develop wave power instead of oil and coal
C. wave power will be sure to make some bad influence on sea animals
D. scientists are making efforts to find new ways of fishing and boat traffic
2. What does the fourth paragraph tell us?
A. Why scientists are doing the research on wave power.
B. What experience that scientists have achieved so far.
C. How the wave energy forms and grows bigger.
D. Which countries are trying out wave power.
3. What’s the writer’s attitude towards wave power?
A. The writer believes that wave power will be used widely by man.
B. The writer doubts if wave energy can be changed into electricity.
C. The writer is sure the experiments will come to the end some day.
D. The writer thinks that wave power isn’t worth researching at all.

4. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Sea Animals and Wave Power. B. How Do We Get Wave Energy?
C. The Advantages of Wave Power. D. Can Waves Make Electricity?
Keys: 1:B 2:C 3:A 4:D

Three years ago, five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona, thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey where they had been looked after by zookeepers. No evolutionary(进化的) strategies(策略) informed them how to behave in this new landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied(未占领的) by their kind for 50 years. To the researchers’ surprise, they failed to make contact with(与…联系)a group of wild parrots imported(进口)from Mexico and set free at the same time. Within 24 hours the reintroducing（再引入）ended in failure, and the poor birds were back in cages, on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme.
Ever since then, the programme has enjoyed great success, mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally(不合法) caught in the wild, confiscated (没收)on arrival north of the border（边界）, and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme. The experience shows how little we know about the behavior and psychology(心理) of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher, points out: “Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. People like parrots, always treating them as nothing more than（只不过，仅仅） pets or valuable ‘collectables’．”
Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behavior of this family of birds. Last year was an important turning point：conservationists（自然资源保护者）founded the World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both wild and caged birds.
Research on parrots is vital(至关重要的) for two reasons. First, as the Arizona programmer showed, when reintroducing parrots to the wild, we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home. We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets, particularly as the Trust’s campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges（催促） people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans.
1. What do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroduced?
A. Its landscape is new to parrots of their kind.
B. It used to be home to parrots of their kind.
C. It is close to where they had been kept.
D. Pine trees were planted to attract birds.
2. The reintroducing experience three years ago shows that man raised parrots________.
A. can find their way back home in Jersey
B. are unable to recognize their parents
C. are unable to adapt to the wild
D. can produce a new species
3. Why are researches on parrots important according to the passage?
A. The trust shows great concern for the programmer.
B. We need to know more about how to preserve parrots.
C. Many people are interested in collecting parrots.
D. Parrots’ intelligence may some day benefit people.
4. According to the passage, people are advised________.
A. to treat wild and caged parrots equally
B. to set up comfortable homes for parrots
C. not to keep wild parrots as pets
D. not to let more parrots go to the wild
Keys: 1-4: BCBC

长难句分析：
We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets, particularly as the Trust’s campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans.我们也需要更多了解宠物鹦鹉的需要，尤其因为信托基金运动并不旨在劝阻这一做法，而是督促买鹦鹉作宠物的人选择人工培育的鹦鹉。
句中的not...but...表示“不是……而是……”。连接两个并列的句子attempt to discourage the practice和rather urges people who buy parrots...。其中urge sb.to do sth.表示“督促某人做某事”。
