1、 People do volunteer work for many reasons. Let’s look at several top reasons. After each reason, there is an example. Check (打上钩) the box if the example matches (与…相一致) what you want to get from the volunteer experience:
You want to help in a place which is important to you. For example, you might choose to clean up the city parks because you want them to be better places.
You want to meet others. When I moved to the town I now live in, I volunteered at my son’s school because I wanted to meet other people with their children.
You want to learn something new. 我的儿子过去很喜欢戏剧,但是他害怕上台。After watching so many plays on stage (在舞台上)by others, he now volunteers for one theater.他想得到一些训练并且慢慢地学到舞台经验。
Which did you check? Your reason or reasons for becoming a volunteer will help guide you along your way. Maybe you didn’t check any. That is fine. There are other reasons why you want to become a volunteer. Although everyone has his or her own reason, becoming a volunteer will open a new door for us and may change our life, and you will feel like you really make a difference!

21、
During the two sessions (两会), Lei Jun, the founder (创始人) of China’s tech company Xiaomi, called for more e-waste recycling (回收利用) plans in China.
According to the 2020 UN Global E-waste Monitor, the world’s e-waste will reach 74.7 million tons by 2030.
The report also found that only 17.4 percent of the world’s e-waste was collected and recycled in 2019. This means that gold, silver, copper (铜) and other high-value materials were mostly burned or throw instead of reused. It’s a waste of 57 billion dollars, or 360 billion yuan. E-waste can also harm the environment and people’s health. For example, one mobile phone battery can pollute 600,000 liters of water.
China is now the world’s largest producer of e-waste, followed by the US, India and Japan, according to the UN report. Tech companies are looking for different ways to solve the problem. For example, US company Apple built a robot called Daisy to take 200 iPhones apart. It can take 200 iPhones apart within an hour. Previously the phones were cut up before people took the useful materials out. Now with Daisy, valuable materials can be pulled out more easily.
Samsung plans to use recycled materials in all of its new products by the year 2025. It also plans to reduce e-waste by improving product life cycles. Xiaomi is also setting up e-waste recycling platforms so that people can donate or sell their old electronics more easily.
【1】What did Lei Jun advise people to do?
A.To reduce the use of e-products.
B.To buy more smartphones.
C.To recycle more e-waste.
D.To improve China’s e-products.
【2】In which year did the amount of e-waste reach about 74.7 million tons?
A.2014.
B.2019.
C.2020.
D.2030.
【3】According to the passage, what can be caused by dumping e-waste?
A.Waste of materials.
B.Harm to public health.

【4】Why does the writer mention (提及) Apple’s Daisy, Samsung and Xiaomi?
A.To discuss reasons for dealing with e-waste.
B.To show people’s daily life in the US, Korea and China.
C.To give examples of reusing e-waste.
D.To advise our country to work together with others.

23、 A new series of Chinese Maths textbooks was published in the UK following the success of the previous edition, with an expert saying Chinese Maths textbooks are generally more difficult for UK students. However, new Chinese Maths textbooks teach UK students learning skills.
Yi Ke Yi Lian, or One Lesson, One Exercise, is a series of popular textbooks for primary and junior high schools in Shanghai. For about 20 years, this series has helped students to practice what they have learned in class. This summer, the Maths textbook series was published in the UK.
The British version has 11 volumes (册), as there are 11 grades from primary school to high school in the UK. The publishers cut out part of the content in the Chinese version to go with the curriculum setting (课程安排) there. They also changed some terms (术语) and background knowledge. But the overall difficulty level is the same.
The move follows the British government’s efforts to learn from Shanghai’s Maths teaching methods starting from last year. In the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA.国际学生评估项目), Shanghai students got the first place on the Maths exam while British students got 24th place.
In September, the British government invited 60 of Shanghai’s top Maths teachers to British schools to share their teaching experience. A number of teachers from the UK also visited Shanghai for experience.
“It seems that the Shanghai teaching methodology (方法) uses resources much more effectively,” said Liz Truss, a government education officer. We have stagnated (停滞) in our Maths performance for the last 15 years, and it’s time for us to learn and apply good practices.”
【1】The British publishers ________ before publishing the textbooks.
A.added more content to the books
B.changed the curriculum setting
C.changed some of the book’s background knowledge
D.changed the overall difficulty level of the books
【2】In the 2012 PISA, students from which country got the first place on the Maths exam?
A.The UK. B.China. C.Japan. D.The USA.
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The UK is using Chinese Maths books. B.How to improve UK kids’ Maths skills.
C.Lots of practice can make a difference. D.China has the best teaching methodology.
