Kenya

Kenya is the destination for those seeking an African experience.Generally volunteers in Kenya work in orphanages (孤儿院) or with local children living in slums (贫民窟).There is a great demand for volunteers in Africa because many people live in poverty,so if you truly feel like making a difference to a community,Kenya should be at the top of your list.

CostaRica

Golden sandy beaches,clear coastlines and beautiful cities are what Costa Rica is all about.Because of its small size,you can see a lot of the country in just a short time.You can really make the most of your time as a volunteer.A lot of work is needed with wildlife and ecological work,so if you want to look after turtles on the beach,Costa Rica could be just the place for you.

Dogs may help save the day in the Philippines,as they use their noses to smell out survivors buried by Friday’s mudslide(泥石流).The team of dogs arrived in the Philippines from Spain,and this Tuesday they were just beginning their work.Search officials told CNN they hope the recent rain will wash away the smell of rescue teams so the dogs can do their job more accurately.

The dogs were brought in after sound equipment found sounds coming from deep inside the ruins,at a place where a school stood before the mudslide covered it.The sounds could mean people are still alive under all the mud or it could just be the earth resettling.

On Monday,rescue workers worked at the school site until three in the morning,trying to locate survivors,and they will begin digging again as soon as the dogs think they find someone.

Human teams from the US,Malaysia,and Australia are all trying to help,too.But so far they haven’t located any survivors yet.Rescue workers told CNN that an earlier report that 50 survivors had been found was false.

How did all that mud bury the village in the first place?On Friday,2,400-foot Mt Kanabag turned into a mudslide after two weeks of constant rain weakened it.The mountain crumbled and the mud fell onto the village Guinsaugon,burying the 1,800 people who lived there.Out of the 300 houses in the village,only 3 were not covered by the mud.The village is on a southern Philippine Island called Levte.Rescue efforts have been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport.Hopefully,the dogs can help their human friends find survivors.

4.According to the search officials’ words in the first paragraph,we can learn that 　　　.

C.it was difficult to reach the village

D.there is little chance to save the survivors

Taylor has a very Forrest Gump-ian view of the ocean:“You never know what you’re going to find out there beyond the limit of your visibility.” Like Gump and his box of chocolates,Taylor,now 85 years old,holds burning curiosity for our oceans after a lifetime of swimming in them and learning about the oldest animal to still exist,the shark.

Taylor grew up on the coast of New South Wales.She began spear fishing and worked her way up in her early 20s to become one of very few women who were professional spear fishers.But as she spent more time underwater—especially with the sharks,of which she only ever killed one—she had a change of heart and decided,along with her late husband and world spear fishing champion,Ron Taylor,to hang up her spear.From that point on,she would only shoot them with her camera.Thus,the Taylors became two of the first underwater photographers and cinematographers documenting sharks.

As a pioneering shark conservationist,Taylor succeeded in many firsts throughout her life’s work.She was the first person to dive with sharks cageless,and the first person to put on a special suit to test the power of a shark bite.She was also the first to hand-feed a Great White Shark and even pet it.Her husband was the first person in the world to film a Great White Shark swimming underwater.Together they filmed all the live-action scenes with sharks,and because the public’s reaction to the film was so full of fear,they went on countless PR (public relations) tours to help correct the malign creatures’ image.

Her research has become the basis for much of what we know about sharks today and she succeeded in becoming the first person to get Grey Nurse sharks protected in a specific area.There’s nothing she wouldn’t do to help prove that sharks are not dangerous monsters.

8.What is the similarity between Taylor and Forrest Gump?

A.Fond of chocolates.

B.Good at swimming.

C.Crazy about ocean animals.

D.Eager to explore the unknown.

9.Why was Taylor successful in being many firsts?

A.She gave up spear fishing.

B.She shifted her interest to photography.

C.She devoted much of her life to shark conservation.

D.She wanted to become a world spear fishing champion.

10.What does the underlined word “malign” mean in paragraph 3?

A.Frightening. B.Tricky.

C.Selfish. D.Ugly.

11.What is the significance of Taylor’s research?

A.Proving that sharks are endangered.

B.Having changed the false image of sharks.

C.Laying fundamental knowledge about sharks.

D.Managing to get the Great White Sharks protected.

If you feel depressed(消沉的),it’s best to do something about it—depression doesn’t just go away on its own.In addition to getting help from a doctor,here are four things you can do to feel better.

Exercise.Take a 15-to-30-minute walk every day—or dance and bike if you prefer.　1　 But make yourself do it anyway.Once you get in the exercise habit,it won’t take long to notice a difference in your mood. 

Provide yourself with good nutrition.Depression can affect appetite(食欲).One person may not feel like eating at all,but another might overeat.　2　 So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals(even if you don’t feel hungry,try to eat something light,like a piece of fruit,to keep you going). 

Find out troubles.　3　 When you know what’s got you feeling blue and why,talk about it with a caring friend.Talking is a way to receive some understanding.If there’s no one to tell,pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well. 

　4　 Depression affects a person’s thoughts,making everything seem unhappy and hopeless.If depression has you noticing only the negative,make an effort to notice the good things in life.Try to notice one thing,and then try to think of one more.Consider your strengths or gifts. 

Most of all,don’t forget to be patient with yourself.　5　 

A.Look on the bright side.

B.Take action to solve problems.

C.Depression takes time to heal.

D.Proper nutrition can affect a person’s mood and energy.

E.People who are depressed may not feel much like being active.

F.Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression.

G.With depression,a person’s creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked.
