事给她班上的学生听。 The story said:

"Were you ever in a hospital when you were small？ How did you feel？" The doctors in Children's Hospital are asking for money for children's toys. Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks. Toys are needed to keep the sick children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital.

After Mrs. Weeks read the story，she said，"This story gave me an idea."

"You want us to bring some money for the toys." "We could bring some of our own toys for the children in the hospital, "said the boys and the girls one after another.

"Well, your ideas would be nice, "Mrs. Weeks said， "but mine is different."

"We could make some toys, "shouted one of them.

Mrs. Weeks smiled. "Do you think you could make toys？" she asked.

"Yes, yes, "the whole class answered.

"Great! Let's begin to make toys tomorrow, "said Mrs. Weeks.

On Saturday afternoon，Mrs. Weeks took the children to the hospital with the toys made by her students. The children in the hospital felt very happy to see the toys. So did the children in the class.

A few days later，Mrs. Weeks read another newspaper story to the class:

Some school pupils brought toys to Children's Hospital last week. The toys were made by the pupils of Grade Three in Green Street School. The doctors said，"We have never had so many wonderful toys. Our children are very happy with them. They say，'THANK YOU，GRADE THREE.'"

cnic. Any suggestions？

M: Well, everyone has been talking about having a barbecue down by the river, so why don't you pick up some hamburger and hot dogs？

W: Okay, but how much hamburger are we going to need？ And hot dogs too？

M: Uh, I don't know. How about three pounds of hamburger and a couple packages of hot dogs？

W: Oh, that's not going to be enough. Do you remember the last picnic we went on？ Your roommate, Jim, ate about ten hamburgers by himself!

M: You're right. Let's see. I'd better write this down. Uh, let's see about nine pounds of hamburger meat and, uh .... seven packages of hot dogs.

W: And you'd better pick up some chicken for those who don't like hamburger or hot dogs.

M: Okay. How about five or six bags of potato chips？

W: Humm. Better make that eight or so.

M: All right. Oh, and we're gonna need some hamburger and hot dog buns, How about five packages a piece？ I think that sounds about right.

W: Yeah, you'd better pick up some mustard, catchup, and mayonnaise too.

M: Okay. What else？ Uh, we're gonna need some soft drinks. How about ten of those big 2-liter bottles？

W: Sounds fine, but be sure to buy a variety of drinks.

M: Okay. And what about dessert？

W: Well, maybe we could ask Kathy to make a few cherry pies like she did last time.

M: Well, I heard that she's been very busy working two jobs, so we'd better not ask her, uh... Hey, why don't you whip up some of your oatmeal cookies？ Hey, you could even ask, uh... what's her name.., yeah that new girl, Susan, the one that moved in across the street! I bet she'd be willing to help you !

W: Nah, I don't think I could ask her, I haven't got a phone number. Anyway, I can try myself.

MY VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE AT THE YOUTH SERVICES CENTER LIBRARY

My experience at the library included{assisted; assisting; assist}kids during their library visit in a number of ways—reader's advisory, working with the kids during library skills sessions, and checking{out; up; in}books. Of all of these experiences, working through problems with the kids during library skills sessions was{/; more; most}rewarding. Some of the library skills sessions were on the computer and others were using print sources like newspapers and encyclopedias.

Reader's advisory for the kids was also rewarding. Through the recommendations of Jill Morrison, the YSCL's head librarian, and also talking with the kids themselves, I read quite a few young adult titles. Doing this reading and also reading other reviews of juvenile literature{enabled; made; let}me to give the kids recommendations for books they might enjoy.

One afternoon a high school-aged girl approached me{asking for; asking about; asking}books about college. She wanted to get all of the information that she could on college admission processes. Together using the library's webcat, we found some useful books for her. We also found some relevant websites. At the beginning of my experience at the YSCL, I felt that if I came away making a difference for only one person, I had succeeded. This young woman was so appreciative and enthusiastic about the information we found together that I think I met my goal.

A.Thank you very much for your valuable advice.

B.Could you let me know？

C.Would you please give us some valuable suggestions？

D.Could you do me a favor？

e to live in.Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms.A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America.Often the nearest neighbors are several hundred kilometers away.

The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms.It works much like a telephone.A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer.For example, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away.They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.

As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school.Radio schools were started for them in some places.At a certain time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities far away.

Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbors.The program "Round Robin" talks by radio was started to keep families in touch with each other.They could talk about who was going away and who was ill.The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money the markets would pay for them.In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.

1、From the first paragraph, we know there are some very large farms in Australia.()

2、"The two-way radio" in the 2nd paragraph is useful for children only.()

3、The "the sick person" in the second paragraph means the person who is ill.()

At the same time, more of this newly 38 oil is of the type that requires a greater investment to 39 . And because demand for this precious resource will grow, according to some, by over 40 percent by 2025, fueling the world’s economic 40 will take a lot more energy from every possible source.

The energy industry needs to get more from existing fields while continuing to search for new 41 . Automakers must continue to improve fuel efficiency and perfect hybrid (混合动力的) vehicles. Technological improvements are needed so that wind, solar and hydrogen can be more 42 parts of the energy equation. Governments need to formulate energy policies that promote 43 and environmentally sound development. Consumers must be willing to pay for some of these solutions, while practicing conservation efforts of their own.

Inaction is not an 44 . So let’s work together to balance this equation. We are taking some of the 45 needed to get started, but we need your help to go the rest of the way.
