Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start
work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers (志愿者). Volunteers
give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for
the environment.
Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now
she's living in Belize. Pauline says, "I'm working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the
sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted (污染), the coral dies. I'm
helping to do research on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are
dying. We need to do something about the problem before it's too late."
"I'm staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don't get any money, but that's OK. I love
my work here, and I'm learning a lot about the people of Belize-and myself! When I finish my work, I want to
stay here for another three months. I want to travel around Belize and Central America."

Mr. King is a tall and strong man. He teaches P.E. in a middle school. He wears a long beard(胡子)and takes good care of it.
It was Sunday yesterday. There was a big football match of the year on the playground in the centre of the city. Mr. king likes the game very much and of course he was going to watch it. With his friends' help he got a ticket a few days ago.
After breakfast he hurried to the bus stop, but a lot of people were waiting there. A bus came and he hardly got on. There were plenty of people in it and it was difficult for them to put their feet. He had to grip(抓住)a back of the chair. At the next stop a boy got on the bus. He was short and couldn't grip anything. Suddenly the bus stopped and the boy hardly fell onto the floor. He looked around and saw Mr. King's beard and grip it. The man found it at once and called out, "Let go of(松开)my beard, boy!"
"Are you going to get off, sir?" asked the boy.
