   Volunteering gives you a good chance to change lives,including your own. If you’re feeling amazed by the news of a disaster,volunteering to help can be a great way to make you comfortable. If you’d like to support a cause but can't afford to donate (捐献) money,you can donate your time instead.

   Helping others in need is such an important part of the AmericansJ way of life that many high schools ask their students to spend time volunteering in order to graduate.

   Unlike school,with volunteering,you have to get to choose what really interests you and who (or what) is most deserving (值得) of your time. Here are some ideas to get you to start:

   Help kids learn and grow. Become a Big Brother or Big Sister,or volunteer for an after-school sports program. Special Olympic games and events are great ways to get to know special-needs kids.

   Help the environment. Join a conservation group and help out with river preservation (保护). Take part in a local park cleanup day. You could also help out in a park office or education center.

   If you have more than one thing you love,find a way to put the two together. For example,if you love kids and are great at art,visit your local children's hospital and offer (提供) art activities for young patients.

   Deep down in the sea,Oliver,a little octopus (章鱼) sat on the floor covered with sand,bored and upset. He watched pretty fish swimming in and out of rocks,which were laughing and dancing in the sea. aWhy am I so different?” he said to himself sadly.

   “You are an octopus,Oliver. That's special." The sweet voice of Cherub,a beautiful purple angelfish (神仙鱼) ,always made Oliver feel better. Oliver looked up at the purple angelfish and smiled. Cherub suggested ,“Let's play hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) .” They were having so much fun that they didn't realize they had swum far from home. Suddenly,Cherub saw a large shark (鲨鱼) swimming above them. “It was Big White. .. the biggest,scariest shark in the sea ,” she shouted to Oliver. Cherub looked at Big White hopelessly. She was too frightened to swim. Just at this moment,Big White rushed down toward them. An idea came to Oliver. He quickly sprayed (喷射) a very dark cloud of black water to the shark's eyes. Then Oliver and Cherub escaped and got home safely.
