I would recommend uVolunteer Programs in Costa Rica(哥斯达黎加) to anyone. Everyone can learn something and enjoy their time here if they have the ability to adapt to different circumstances and a sense of adventure.

I came to San Ramon---the capital of Costa Rica, hardly knowing any Spanish, so the first thing I did there was to take Spanish courses at Spanish Language School for a week. My family stay was also of great help to my language study, but that experience with the classes gave me a huge jumpstart on the language, which has been extremely valuable.

Once in San Ramon, I was fortunate enough to experience several projects with amazing people. I taught Adult English Night Classes, helped at an elementary school, and also went to the Community Center in Bajo. The adult classes are just so awesome because it can be really engaging, social, and fun while being educational. We all learned a lot from each other and became pretty close. The Sabana School was a nice elementary school right by the dorm. The kids were so incredibly nice, even giving me lots of hugs and small gifts. I came at a time when there were many holiday celebrations so there were some scheduling challenges, resulting in me being there to assist English classes a couple of hours in the morning. I decided to go to Bajo in the afternoons. I, like all of the other volunteers, absolutely loved it. This is a place where I felt I was really helping in a more significant way. The kids started to open up more to me the more I was there playing with the kids and helping with the educational programs. The staff and kids are just incredible.

Aside from work, we decided on some weekend trips. By the end of my stay I had experienced hot volcanic springs in La Fortuna, snorkeling and hiking with incredible wildlife in Puerto Viejo, caving in Nicaragua, and kayaking and night fishing (we ate the fish too) in Playa Hermosa. I also enjoyed dancing, eating, and watching performances during the San Ramon festivals.

1.Everyone can benefit from uVolunteer Programs in Costa Rica as long as ______.

A. they learn to speak Spanish

B. they are flexible and adventurous

C. they live in a local family

D. they experience different projects

2. The underlined words in paragraph 2 probably mean ______.

A. a big surprise

B. a complete understanding

C. an excellent beginning

D. an emotional experience

3.The author participated in several volunteer projects in San Ramon EXCEPT _____.

A. taking Spanish courses

D. teaching Adult English Night classes

I look in the mirror, and I'm not happy with what I see. I don't have a "perfect" face. I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair, blue eyes, and, of course, a pretty little nose. They're on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards(广告牌)I walk under. Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical "perfection". These billboards not only tell me what to drink, but also how to look.

Our society places more importance on a person's physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character. We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries(手术)and starve themselves to become this society-built physical model. To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother. It means you have the perfect jaw, eyes and lips. It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.

But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom, we try to prevent the aging process (过程). It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty. Fifty is a relaxed age, when you can step back and look at all you've achieved(successfully complete something). It is when your hard work pays off. Unfortunately, our society just sees you as “old”. To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle(皱纹)creams, do eye lifts and face lifts. They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.

I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body. I hated the way I looked. I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that "you don't want anyone to like your appearance. It's your heart that is important, because beauty fades(消逝)." I knew that she was right. If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, which lasts and remains on even after you die.

1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that .

A. the author doesn't have a perfect face

B. women have to look beautiful

C. photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere

D. there are too many beauties in daily life

2.What's the author's attitude towards being "old"?

A. It's a pity that people have to get old.

B. It's a fruitful and wise time.

C. It's stupid to try to stay young.

D. It's a pity that society looks down upon the old.

3.It is that regard(s) the physical beauty as more important.

A. women themselves

B. the author's parents

C. newspapers and magazines

D. society

4.What's the author's opinion about beauty?

A. The author doesn't like the beauties our society values.

B. It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not.

C. It is a person's heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty.

D. The author feels appearance is important to a person.
