Question

When I wake up on summer mornings, I know I am going to my favorite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone's life just by being with him or her -- a summer school for autistic (患孤独症的)children.

      By helping the kids read or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping them feel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas. 

      Of course, each kid is special. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.

      At the school, the kids learn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skills they will need later in life.

      The very first day I volunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said “Hello”. From then on, I knew I could make a difference.

      Another boy loved to have me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could be encouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during reading practice, he read nearly 220 words himself!

      Summer school is also a time for fun, Last summer, bagpipe(风箱)players came to perform. Most of us had our hands over our ears because they were so loud. When they asked for a volunteer from the audience, one girl raised her hand as high as she could, got up on stage, and even tried the bagpipes in front of everyone.

      Through these experiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing many amazing things. I'm teaching them, but they are teaching me more.

试题分析：文章主要介绍了作者作为一个志愿者，利用暑假去帮助孤独症儿童的事情。孤独症儿童不像一些人认为的那样，他们什么都不会做，相反，他们有的擅长画画，有的喜欢唱歌。他们只是在某些方面需要帮助。

1.更加第二段“There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel.”可知，一些观念像孤独症儿童不能思考和感受是不正确的。故选D。

2.更加最后一段“the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing many amazing things”可知，这些经历指的是那些孤独症儿童所做的事情，而不是作者做的，B、C、D都是孤独症儿童做的事情，A是作者做的。故选A。

3.文章主要介绍了作者作为一个志愿者，利用暑假去帮助孤独症儿童的事情。作者教孤独症儿童学习知识，排除A；B项的“other’s”范围太大；文章没有提到孤独症儿童的生活很困难，排除D；故选C。
