Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he'd better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesn't matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don't think they will come to visit me.”
After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him.

After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia.

Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children.

When it comes to benefits of volunteering, a lot of people think it's all about the warm feelings after helping someone. For example, volunteering...
1)Teaches you new skills
From helping make websites to teaching kids languages, to arranging events for charity, volunteering can really be almost anything. And through overcoming these you learn and start to master completely new skills.
2)Can be relevant work experience
Something that seems to stop many is that experience often seems to be a prerequisite (必备条件) for some jobs. There's many a journalist that gets his or her start through volunteering for a college or university paper, and that's not at all the only profession this applies to.
3)Can be therapeutic (治疗的)
One of my close friends has completely transformed since she started working for disabled kids. It allows you to see the world and other people from a whole different point of view, which in turn can make you grateful for what you already have and see your own personal value.
4)Helps you expand your network
One of the great things for volunteering is that you meet a wide variety of people. Sometimes it's very convenient to have a broad network.
A. Volunteering helps you grow as a person.
B. As it turns out, that's far from the only benefit.
C. Volunteering can actually help you get the experience you need.
D. Volunteering helps you look outside yourself and your problems.
E. It's a way to prove that you've not just been sitting and doing nothing.
F. That means when you get involved in voluntary work, you will face many challenges.
G. You're getting to know people involved in many different walks in life that you wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet otherwise.
