a volunteer is great. A. Being B. Be C. To D. To being——青夏教育精英家教网—

　　In every country, there are thousands of people who want to help out．Many join organizations run (管理) by their governments, for example, the Peace Corps in the United States and Voluntary Service Overseas in Britain．Since the powerful (猛烈的) earthquake took place in Sichuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have been helping there! They do all kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life．Some offer their professional skills for free．Others have no qualifications (资历), but they love to work hard to help．

　　One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa．She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta．She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families．

　　Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities, too．They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something．They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher．As they get older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on-the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life．

　　All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways．They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villages．Could you be a volunteer? What kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you．

       Every year, more and more students become volunteers. The projects may be with their school,
neighborhood, or town, but the work of all volunteers is important. Students find that there are many
advantages to volunteering.
        First, volunteering helps others. Many people complain about problems in our society. Volunteers
are part of the solution to the problems! While it is easy to complain about things that are not right, the
volunteer takes action rather than complaining. When a student spends time working at a retirement
(退休) home, cleaning up a park, or teaching a younger student, the volunteer makes the world a better
place.
        Second, being a volunteer makes students feel good about themselves. When a student volunteer
knows that his or her efforts have made someone else's life better, the volunteer feels great. Students
always hear people saying that everyone should care about other people. Volunteers make it happen.
Although some volunteer work is long or tiring, student volunteers end the day knowing they did the right
thing. Their parents, teachers, and the public are proud of them. Knowing they did the right thing makes
them feel better, even if they are tired.
        Finally, students learn that volunteering is fun. A group of students might volunteer to clean up a
riverbed in early spring. It is fun to be with their friends, to enjoy the weather, and to picnic later in a
beautiful, clean area. Other students might read to young children in a playgroup. It is fun to spend time
with children and to have them smile and laugh. No matter what their ages or talents are, every student
can be a volunteer. The work of student volunteers is a powerful force that makes the world a better
place.
