【解析】很多人都觉得做志愿者去帮助别人是很困难的事，其实并没有你想象的那么难，即使你没有很多钱，你也可以去帮助别人，这样你自己也会变得很开心。

【1】推理判断题。根据短文的第一句话Helping others is easier than you think可知，帮助别人比你想的要更容易。言外之意是人们总是觉得帮助别人是困难的，故应选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文中you can give away your time as a volunteer, you can donate your knowledge teaching poor children, you can donate your old clothes, you can donate food or you can share a meal with a hungry child可知，如果你很穷，你也可以帮助别人，你可以捐出你的时间、知识、你的旧衣服、捐食物等等。由此可知A和B都对，选C。

【3】词义猜测题。根据文意可知，这篇短文说的是帮助那些有需要的人，homeless这个单词中有home，意思是家；less是表示否定意思的一个后缀，因此这个单词的意思应该是无家可归的。故选B。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文第一段中You can become a volunteer, you can donate (捐献) your time, you can donate your old clothes and so on. And in doing so, you can become a better and happier person.可知，通过帮助别人，你可以变成一个更好、更开心的人。故C是正确的。

【5】主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述的是去帮助别人，即使你没有很多钱，你也可以去帮助别人的。因此A选项是符合文意的。B选项不符合文意，帮助别人并没有那么难；C选项太片面了。
