Question

【题目】 Unlike students in China, Canadian high school students usually have lots of free time, especially during weekends, since Canadian teachers often give little homework. So how do Canadian teenagers spend their weekends? Well, volunteering makes up most of their free time.

In Canada, volunteering is a quite common thing among people of all ages, as they believe that being helpful is one of the most important qualities to have. There are many kinds of volunteer work. Chances to help are everywhere, including in schools, shopping malls, or even people's gardens.

Now, I'm volunteering for a charity (慈善机构). My job is to help the teachers at the charity's Chinese language school. I teach in a preschool class, where students are aged from 3 to 6.

When I first started, I was quite nervous as I'd never worked with little kids before.

Then, as time went on, I became more familiar with the students. One teacher asked me to help the youngest girl in the class draw a picture based on the word "grateful". As I was drawing and talking with her, I felt warm and peaceful and suddenly realized that it was not that difficult to work with children. When the class was over, I breathed out deeply, feeling really excited and even a little bit proud of what I'd done.

Volunteering gives us a chance to change someone's life, including our own. It gives us the satisfaction of helping others. Volunteering is also a great way to give back to society while developing social skills and meaningful experience for the days ahead. That's also the reason why Canaan high school students have to volunteer for at least 40 hours in order to graduate. I think helping other always good.

【1】Canadian students spend their weekends quite different from Chinese students.

【2】It's normal for Canadians to offer help in different places.

【3】Now, the writer is volunteering to teach the kids in a primary school.

【4】The writer managed to help a girl in the class, and the teacher was very satisfied.

【4】B

【5】A

【解析】

本文主要讲述了一个加拿大高中生利用周末时间去中国语言学校志愿帮助孩子们学习语言的经历。

【1】细节理解题。根据第1大段“Unlike students in China, Canadian high school students usually have lots of free time,”不像中国的学生，加拿大的高中生经常有很多空余时间。可知，加拿大的孩子和中国孩子度过周末的时间的方式不一样是正确的。故答案填A。

【2】细节理解题。根据第2大段“In Canada, volunteering is a quite common thing among people of all ages, Chances to help are everywhere, including in schools, shopping malls, or even people's gardens.”在加拿大，志愿服务是所有年龄段的人都很常见的事情。到处都有机会，如学校，购物商场等。可知，加拿大人在不同地方提供帮忙是正常的。故答案填A。

【3】细节理解题。根据第3大段“I teach in a preschool class,”我在学前班教书。可知，作者现在是在学前班教书而不是在小学。故答案填B。

【4】细节理解题。根据第5大段“When the class was over, I breathed out deeply, feeling really excited and even a little bit proud of what I'd done.”课上完了，我深呼吸，感觉很兴奋，甚至对我所做的事觉得有点骄傲。可知，是作者自己觉得满意而不是老师。故答案填B。

【5】细节理解题。根据第6大段“That's also the reason why Canadian high school students have to volunteer for at least 40 hours in order to graduate.”这也是为什么加拿大高中的学生要做至少40个小时的志愿者才能毕业的原因。可知，是正确的。故答案填A。

判断句子正误题也是属于细节理解题，根据题干意思找到文章中相应段落细读，然后判断正误。如第5题，题干的意思是在加拿大，40小时的志愿者工作是高中毕业的必备条件之一。根据关键数量词40个小时定位到文章中的第6大段，细读之后发现么加拿大高中的学生要做至少40个小时的志愿者才能毕业。可知题干意思和原文相符，因此是正确的。
