The meaning of the word"volunteer"may be a little different in different countries，but it （55）C means"one who offers his or her services．"There are many different ways in which people can volunteer，（56）E taking care of sick people，working in homes for homeless children，and picking up garbage from beaches and parks．Voluntee rs may work within their own countries or in other c ountries．They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves．Volunteers don't （57）B any kind of pay．

8．Malnutrition（营养不良） remains a serious problem for India．But a new study shows that India's leading causes of death now also include obesity-related（和肥胖有关的） diseases such as heart disease．
India's recent National Family Health Survey shows that more than twenty percent of Indians living in cities are overweight．
Aradhna Tripathi is a business professional in New Delhi．He says，"Eating is the most important thing in any Indian family and how you show your love and thanks for a person is through the kind of food you serve him．And the kind of sedentary（久坐不动的） lifestyle that we lead is one of the reasons why the number of overweight people in India is on the increase．"
Genetics（遗传） may play a part．Researchers say Indians store more body fat per kilogram than Europeans．That means Indians are even more at risk for diabetes（糖尿病） than other people．
Doctor Anoop Misra is a director of diabetes at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi．"Five years ago"，he says，"Diabetes were limited to India's rich people．But now the poorest are also getting heavier．"
"Many people used to be thin．They were annoyed by malnutrition．At present，many people are fat and some of these belong to the poorest section in India．"
But Doctor Misra is hopeful that the spread of obesity can be slowed．And he says it must start in the schools by giving all Indian children the same instructions on physical activity and diet．

7．How do you imagine the future？Will life in the future be better，worse or the same as now？What do you think of the future？
People think that life will probably be very different in 2050．First of all，planes will be very small，so flying will be very cheap．Everyone will have a small car．Fuel（燃料）will be new and clean but expensive．We will see robots everywhere．And space planes will take us around the world in two hours．Houses will be warm in winter and cool in summer，so they will be very comfortable．We'll use the sunshine to heat our houses．Computers will be very small，so they'll be very light．People will do many things on the Internet．
At that time，water will become one of our most serious problems．In many places，farmers will be in great need of water to grow fruit and vegetables．
By 2050，we will be able to help blind people see again or deaf people hear again．At that time，our life will become better and better．

6．On April 22，people all over the world always do something meaningful for the Earth that we all share．It's Earth Day，a special day to learn about our planet and how to take care of it．
On Earth Day，some people listen to speeches about the environment．Others help clean up their offices or save water and electricity at home．Your parents may even decide to take a day off from driving their cars．
The idea for Earth Day came from a US senator（参议员），who was worried about pollution and the health of plants and animals．And the idea quickly became popular．In 1970，More than 20million people in cities all over the US took part．Since then，Earth Day has been used to educate people about their role in taking care of our planet．

（49）if there is anything wrong with you．If nothing goes wrong，you will feel
（50）angrytoward the person who is looking at you that way．
Looking too long at someone seems to be impolite．But sometimes things are （51）different．When two people are in a （52）conversation，the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay （53）attention to what he or she is saying．Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time，to show something that

Smartphone，poor sight
Look around and you'll see people busy on their smartphones．Smartphones do make our lives easier．But have you ever thought about what they mean to you eyes？
According to a study，half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average（平均） of two hours a day using them．There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness（近视）since smartphones were introduced there in 1997．
Staring（盯） at smartphones for a long time gives you dry eyes．When looking at something in the distance，your eyes automatically blink（自动眨眼） a certain number of times．However，when you look at things closer to your face，the blink slows down．This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes．Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep．If you look at a bright screen while your pupils（瞳孔） become larger，too much light enters your eyes．This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma（青光眼）．
While you're probably not going to stop using to your smartphones，there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes．Hold your phone at least 30centimetres away from your eyes when using it．Take a break every hour and try the following：look at something at least five meters from you and then look at the tip of your nose．Repeat this several times．It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes．

36．The article is mainly aboutB．
A．the rules to obey when using smartphones
