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

At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.

"I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks."

"I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don't think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."

American cities are similar to other cities around the world: In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.

After World War Ⅱ, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increased. Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts(转移) to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents(居民) became richer. They had more children so they needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区).

Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals(专业人士，专门人才) are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.

This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. A large number of poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.

Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: many dying cities are alive again.

Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

Journey to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots(景点) on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current(电流) or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now are in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated(灌溉) with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.

Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.

People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, people have to be vegetarians and they are healthier both in their bodies and in their minds, and they know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.

Does failure really exist?

If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don't have the ability to succeed, then you don't. The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

Most people give themselves out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too difficult or their energy dies down. Don't do that!  Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

Don't believe in a clear finish line for goals.

It's a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control.  If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, take it one day at a time and focus on making progress.

Be sure that you don't see difficulties as failures.

Difficulties mean only one thing: it's not time for your goal to be completed yet. That's it! It doesn't mean you failed; it doesn't mean you're weak; it doesn't mean you'll never achieve your goals. You've got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

A. Never give up on yourself.

B. Failure only exists in your own mind!

C. That's exactly how failure makes us feel.

D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.

E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.

F. Instead, make up your mind to reach your goal!

G. Work hard and you will be likely to get good results.

I was walking down the down the road one day when my cellphone rang. A(n) 1 voice on the other end spoke to me, "Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!" A wrong number would possibly 2 for this. A little while later, the call came once again, so I rudely 3 , "You've dialed the wrong number!" And then 4 .

During the following days, I got the same 5 now and then. But I didn't care much about it.

Then one day she frequently called me, 6 I didn't answer. In the end, I answered the phone and heard a weak voice, "Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I'm 7 so much pain! Mom said you were too busy to take 8 of me. But, Dad, please 9 me again, OK?" The simple 10 was difficult to refuse. I made a loud kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say, "Thank you... Dad, I am so... happy..."

Shortly after this, I became 11 about who had been on the other end of my phone. So I called back, and a woman answered, "Sorry, Sir. I am really sorry to have  12 you. My daughter has suffered from bone cancer 13 she was born. And her father died in a(n)14 last week. I dare not to tell her the 15 .Poor baby. When she couldn't bear the painful cancer treatment, she would cry for her dad, who had always given her 16 to carry on. I really couldn't 17 it, so I gave her your phone number..."

"How is your daughter now?" I couldn't 18 to ask.

  She has 19 . She passed away with a smile, tightly holding the cellphone..." she said, "and I'm glad that she gets rid of the pain and stays with her father forever."

Tears filled my eyes and I was so sad to hear that, 20 at the sky for a long time.

I was walking along the street while a stranger stopped me and asked me the way for a new restaurant. I told him the route and direction careful. As soon as I had finished, the stranger thanked me and started off. To my surprising, he went in a wrong direction. Then I stopped him at once and told him that he had made mistake. He smiled and told me the truth. He said she didn't really want to ask the way, and, instead, he was just trying to know whether everyone knows exactly where the new restaurant was. At last, he told me he was the owner of a restaurant. Then I knew who he was and that he wanted to do.
