Volunteering(志愿服务）means spending some of your free time helping others. You may volunteer to help other people，but you can also volunteer to do something good for animals, the environment，or any other thing that you care about. Volunteering helps others, but it can also help yourself. If you are worried about something that has happened, doing something can be a great way to deal with your feelings. Volunteering can let you see your own life in new ways. For example, if you don’t have the most expensive shoes or the newest computer game，you may find it difficult to stop yourself from worrying about things like grades or getting angry. Volunteering lets you spend some time on others.
Doing volunteer work is a great way to have fun with your family. Here are some ideas on how you can do the work together：
?Clean up a park or a road along a river.
?Do some housework for the old persons or the sick. ?Serve food at a shelter for the homeless. ?Plant trees or flowers in your community. ?Clean up a school or other public buildings.
Now some schools ask kids to spend some time helping others because volunteering gives them a sense of duty（责任）. Why can we say that volunteering gives kids a sense of duty? The reason is that volunteering can make kids feel needed by some people. Volunteering can also help kids learn important things about themselves. A volunteer job can even help some kids understand what to do when they grow up. So what are you waiting for? 根据短文内容，回答问题。 46. What does volunteering mean?
47. Is volunteering only good for others?
48. Who can you do some housework for as a volunteer? 49. Why do some schools ask kids to spend some time helping others? 50. What’s the purpose of the writer in writing this article? Ⅴ.词语运用。用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。（每空一词，每词限用一次）。（5分）
