Unit 3 A healthy life李仕才一、阅读理解。Volunteering Is FunOne afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored.Instead of feeling sorry for myself， I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering.I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.My time working on a farm was a new experience for me.It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided.However，it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle！I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.However，you do not need to go abroad to volunteer.I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby.For example，I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir.I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert.At university，I organised a concert for charity with my friends.It was really fun founding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages.I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services.I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe（衣柜）.While this is all fun，my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories.My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell！Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world.I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者认为做志愿者很有趣，并生动地描绘了他的几次志愿者经历，最后指出在做志愿者的同时，自己还收获了其他的很多东西，感激之情油然而生。1.Why did the author want to volunteer？A.He wanted to go abroad.B.He felt ashamed of himself.C.He wanted to taste new life and make friends.D.He wanted to be a farmer.C解析：细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知，作者想做志愿者是因为他想交朋友并得到新体验。故选C。2.The underlined word “hilarious” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to“_”.A.sadBfunnyC.awful DcriticalB解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在段落可知，作者当志愿者最喜欢的部分就是讲故事，他在农场的经历给予了他讲有趣故事的源泉。同时和不同国家和背景的志愿者交谈也帮助作者更多地了解了世界。由此可推知，hilarious应与funny意思相近。故选B。3.The author did many volunteering work except_.A.taking care of horses and sheepB.conducting a choir in a concertC.helping in a charity sports eventD.helping in a charity shopA解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知，作者是照看十五匹马，并没有羊。故选A。3.How does the author feel according to the last paragraph？A.Curious.
