Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyones life,” she says. Many teens say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teens volunteer than work for pay. Teens clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters, visit the elderly and more. Some cities Seattle, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. require high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate. The student volunteers learn new skills and help their communities. Many parents are in favor of the idea - they say volunteering helps teens build job skills. But most teens dont want to be forced to volunteer. They say they are busy. And they say volunteering is only fun if its a choice. Read both sides of the debate and decide. YES Volunteering can help teens get into college or get a job. olunteers can help keep important programs going. get ready for adult life. NO Most teens very busy with classes, homework, jobs and sports. Forcing them to do more isnt fair. It should be up to each person. Helping outdoesnt feel as good if you have to do it. job isnt always easy. Students shouldnt be kept from graduating because of something they cant control. 1 The writer mentions Michelle Obama in order to_. B. explain what volunteering is D. show she enjoys volunteering 2.

B La Gomera is the only place in the world which has a whistle （口哨）language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers. We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost. The whistle is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in different parts of a country. But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions. 5. If a person on La Gomera is ill,_. A. others will phone the doctor in town B. people will take him to town by carriage C. his family will take him to the hospital D. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor 6. La Gomera is special because _. A. many visitors go there every year
