    When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.

    His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the 2.

    "Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person." Mason, a volunteer said.

    National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

    The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.

    Start out slowly, don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.

    Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.

    Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.

    Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.

    Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

    Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity.

    Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, "…little things can change a person's life."

Seeing a funny film or telling jokes with friends will often you when you are low.

When you are a hobby, you leave all your worries behind.

    A young girl named Malala, born in 1997 in the northwest of Pakistan, is famous for supportingand women to get education.

    In 2012, she was shot and seriously injured when she returned home the school bus. Luckily, she was sent to the in time and saveD.  After that, she went back to school and began to strive(奋斗) for children and women to receive education.

    On October 10, 2014, the Nobel Prize for peace was awarded (授予) to MalalA.  She became the youngest winner in the history of Nobel Prize. However, Malala missed the most important event of being announced to be the winner of the prize. At the very moment, she was taking chemistry lessons in the classroom! After the news, Malala chose to take her history and physics lessons as usual. She said calmly to the reporter, "I'm  of getting this prize. Although the unforgettable date itself means something to me, it's more important to finish the rest lessons today. After all, it's a normal school day."

    One year later, Amy Mainzer,  astronomical scientist of NASA, found a new planet. She it "Malala". When Amy Mainzer was interviewed by Times, she explained, "I think Malala has set an example for us. She is fearless and  to helping children and women get the right of being educateD.  Nothing can stop her."

    Last year, Malala passed the entrance examination of Oxford University through her hard work.

Clothes Donation(捐赠) Box

    Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend(趋势) in Urumqi.

    "From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it's a good way to help others." Lin Tao, a junior student says.

    "I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I'll put them into the donation box." Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

    "That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases." Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, "Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes."

    However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:

    The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.

    Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.

    Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.

    Many clothes are too old and shabby(破烂的).

    "What's worse," one of the staff in a community added, "We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We've tried to stop them several times but failed.  It has been the most serious problem since we set the box."

    In order to make the donation box work in an efficient(有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it'll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.
