Two years ago, when I was making summer plans, at first I chose Plan A—working at an animal hospital or a place that trains animals to work with the disabled. But unluckily, people needed to be at least sixteen to do such work, and I wasn't old enough. So I chose Plan B—volunteering at an animal shelter (收容所) in my city.
Working at an animal shelter wasn't what I expected. I couldn't wear my favorite T-shirt when training the dogs because the dogs liked giving me big kisses (吻). I couldn't wear new shoes either when feeding the cats. When the cats disliked some food, they would spit (吐) it out and make my shoes dirty. However, it was still an interesting experience. Although there were many hard jobs, I had great fun playing with the animals. I loved walking around and deciding which dog I should take to the training room.
I spent all summer volunteering, and Plan B is probably the best decision I have ever made. Many people don't realize that they don't need to work at the shelter to give assistance. Shelters are often short of necessary things, so collecting money and helping out at the front desk can also be of great help!
(1)、What kind of writing is the passage?A、A joke. B、A letter. C、A poem. D、A story.(2)、What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A、The experience the writer got there. B、The advice the writer got. C、The reasons why the writer worked there. D、The animals the writer looked after.(3)、How did the writer feel about working at the shelter later?A、Easy. B、Comfortable. C、Fun. D、Meaningless.(4)、What does the underlined word "assistance" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A、Advice. B、Change. C、Help. D、Information.(5)、What's the best title for the passage?A、My Love for Animals B、An Animal Shelter in My City C、My Summer Plans D、A Volunteer Experience -

Hobbies do more than filling time, they shape our lives. Let's explore how hobbies make life brighter.

Hobbies help our brains take a break from worries. For example, drawing or coloring can help us calm down. The sound of a paintbrush moving on paper calms our thoughts. Even 15 minutes of hobby time each day can be helpful.

Shared hobbies bring people together. Imagine joining a school photography club: you meet someone who also loves taking photos. You exchange tips, laugh over funny pictures, and celebrate good ones. Friends made through hobbies often share stronger connections.

Hobbies secretly train us for future difficulties. For example, gardening teaches patience as we wait or seeds to grow. Creative writing improves imagination and language skills. These later help in jobs, relationships, and personal growth.

Hobbies are not just fun, they are classrooms where we learn without textbooks! For example, growing plants helps you learn biology and cooking shows science. So next time you practice a hobby, remember: you're not just having fun—you're collecting wisdom(智慧) one step at a time!
A. Relaxing the Mind
B. Developing Life Skills
C. Making More Money
D. Getting Some Knowledge
E. Building Friendship Bridges

It's easy to see the fun in buying a huge ice cream or going shopping with friends, but saving money can be even more exciting. That's because saving creates opportunities and opens the door to all kinds of adventures.
The key to successful saving is setting a goal. Get a pen and paper, and write down how much it costs. Then work out how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take you to reach your goal. Some weeks later you might decide to save a little more than planned so that you can reach your goals even faster.
To avoid accidentally spending your savings, it's a good idea to keep them separate from the rest of your money. For example, you could do this by using a money box or a savings account.
When you save your money in a savings account, you have the opportunity to earn interest (利息). This is money that a bank pays you for leaving the money there and the longer you leave money in a savings account, the more interest you will earn. Some parents set up a savings account because they want to put some money away for their kids' future.
If you're new to saving, start off by thinking of some fun goals, like taking a holiday or going to a concert. Every penny you save brings you one step closer to reaching your goal and what could be more exciting than that?
(1)、What is the key to successful saving?(2)、How could you avoid accidentally spending your savings?(3)、What can you get when you save money in a savings account?(4)、Why do some parents set up a savings account for kids?(5)、How do you plan to deal with your money after reading the text? (至少2点) -

Money is something we use every day, but have you ever thought about its history? Long ago, there was no money. People used a system called "barter". This meant the direct (change) of goods. For example, a farmer might give wheat to a hunter for meat.
However, this system had problems. It was difficult to agree on the cost of things. Also, carrying heavy bags of wheat was not (convenience). So, (social) started using shells, salt, and metals as money. Eventually, coins and paper notes appeared. These were easier to carry and count.
