How Can Volunteering Help You Get a Good Job?
Sometimes, by giving just a little, you can get a lot back in return. This couldn't ring more true for volunteering. Here are just some of the things volunteering can do for your employ ability.
.
Employers like to see evidence of practical work experience on your CV (简历) — it tells them that you have the soft skills needed to work as part of a team and are able to handle responsibility. So, if the "work experience" section of your CV is: looking a little bare, volunteering is a great way to flesh it out. Even if the role isn't super relevant to the job you want after university, so long as there are transferable (可迁移的) skills, it will be valuable for your CV.
Introduce you to new people
If you are volunteering in the sector you want to eventually work in, it will be a great way for you to network with people who have already broken into the field. . They'd also make great references to refer future employers to.
Help you develop valuable skills
, but getting hands-on experience is key to really being able to transition into employment smoothly. Lectures and seminars can't really teach you personal skills like leadership, time management, how to best communicate with colleagues or how to act in a professional manner, which are all valuable to employers. .
Boost your confidence
You'll experience so many personal benefits from helping the community or lending a hand for a worthwhile project. . All of this-as well as the practical experience itself-will boost your confidence, meaning you can approach job applications and interviews with renewed courage and belief in yourself.
A.Improve your CV
B.Update your interview skills
C.Volunteering is a great way to push you ahead
D.University prepares you for work academically
E.Volunteering can help you develop all of these and plenty more
F.It can help give you a fresh sense of purpose and make you feel valued
G.Use the opportunity to pick their brains, get insider advice and find out job opportunities

The movie Home Coming《万里归途》took the lead in the box office (票房) during the National Day holiday in 2022.

Disagreements have arisen in Northern France after many ancient standing stones were damaged to make way for a new hardware chain(五金连锁店).
About 39 stones, dating back at least 7,000 years, were removed from the site, which sits on one of Europe's most famous prehistoric attractions, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. "The site has been damaged," local archaeologist Christian Obeltz told AFP.
Carnac, often described as "French Stonehenge", is famous for its spreading fields of large tall stones. The stones are arranged in long, straight lines and, according to the Carnac Tourist Office, it is the largest collection of this type of standing stone in the world. The two main sites alone, at Menec and Kermarjo, house nearly 3,000 standing monuments covering over 4 miles.
The purpose of this ancient curiosity is still unknown. Many believe it may have had something to do with religion, while others think it could have served as a farming calendar. One idea even suggests that the stones are connected to a sad event that happened to a Roman army.
The Regional Office of Cultural Affairs for Brittany, which is responsible for protecting the cultural monument, made a statement on disagreements over building the store on Wednesday. "Given the uncertain and non-major character of the remains, damage to a site of historical value has not been established," the statement said. However, Obeltz mentioned that there hasn't been enough research in the area to decide whether the stones were historically important.
News of building the store has caused a storm of angry comments on social media, with many expressing their thoughts on the loss of the ancient stones. "Poor Carnac! The commodification(商品化) of the world prepares the man without memories," said Philippe de Villiers, France's former Secretary of State for Culture.
"In Carnac,39 standing stone monuments survived Julius Caesar, World War I and World War II. But not Mr. DIY!" the Twitter account Dom Revolution wrote.
(1)、What happened to the 39 stones?A、They were sold to a store. B、They were worn with time. C、They were moved away. D、They were used to build a building.(2)、What makes Carnac stand out as a site of stone monuments?A、Its unique shape. B、Its large size. C、Its long rich history. D、Its connection with an army.(3)、What may the Regional Office agree with?A、The site has low historical value. B、The site needs government protection. C、The site is not very well-known. D、The site should have been studied more.(4)、Why does the author mention opinions on the Internet?A、To share people's last memories of Carnac. B、To stress the importance of protecting Carnac. C、To show public anger at Carnac's situation. D、To give more information about Carnac's history. -
4、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I am not sure how many years ago it was, but I still had a cassette player (盒式磁带放录机) at the time. I had a lot of housework. I was tired of television and was in the mood for music. I pulled out one of my favorite cassettes. It started to play but before long the music stopped. I opened the player and saw the tape in the cassette was all pulled out and twisted (扭曲的). I tried to fix it, but it was already broken beyond repair. I frowned. I didn't want to risk another of my cassettes with a tape-eating machine, but I really wanted some music.
Then I noticed my ancient record player in the corner. I walked over and dusted it off. I pulled out an old record of my mom's that my dad had given me after she died. I turned on the record player and gently put the record on the turntable (唱机上的转盘). "Pop!" "Crack!" went the record for a second as I put the needle(唱针) down. Then a beautiful melody from my childhood started to play. I smiled and started to do my housework. The sweet songs I grew up on touched my soul. I felt the music coming out of me. I started to sing, letting my weak voice join in joyously with the music. I even dared to dance a little while I did the dishes. I smiled and laughed. My heart was filled with happiness. And at that moment I could feel the joy of the universe all around me. "This is how life is supposed to be!"
These days all my music is on CDs. My daughter says I am behind the times. She says I should buy a cellphone and download all the music I want. But instead, I think I will dust off those old records again, put them on that record player and start to sing along.
We all have music within us just waiting to get out. Don't let your music die within you then. Share your song with the world. And don't forget to dance a little too.

D、Download music to his phone.(4)、What does the author want to convey?A、Life with music is beautiful. B、Music can inspire creativity. C、Music helps strengthen family bonds.

I worked at a coffee shop in a very remote(偏僻的) area. I wasn't pleased with having to work during New Year's Eve, but about halfway through my shift(轮班), I saw someone who made me feel grateful that I would at least be able to go home to share the dinner with my family.
It was a cold day. The weather was awful with an icy wind and near-freezing rain. As looked out of the store window, I saw a young man walking along the road, expecting to get free rides from the passing cars, There was very little traffic, and the few vehicles passing by were driven by people. who were rushing home and couldn't be bothered to pick up a stranger. I expected the young man to come in to warm up or drink a cup, of hot coffee, but he just kept on walking even though he was trembling (颤抖) in the cold.
I thought about how it felt like to be alone and try to hitch a side(免费搭车) in such bad weather on such a special day, and my heart went out to him. Wherever he was going, it was clear that he stood no chance of making it to his destination in time for the dinner.
I was alone, so I couldn't leave the store to help out. Then I called ray parents. I knew that they were busy preparing the big dinner for the whole family. I explained about the young man and asked them if they could help him out. Without any hesitation, they agreed.
After a short while, I saw my parents' car. It stopped beside the young man and there was a quick exchange of words. The man nodded his head thankfully, and then the car drove off. I saw the look of surprise, disbelief, gratitude, and pleasure that I would never forget appeared on the face of the young man.
