The meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services（服务）.” there are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks.

“I worked for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much.

I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with the others. However, learning came fairly easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (恶梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others.
Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe! One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn’t do a good job when she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree. It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann, played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe, I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards, I smiled confidently (自信地).
Miss Forsythe’s understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.
小题1:What do we know about Miss Forsythe?| A．She was good at dancing. | | B．She was young and energetic. | | C．She liked to play games with the students after class. | | D．She taught students how to dance. |
小题2:How did the author feel about the game at first?| A．She was excited. | B．She thought it would be fun. | | C．She was glad. | D．She was nervous. |
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that __________.| A．Miss Forsythe had planned the game that way on purpose (故意地) | | B．Miss Forsythe helped the author pick up the tallest girl | | C．the author was afraid when she felt ten feet tall | | D．the author didn"t like his teacher. |
小题4:What is the best title for the passage?| A．Our PE Teacher—Miss Forsythe | B．My School Life | | C．A Forgettable Experience | D．A Game with My Classmate |
