    "Mr. Mott often forgets important meetings. The robot will go after him all the time. It listens to everything

he says. It sees everything he does. At night, it watches him sleep. It knows everything about Mr. Mott…"

     It sounds like a wonderful idea, doesn't it? But I'm afraid that Mr. Mott will not get on well with the robot,

because everyone has something he doesn't want others know. It is privacy. Just imagine that there is a video

camera around you all day. How do you feel? When you are taking an exam, a teacher sits in front of you and

watches you all the time. How do you feel?

     Mr. Mott doesn't lose all his memory. At least he remembers that he always forgets. So why can't he do

something for this HIMSELF? He can keep a notebook with him, like most people do. In the notebook he can

write down the things he should do, the persons he should meet and the places he should go.

     Isn't the notebook much cheaper and safer than the robot?

1. "It" in the first paragraph (段落) refers to _____. [ ]

2. Why does the writer think Mr. Mott will not always get on well with the robot? [ ]

A. Because it is invented by others.

B. Because it can talk with Mr. Mott.

C. Because it can remind (提示;提醒) Mr. Mott of something he forgets.

Now let’s talk about doing well by doing good—many people who have ever been volunteers for the community find their place in relative jobs or even make their way to be corporate(团体的)leaders.

Consider the case of Kimberly Mulcahy. Throughout her career, Mulcahy has actively volunteered in her community, profession and industry. Though she put in long hours as Vice President at a Fortune 500 company, she also found time to professional and community organizations.

Then last year, the unexpected thing happened. The company where she’d worked for more than 20 years was bought out and she was laid off.

On hearing the news, those who she served were quick not only to offer her support—but actual jobs! In the end, Mulcahy was hired by a PR agency—she used to work as a director of her industry association. And she brought with her several accounts based on relationships she had formed through volunteering.

Volunteering was a godsend(天赐之物)to Todd, who has been a mid-level manager at the same company for many years. After he was out of work, he felt old and disappointed. But Todd knew he needed a change. Todd became involved in community service. He joined his town’s volunteer fire department and was soon appointed to the finance committee.

Sometimes volunteering helps you bring passion to your work, other times it can turn your life’s passion into your work. Cape Cod Baseball League President Judy Scarafile is a registered pharmacist(药剂师)whose love of the game led her to volunteered as league publicist(宣传员), secretary and deputy commissioner woman to hold the top post.

Whether you are to enter the workforce, build your resume, or follow your passion, volunteering is good for the soul and the career.
