       Every year, more and more students become volunteers. The projects may be with their school,
neighborhood, or town, but the work of all volunteers is important. Students find that there are many
advantages to volunteering.
        First, volunteering helps others. Many people complain about problems in our society. Volunteers
are part of the solution to the problems! While it is easy to complain about things that are not right, the
volunteer takes action rather than complaining. When a student spends time working at a retirement
(退休) home, cleaning up a park, or teaching a younger student, the volunteer makes the world a better
place.
        Second, being a volunteer makes students feel good about themselves. When a student volunteer
knows that his or her efforts have made someone else's life better, the volunteer feels great. Students
always hear people saying that everyone should care about other people. Volunteers make it happen.
Although some volunteer work is long or tiring, student volunteers end the day knowing they did the right
thing. Their parents, teachers, and the public are proud of them. Knowing they did the right thing makes
them feel better, even if they are tired.
        Finally, students learn that volunteering is fun. A group of students might volunteer to clean up a
riverbed in early spring. It is fun to be with their friends, to enjoy the weather, and to picnic later in a
beautiful, clean area. Other students might read to young children in a playgroup. It is fun to spend time
with children and to have them smile and laugh. No matter what their ages or talents are, every student
can be a volunteer. The work of student volunteers is a powerful force that makes the world a better
place.

If someone says to you, “give me five”, don't give five yuan to him! It will make others laugh! The person isn't asking for your money, but your fingers.

In the U.S.A, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is a good gesture(手势). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the slapping (拍打)of each other's right hands together. People do it when something happy happens. For example, if a student does well in exams or gets No. 1 in his school sports meet, he will give high fives to his friends to celebrate.

Who did this gesture first? Why did he do that? It may come from the old Roman (古罗马的) gesture of raising(举起)the right arm for the emperor(皇帝). This showed that the person raising his arm had nothing in his hand and he couldn't hurt the emperor.
