Angela, 17 I visited a forest park last week. I found there were not enough roads there. I am going to help build new hiking roads. I’ll spend seven days living in the forest. I can work with friends in the daytime and then sleep under the moonlight. It will be a nice sport, and I can do something good at the same time.
Andy, 18 I looked after my neighbours’ pets last summer. This summer, I will work in an animal centre and show my care and love to more pets. I am sure to make friends with more animals.
Haitao, 16 Some children have problems with reading. They need our help. I want to be a teacher when I grow up, and I love children and reading. So this experience(经历) will help me in many ways.

What will the car be like in the future? Maybe we can sit in a car that can drive itself.
About 40 years ago, scientists from the United States started to make self-driving cars (无人驾驶汽车). The most famous one was made by Google(谷歌) in 2009. There are cameras and radars (雷达) on the top of the car. They let the computer in the car draw a 3D map of the environment(环境). Chinese scientists have also successfully(成功地) made a self-driving car. The car made a trip from Changsha to Wuhan.
Is a self-driving car safe? A recent(最近的) study shows that robots(机器人) make safer drivers than people. If only 10% of cars on the street are self-driving, they will save 1,000 lives (生命) every year. If 90% of vehicles(交通工具) are self-driving, 21,700 lives will be saved(被救) a year. But a self-driving car is expensive and each costs about $100,000. So it is impossible to be very popular in the near future.
