Zoey admits it was a little sad saying goodbye to her fish. 1.Zoey’s class at Hawthorne Elementary School spent most of the school year raising the fish from time they were nothing more than little eggs with eyes.
The program the Hawthorne kids took part in is called” Trout in the classroom”.2. The kids at Wilson Middle School in Fishersville took part in the project, too.
“I got to feed them every morning and watch them grow up,” said seventh-grader Lauren Clayton. We have to protect them, or some of the fish could go extinct.” Lauren was right. 3.But later, pollution, overfishing and loss of natural habitat have pushed some species to the danger of extinction.
Thanks to the kids in the program, trout are being reintroduced into rivers and streams across the country. And by doing that, the kids are helping to restore there local ecosystems-----the natural balance that existed before human disturbed it,
4.Because the fish are in their classrooms, the kids are responsible for making sure there is cool, clean water, proper food and proper living conditions in the tanks.
By the middle of May, they were “as big as a finger.” That is, they are old enough to be released into Oneida Creek.” Remember to swim back here to meet us and eat the food we bring little trout”.5.
A The kids can learn some scientific lessons at school.
B Make sure when a warm lands on the surface, never bite.
C Finally, Zoey read them goodbye letters before letting them go.
D They can also see how our actions affect the trout’s ability to survive.
E But she honestly thinks it’s good that they are going to a natural home.
F It’s a national project supported by a conservation group called Trout Unlimited.
G When America was first founded, river and streams across the continent were filled with fish.
Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g. “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g. “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation(正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity....Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.

Some of Australian cyclists have used "GPS art" to turn a 202 km (125- mile) ride into the outline（轮廓）of a goat, which interests many people greatly.
The four men marked their route on an app before using it track their journey around Perth. When uploaded to the computer, it was shown as a picture. Cyclist Ben Jones said the group settled on a goat because it was an easy animal to draw. He said the ride lasted more than six hours, with the four men stopping only for food, and flat tyres . "Except for riding 202km,' it's relatively simple," Mr. Jones told the BBC. "You mainly mark your route on the app and it plans directions out."
GPS art has also been widely used by runners and other cyclists when they travel out. Mr. Jones said his group wanted to shake up their normal weekend ride. "We all ride l0,000km to 15,000km a year," he said. "Mostly we just ride together as mates and have a good time － that's what this was about."
The group received much attention after posting their map to social media this week. Others described Mr. Jones as a goat guy in an interview on Australian television. For their next piece of GPS art, the group plans to draw a local animal such as the koala. "Certainly, there'll be something coming, for we are making our decisions to put more and more plans into practice. I'm sure of that," Mr. Jones said.
1.What holds many people's attention greatly?
A. The cyclists' shaping the route into the outline of a goat.
B. The cyclists' having the GPS to travel with.
C. The cyclists' having traveled 125 miles.
D. The cyclists' riding more than 6 hours.
2.What did the four men do during their six-hour ride?
A. They had their bikes repaired. B. They got something to eat.
C. They stopped to have a rest. D. They planned new directions.
3.How would Mr. Jones feel about their ride?
A. It was tiring. B. It was moving. C. It was enjoyable. D. It was amazing.
4.What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Mr. Jones becoming a goat guy. B. People paying attention to the map.
C. The group drawing the animal koala. D. The group performing their ride plans.
