We have all heard the saying ,"It's better to give" than to receive. "Think about it for a moment. What does it mean to you? Of course getting a gift is nice. Giving ,though ,can be just as good. Sometimes a gift of our time is even more appreciated. There are many ways you can give the gift of time. One is to volunteer.
As a volunteer, you can learn new things, make friends, and know that you are helping someone. Here are some simple ways that you can volunteer..
Animal shelters are always looking for volunteers to walk pets, and help clean and care for them.
Organize a clean-up program in your neighborhood.
Hospitals often have programs that kids can help with to cheer up patients.
Donate used toys and books to libraries, shelters or churches.
These are just a few examples – visit one of the many volunteer sites online for many more ideas. Why not ask your morn or dad to volunteer too, and make it a family activity?
Once you volunteer, you will quickly learn that giving has its own rewards（回報(bào)）. You won't get paid, but the feeling you get from helping others is much more special than getting money. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed（失望的）!

Every day, it is easy to see advertisements in English all around us. Look at your own bags and clothes of your classmates. How many different advertisements can you see which use English words? Often, bags and clothes show the name of company that made them. This is a popular form. A special picture or symbol (標(biāo)志) called a logo is sometimes used.

The koala is small and cute. It spends most of its lifecycle (生命周期) in the trees. It eats, sleeps and nurses (養(yǎng)育) its baby there, and it only comes down to the ground if necessary. The koala is loved by many people for its small size and cartoon-like feature.
A mother gives birth and raises only one baby koala at a time. During the mother’s lifecycle, she will produce up to six baby koalas. A newborn baby koala does not look like an adult because it is born blind with undeveloped features.
After the baby koala is born, it makes its way to the mother’s pouch (育兒袋) and lives inside. Then it develops its eyes, legs and fur. In fact it lives in the mother’s pouch for about six months.
At last the baby koala gets out of its mother’s pouch, and the mother carries her baby on her back. Some baby koalas want to use the safety of the pouch longer than necessary, but their size is too big for them to climb back inside. When the next baby koala is born, it is time for last season’s baby to say goodbye.
