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(團(tuán)體的)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(天賜之物)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(藥劑師)whose love of the game led her to volunteered as league publicist(宣傳員), 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.

By saying “doing well by doing good” in Paragraph 1, the author wants to_____.

  A．encourage us just to do it, and it will be better

  B．encourage us to try as hard as possible

  C．tell us not to give up

  D．tell us that people who have volunteered their way into

  B．Mulcahy becomes a famous football player.

  C．Mulcahy brought with her several accounts based on relationships she had formed through volunteering.

  D．Mulcahy was hired by a PR agency.

Which of the following words can best describe Todd?

  A．Learned         B．Lucky        C．Rude          D．Realistic

Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

  A．Volunteer Work Can Boost Your Career.

What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.

Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual（虛擬的）company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction（拍賣）a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.

“We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work，” said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company.

Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues（同事）used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.

With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations （PR）, sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management.

“They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job” said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.

The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.

As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently（高效地） as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies.

“It makes the company more formal，” she said.

The purpose of opening the company is to          .

       A．earn money for their education fees.

       B．spread love and culture with seeds.

       C．see whether they can open a company.

       D．collect money to open a Hope School.

According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations?

     A．Communication skills and teamwork 。

     B．Creative and critical thinking.

       C．Educational back ground.

     D．Business theories.

What does the word "it" (in the last paragraph)  refer to?

     A．Selling seeds.

      B．CEO.

     C．Every colleague's knowledge.

     D．To make her colleagues work efficiently.

We can learn from the passage that____.

    A．the company is owned by 20 students.

    B．the company is over-night successful.

    C．the company sells fresh flowers and old books

D．the company gets much help from other company selling seeds.
