閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和 D)中，選出最佳逢項。

                                      A

                                ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

            After a young woman texted DoSomething.org with a heartbreaking cry for help,the non-profit volunteer group's CEO, Nancy Lublin,knew she needed to do something. She decided to create a way for people struggling with crises (危機) in their lives to release their strong feelings. She quickly founded a separate organization called Crisis Text Line,a free 24-hour nationwide mental health service that gives people access to crisis coimse/ors (輔導顧問) right at their fingertips.

             “Since it was started in 2013,the service has exchanged nearly 10 million texts from people experiencing mental health issues,bullying and more ,” Lublin said. “About 30 percent of messages the program receives refer to suicide and depression.”

              The beautiful thing about Crisis Text Line is that these are strangers counseling other strangers on the most private issues,and getting them from ‘hot moments,to 'cold moments'，” Lublin explained in a TED Talk about the service.

              While all crisis lines are important and save lives,Crisis Text Line stands out because it can also provide important information to help prevent these events from happening in the first place. Since it was started,the program has been studying messages,the timing of messages and their locations to get usefiil data. For example,analyses show that texts about issues with eating disorders seem to increase on Mondays. Analyses also show that Montana is the state with the greatest number of texts that mention suicide.

             Lublin hopes that the information that Crisis Text Line can glean will help inform new policies in schools,governments and homes across the country. “Data evidence makes policy,research, journalism,policing,school boards(教育委員會)，and almost everything better,” she said. “I don't think of myself as a mental health activist. I think of myself as a national health activist.”

   A. start a profit volunteer organization

   B. become a professional crisis counselor

   C. learn about mental crises in people's lives

                               A

           My name is Petra. I volunteered for a program in South Africa in the summer last year. Coming to Knysna in South Africa was very exciting. The warm welcome,tasty food,free Wifi and laundry service were just some of the pleasant things in the volunteer house. The house was situated on a hill in a quiet area with an amazing view over the Knysna bay,which made our stay very nice.

           I booked Ihe Community Outreach & HIV Awareness program. But I was a little bit upset to find there was only one hour of HIV training on my schedule. I really looked forward to more training on HIV. But the program staff came up with some other projects instead which turned out to be funny and successful.

            We worked together in a constructive way,keeping at the back of our minds the success of the projects. Any good idea was welcomed,acknowledged and carried out. Though the work there was a bit tiring,we enjoyed ourselves.

            Not to forget about all the lovely,interesting and thankful people we met on our working tours. They really appreciated the work we did to help them live a better life.
