Mrs. Gill lived next door to Nita．Every afternoon, Mrs. Gill took a walk．She said it kept her young．Nita liked to talk with Mrs. Gill when Mrs. Gill came back．Mrs. Gill was always happy after her walk．She often showed Nita something she had found，like a beautiful red leaf(叶子)．
One afternoon，Mrs.Gill looked upset．Nita asked her why．
“I am sad about all the trash(垃圾)on the street．”she said．“I never saw so much flash in this neighborhood! What happened?”
“Mrs. Trent moved．”said Nita．“She used to go out each morning and pick up flash．I often saw her on my way to school．”
Mrs. Gill looked very ▲ ． “I thought I knew everything about this neighborhood!”she said．“But you see more than I do!”
“Well, I wish I could do Mrs. Trent's job．But you know, my back(背)often hurts．It's really hard for me to pick things up，”she added．
“I could do that．”said Nita．
Mrs. Gill said．“l will carry the flash bag! You can use my gloves(手套)so your hands can stay clean．”
Nita put on the gloves．She picked up pieces of paper．She picked up boxes．And Mrs. Gill carried the bag．Lots of people stopped to thank Mrs．Gill and Nita．The street looked much better．
“Thanks，Nita，”said Mrs. Gill．“Let's call ourselves the clean-up team!”
I'm David．When I was 13,my parents decided that I should go to England to improve my English．I had never been to other countries before，so I felt a little worried．My parents prepared everything for my journey．My plane was due(预期)to leave at 9：30 a．m．and arrive in two hours．I phoned the English family who I would stay with and they told me they would wait for me at the airport(机场)．
Unluckily my plane to London was delayed (延误)．I tried to phone the English family again but I couldn't speak to them because they had already left home for the airport．
When I arrived in London．it was already 1：30p.m．I went to get my luggage(行李)but I couldn't find it．I became very worried．Luckily, the airport staff(工作人员)was very helpful and efficient ． I didn't wait long-they found it 10 minutes later．
My English family were still waiting for me! I was so happy! Then my new life in London began．My English family were quite kind．I learned a lot of English because I spent most of the day talking in English．I played computer games with the little boy in my English family．I also taught him how to play chess．Sometimes I told him stories I learned from my family．
I missed my family during my stay in London．but I also feIt sad when my stay there came to an end．My English family held a party for me．I enjoyed it very much．I'll never forget that summer in London! It is one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had．

Q：
A：I taught English twice a day at an orphanage (孤儿院)：one class in the morning and one in the afternoon．And most nights I stayed back to watch them perform traditional dances for visitors of the orphanage．And in my free time，during the day, I just played games with them．
Q：
A：The children that I met at the orphanage．The time I spent with them was the most unforgettable(令人难忘的)part of my volunteer experience．

Q：
A：Special and wonderful．When I first walked through the gate(大门)of the orphanage，I knew that my two—month volunteer experience would be one that I would always remember. The children there were very，very friendly．I enjoyed every minute of my visit from teaching to playing，and dancing!
