Throughout high school, I failed to volunteer as much as I had wanted. As a college student, I am still busy with maintaining my grades and staying involved in my school’s munity, but I decided to get out of my fort zone and volunteer for America Recycles Day. And this turned out to be an awesome experience.

The organization Ouachita Green put together this event, which allowed people from the Monroe area of Louisiana to bring in their recyclables, free of charge. Unfortunately, Louisiana is lacking in environmentally-friendly initiatives(倡议) so recycling is not offered to most people in our munity. In contrast, it is required by law to recycle back in my home New Jersey. This truth astonished me, but more importantly, it encouraged me to seek change.

I meant to make a difference. Through joint efforts, my classmates and I ended up starting the Green Club at the University of Louisiana. It focuses on creating a green attitude within the university and the greater Monroe area. While working on it, I met a group of ambitious high

school students, who shared the same concern about the environment as us. While talking, we decided that working together would benefit not only the organizations at our schools, but also the munity as a whole. If we let the munity know we are serious, there is an even better chance that we will succeed and influence others.

If you are hesitant to volunteer or help out with an event in your munity, my remendation is to go ahead and do it. Even if it may be out of your fort zone, it is important to put yourself out there. At the end of the day, you miss all of the shots you don’t take.

4. What surprised the author greatly?

A. Louisiana’s lack of environmental laws. B. Louisiana’s limited access to recycling. C. New Jersey’s legal requirement of recycling. D. New Jersey’s great advantage over Louisiana. 5. What is the Green Club is intended to?

A. To offer part-time jobs for high school students. B. To appeal for an environmentally-friendly lifestyle. C. To make university life in the Monroe area colorful. D. To help with munity events in the Monroe area.

6. What did the high school students and the author agree on? A. The need to co-operate. B. The importance of recycling.

C. The possibility to succeed. D. The drawbacks of seriousness.

7. What does the author suggest the potential volunteers should do? A. To praise themselves. B. To force themselves.

C. To believe themselves. D. To challenge themselves.

A few years ago, I had an “aha!” moment regarding handwriting. I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally

became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year, maybe two, and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.

It was a very important event in the puterization of life--a sign that was the informal. Friendly munication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized one another’s handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.

As a child visiting my father’s office, I was pleased to recognize, in little notes on the desks of his staff, the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”.

All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by Florey. She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well, but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen.

I don’t buy it.

I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive, personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.

What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand---as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However, they have worked in many school systems.

8. Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s handwriting? A. He had worked with his colleague long enough. B. His colleague’s handwriting was so beautiful. C. His colleague’s handwriting was so terrible. D. He still had a lot of work to do.

9. What did people working together in an office use to do? A. To talk more about handwriting. B. To take more notes on workdays.

C. To know better one another’s handwriting. D. To municate better with one another.

10. According to the author, handwritten notes _________________ . A. are harder to teach in schools
