The Thames Barrier is a system that prevents London from being flooded by North Sea storms. It lies in the eastern part of London. The Thames Barrier was built in the 1970s and has been in operation since 1982.It cost over 500 million and is operated by the Environment Agency.

In normal weather, tides cause the Thames River to rise and fall by about 5 metres twice a day. Heavy storms in the North Sea, however, combined with rising tides can push too much water up the Thames and flood central parts of the city. When this happens, the gates of the London Barrier are raised to keep water away from the city.

In the course of history, London has witnessed many cases of extreme flooding. The worst event took place in 1958, when 300 people died during a heavy storm that spread across the North Sea and flooded the city. After this

disaster, city planners decided that something had to be done to protect the city.

Today, 10 rotating（旋转）steel gates span the 520-metre wide Thames River. Under normal conditions, the five storey high gates are down and ships can pass through. When danger approaches, the 3000-ton gates can be raised within minutes to keep extra water out of the city area. Since the opening of the barrier in 1982, the gates have been closed over 170 times. Recently, however, the gates have been closed very often due to rising sea levels.

The Thames Barrier protects over a million people who live and work in Central London. It also protects historic buildings, infrastructure（基础设施）and the London Underground. Climate experts say that sea levels are rising slower than predicted so that the barrier will be operational through to 2070. 25. What can we know about the Thames Barrier? A. It lies in the north of London. C. It costs 500 million a year.

B. It was used to store water. D. It started to be used in 1982.

26. Why did city planners decide to do something to protect the city? A. Tides rise and fall about 5 metres twice a day. B. Rising tides can easily flood central parts of the city. C. The Environment Agency hoped to reduce losses. D. The flood in 1953 made 300 people lose their lives. 27. What caused the Thames Barrier to close very often? A. Frequent ships. C. Extreme weather. A. Attractive. C. Concerned.

B. Rising sea levels D. Too much rain. B. Vital. D. Controversial. C

After being unemployed for a few years, I was looking for something to do in my spare time that would also help to increase my skills and confidence.

Having previously suffered from depression（沮丧）and anxiety, I knew a full-time job would be more of a long-term goal. When I was introduced to Volunteering Matters, I was particularly interested in the handyperson service. I was a bit nervous though as it was brand new to me. After chatting with the project coordinator, I signed up and went through some initial training, which was really relaxing and enjoyable.

In February, I took up the role as a handyperson organizer, which means it is my responsibility to speak to older people who require our service. After that, I assign the job request to the most appropriate volunteers, based on their location and skills. It usually takes about one hour per evening to complete my task.

Having done this role now for six months, I have learned a great deal and am very proud to be a part of this project. I have seen first-hand how important it is to help older people, who would really struggle without our service. I really feel that I am doing my bit to help others and give something back. It has helped me to believe in myself and I have learned some new skills, which I didn’t believe I could ever do, especially my communication, organization and interpersonal skills.

It’s great to be able to build a relationship with our clients and volunteers and it is also a lot of fun. My confidence has increased and I absolutely love my volunteer organizer role. Most recently, I have also been helping the project coordinator with administration tasks and publicity（宣传）work for the service, which means I am
