C. Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false.（判断下列句子是否符合你听到的短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示）
A Fun Job with No Pay might seem crazy. But many students in the United States do jobs without being paid! Yes, they volunteer. And they like it, too! Many girls volunteer to work in hospitals. Other kids volunteer to work at zoos or dog pounds where lost pets are kept. Even though they don't get paid, they get to spend their day with animals. There’s also a Big Brother Foundation in the US where older kids guide young kids and help them with their homework.
Maybe you don't have the same chances in China to volunteer as kids in the US have. So be creative! Volunteer to help people in any way you can think of. You can volunteer to help at a hospital, you can help elderly people or you can volunteer to clean up trash on the ground.
Why volunteer Volunteer work gives you experience. It might help you get a job in the future. Doing volunteer work shows that you care for other people and are generous with your time. Employers like people who do these things. Besides helping you in the future, volunteering also makes you feel happier. Try it! It could be the best improvement to your summer.

Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t 75 like other kids in his grade. I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills.
On the days when it was Ronny’s turn, I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out. Every time he 76 to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with 77 .
A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. I presented Ronny with a book –one of those Little Golden Books that only cost$5. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went back to his seat. I stayed with the class for the rest of the day.
Ronny never let go of the book, not once. It never left his hands. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I 78 Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap（大腿）. His teacher said,“He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his first book he’s ever actually owned ”Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked,“Will you read me your book, Ronny ”And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more 79 than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read thousands of times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”What a powerful contribution（贡献）the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get 80 about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.

Allen’s first marathon (马拉松)
One of the Allen’s ankles was injured one month before his first time to compete in a marathon. This meant he could not run or train for two weeks. Yet, Allen made up his mind to go ahead.
Allen remembers back to his first year in the school. He was only seven at that time. In his first P.E. class, his teacher required them to run laps （跑圈）and then hit a ball. He didn’t do either well. He was later told that he was “not athletic”—he had no talent in sports.
The idea that he was not athletic went with him for years. When he started running in his thirties, he realized running marathon was not about competition or whether he was physically strong and active. He thought that _________________________________________.
The night before his first marathon, he dreamed that he couldn’t even find the finish line. He woke up sweating (冒汗) and nervous, but ready to prove something to himself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, his shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So Allen stopped to tie them. Not the start he wanted!
At mile 3, Allen passed a sign：“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, he became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. When he felt the pain, he tried to slow down and walked a bit and then ran again.
As Allen approached mile 25—near the finish line, he saw his wife waving a sign to encourage him. She is Allen’s biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 5 a.m. or questioned his money on training.
Allen was one of the final runners to finish. But he finished! And he also got a medal. In fact, he got the same medal as the one that the man who got in first place.
Allen made up his mind to be himself and moved forward. He can now call himself a real winner.
