With the world's largest rainforest in Brazil, of which huge part is in danger, there are lots of different jobs you can do.
Kenya
Kenya is the destination for those seeking an African experience. Generally volunteers in Kenya work in orphanages(孤儿院)or with local children living in slums(贫民窟). There is a great demand for volunteers in Africa because many people live in poverty, so if you truly feel like making a difference to a community, Kenya should be at the top of your list.

Do you want to work with people or animals or machines or tools? Do you want to work indoors or outdoors, directly serve people in need or serve people behind the scenes? These are the typical questions that a volunteer service agency would ask.
Every year, thousands and thousands of people in the west offer volunteer services. Volunteering greatly strengthens the community partly because it helps the old, the young, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the injured to overcome difficulties.
Volunteers usually help in many different ways. They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church, counsel kids against drugs. Work as an assistant in a school or nursing home, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things.
Volunteering can be a few hours a week or a few hours a month, time during the day, evenings or weekends, either part time or full time. Anybody __________ can become a volunteer.
The art of volunteering is a process of both giving and receiving. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people and make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is an excellent way to experiment, practice and try out new techniques and skills. It is much more effective to practice a skill than to read about it or study it in a classroom. Volunteering is a great way to develop good teamwork skills, discover your individual talents and explore career choices. Being a volunteer takes individuals on a wonderful journey and helps them learn many important things beyond their school.

Let’s say you took violin lessons all through elementary school, but you haven’t got the instrument out of its case for years. Were all those lessons a waste of your parents’ money because you didn’t become a violinist?
Even though it has been a long time since you played the violin, a new study shows that as little as one year of music training can have a positive impact (影响) on your brain that will last the rest of your life.
In an experiment, researchers compared children who had taken music lessons to those who hadn’t. Laurel Trainor, who studies music and the mind, discovered that the musically-trained children had better brain responses in certain sound recognition exams. Trainor’s findings show the possibility that musical education can actually improve the brain’s hearing cortex(大脑皮层). “The study’s results show that music training affects attention and memory, and helps children develop learning skills. In this way music training might lead to better learning across a number of fields,” Trainor said in a statement. The effects of music education are even more obvious on children with difficulty in reading and writing and other language-related disabilities.
So, whether you can play a good piece of music or not, it’s likely that your years of music lessons have prepared your brain for all the speeches, emails, and adult conversations that are part of your life today. We should help make sure that children today have the same opportunities for music, and help out by volunteering with or donating instruments to your school’s music education department.
1.Compared with children who haven’t taken music lessons, musically-trained children _______.
A．sing better B．do better in exams
C．recognize sounds better D．response more quickly
2.According to the study, we know musical education can _____.
A．change the structure of the brain
B．improve children’s learning skills
C．help children focus their attention
D．provide more memorizing methods
3.What can we learn from the text?
A．Adults should also take some music lessons.
B．The author has taken violin lessons when he was young.
C．Even a day’s music training can affect the human brain.
D．Music training can also help children with certain disabilities.

I come from a close, loving family. I have three elder brothers.
My parents owned a wood supply business. 71 When I was a kid, people used to laugh at my dad and say his volunteer work was his business and his business was his hobby .That rubbed off on me. For example, I was a Big Brother in high school, and I continued doing volunteer work in college.
In 1979, just before graduation, my brother Mark asked if I’d like to help him start a software company. 72 And I was happy that later it became very unusual in the software industry. Once I started working, I continued to volunteer.
73 So I volunteer to company the elderly persons who live alone. I met Malcolm, who’s physically healthy. 74 He is also interested in my work. He often says “You can get caught up being the CEO of a half-billion-dollar software company very quickly.”
I learn kindness, humility（谦恭）, a positive outlook on life from Malcolm. 75 But we have been together for five years and there is no end in sight.
A. So I joined his company.
B. They are successful in the business.
C. Most people volunteer for a year.
