（注意：每题答案不超过10个单词）

[1]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.

[2]Every year, 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 overcome difficulties.

[3]Volunteers usually help in many different ways. They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church, warn kids against drugs, work as an assistant in a school or a nursing home, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things.

[4]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 who likes to serve people in need can become a volunteer.

[5]The art of volunteering can be 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 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 learning.

【解析】

试题分析：任何人只要想帮助需要帮助的人都可以成为志愿者。在任何方面都可以，时间也不受限制。志愿者在帮助他人的同时，自己也学会了很多的知识技能。

1.本文一开始就提出两个问题引出本文的话题，志愿者服务机构常问的问题。所以回答By raising / putting forward questions.

2.在教室里或者书本上读一种技巧远不如在做志愿者的工作中实践一种技能更高效。前面的名词是skill ，所以这里的it应该是指A skill。

3.文章第五段提到做志愿者在帮助他人的同时，自己也学会了很多的知识技能，如团队合作，发现自己的特长等。所以做志愿者是不仅给予而且收获。所以回答Because a volunteer can not only offer help but also learn knowledge and skills.

4.根据Anybody who likes to serve people in need can become a volunteer.可知答案是Anybody who likes to serve people in need can become a volunteer. 意为：任何人只要想帮助需要帮助的人都可以成为志愿者。

5.根据全文内容，尤其是第二段可知，本文的主题的西方的志愿者服务的情况。所以最佳题目是Volunteer Service in the West。
