    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中，选出最佳选项。

                                   A

               My name is Petra. I volunteered for a program in South Africa in the summer last year. Coming to Knysna in South Africa was very exciting. The warm welcome,tasty food,free Wifi and laundry service were just some of the pleasant things in the volunteer house. The house was situated on a hill in a quiet area with an amazing view over the Knysna bay,which made our stay very nice.

               I booked Ihe Community Outreach & HIV Awareness program. But I was a little bit upset to find there was only one hour of HIV training on my schedule. I really looked forward to more training on HIV. But the program staff came up with some other projects instead which turned out to be funny and successful.

                We worked together in a constructive way,keeping at the back of our minds the success of the projects. Any good idea was welcomed,acknowledged and carried out. Though the work there was a bit tiring,we enjoyed ourselves.

                Not to forget about all the lovely,interesting and thankful people we met on our working tours. They really appreciated the work we did to help them live a better life. So as a volunteer you can gain so much appreciation and sincerity,which you will hardly find in our European society. There wealth is only defined by the value of the newest technical device(设备) the size of the car you drive and all the other things one owns.

                Please don't get me wrong; I don't want to romanticize their hard everyday lives. But the people V ve met there gave me the impression that they laiow what really matters: Caring about each other,being honest and confident,living in the present,and so on.

                 So if you are open-minded and want to experience something great,don't hesitate to join such a program.

    1. What disappointed the author in Knysna?

       A. Things in the volunteer house.

       D. The location of the volunteer house.

    2. The author's program in Knysna is most probably meant to.

       A. attract tourists to visit there

       B. help the locals live a better life

       C. help volunteers enjoy a great time

       D. bring work opportunities to the locals

       B. wanted to receive more training

       C. thought they lived a romantic life

       C. Inconvenient. D. Awesome.
