9．There are a lot of things you can do to help others，whether it's with your mom's chores，or if a friend is upset．Here are some little things you can do to reach out to other people and they will bring benefits such as happiness．
Try to offer first．When people need your help，they'll most likely ask you first，but if you have the chance，try to offer to help before they ask you．This will show that you are willing to help from the start．For example，if you see a friend struggling to carry groceries，offer to help．Or if you see them getting bullied，help them stand up．Or if you see them getting pushed down or beaten，ask"Are you all right？"and help them up．Then try to cheer them up．Believe me，helping people will always make you feel better because it is the right thing to do．
Put yourself in someone else's shoes．Being compassionate（有同情心）can give you a strong reason to help someone else．It can also show people that you really do care about someone．
Volunteer or donate．Being in charitable organizations is a great way to help the less fortunate，like donating food or money to the poor．
Listen．You obviously can't know what you need to do if you're not even paying attention．Plus，people aren't going to rely on you very much if you act like you don't even care what they're saying．Think about what might happen if you don't．More people will feel more miserable if you just leave them when they need you，and you don't want to see people unhappy，do you？Don't stress yourself too much，but it's always nice to lend a hand．

分析 本文主要讲了你如何做一些事情来帮助他人．
解答 29．B 主旨大意题．根据第一段第一句There are a lot of things you can do to help others，你可以做很多事情来帮助别人，以及句子Here are some little things you can do to reach out to other people 以下是一些你可以做的小事情来帮助其他人，所以答案选B符合本文主旨．
30．B 句意理解题．根据下一句Being compassionate（有同情心）can give you a strong reason to help someone else有同情心会给你一个坚强的理由去帮助别人，可见前文是让你站在别人的立场去看问题，所以答案选B．
31．D 推理判断题，根据句子You obviously can't know what you need to do if you're not even paying attention．Plus，people aren't going to rely on you very much if you act like you don't even care what they're saying．如果你连注意力都没有，你显然不知道你需要做什么．另外，如果你表现得一点也不在乎他们在说什么，人们也不会太依赖你．可以推断出如果注意其他人那么也会得到其他人的信任，所以答案选D．
32．D 推理判断题．根据第一段最后一句话Here are some little things you can do to reach out to other people and they will bring benefits such as happiness．这里有一些小事情你可以做，以帮助到其他人，他们也会带来好处如幸福．本文主要讲了你如何做来帮助他人，并没有讲到文章开头提到的beniefits，所以可以推断出下文作者要写的是帮助他人的益处，所以答案选D．
