Question

Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others．For example，some high school and college students in the U.S.A. often spend many hours as volunteers in the hospitals，orphanages（孤儿院）or rest homes．They read books to the people in these places，or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems．

Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old．They paint，clean up or repair their houses，do their shopping or mow（割；修剪）their lawns．For boys who no longer have fathers，there is an organization called Big Brothers．College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or fishing trip and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers．

Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games．Some of these clubs show films or organize short trips to the mountains or some places of interest．Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to know the problems and needs of young boys and girls．

Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others．

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是关于志愿者的工作。在美国很多中学生和大学生都愿意做志愿者的工作，去帮助别人，尤其是一些年老的或生病的人。他们给别人带来了快乐，同时他们自己也收获了快乐。

1.根据文章的第一段中some high school and college students in the U.S.A. often spend many hours as volunteers in the hospitals，orphanages or rest homes．可知，在美国，一些中学生和大学生经常花费很多时间去医院、养老院或疗养院做志愿者。故这个句子说他们几乎不花费时间做志愿者是错误的。

2.根据文章的第二段第一句话Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old可知，其他的年轻的志愿者们可以去生病或年老的人们家里工作。故这个句子中说他们可以去老人或病人的家里玩是错误的。

3.根据文章第二段For boys who no longer have fathers，there is an organization called Big Brothers．可知，对于那些没有了父亲的男孩们来说，有一个组织叫Big Brothers 。所以这个组织可以帮助那些没有了父亲的男孩们。故这个句子是正确的。

4.根据文章第三段最后一句话Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to know the problems and needs of young boys and girls可知，大多数的俱乐部用很多的高中生和大学生当志愿者，因为他们足够年轻知道年轻人的问题和需求。这个句子的表述正好与文意相反，故是错误的。

5.根据文章的最后一句话Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others．可知，志愿者们都认为世界上最快乐的人就是把快乐带给别人的人。故把快乐带给别人，你也会快乐。所以这个句子是正确的。
