 A girl is smiling at me from a picture on my desk. She is one of my sponsor(资助) children. I didn’t spend much money helping her. The joy from helping her gives me, however, is over the picture.

 I can still remember the first time that I decided to help a child. It was many years ago, I was only a middle school student. I had a little extra(额外) money each month. I didn’t feel like buying anything, though. A few years ago, we lost everything in a housefire. That fire bought me a lot. I learned that I didn’t need a lot of things to be happy. From then on, I began to care about the suffering of children in poor countries. With my mom’s help, I soon found a few groups and joined them. They were helping others around the world.

 It felt so good being able to reach out and help others in need. It felt so good being able to make even one life better. I could feel the love growing in my head and beginning to change me.

IX.任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分)

 Reading an English newspaper is a good way to improve a student’s language ability. As there are many useful and common words in an English newspaper, it may help students increase their vocabulary as well as improve their reading skills. They can learn new knowledge from the newspaper. But do students need to look over all the content of the newspaper? Here is the proper way to read an English newspaper.

 The first step is to choose a right newspaper with good language. Then turn to the front page and read the headlines to know what has happened. As the most important things are put on the front page, it’s easy to find out what you’ re interested in and then turn to the page to read it completely. There is no need to go through all the articles.

 Secondly, read newspapers every day. Remember words through context, in which these words may appear repeatedly. Once they appear several times, you will remember them easily. Don’t look up every unknown word in your dictionary. You can try to guess the meaning between sentences. If your guess is wrong, don’t give up. Keep reading, and you will become familiar with the words after reading them several times in different texts.

 Reading English newspapers makes us knowledgeable. It can not only help us know what is happening in the world but also improve our language ability.
