First Lady Michelle Obama is a big fan of volunteering. Volunteering means working for free to help someone else. Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyone’s life, ” she says. Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teens volunteer than work for pay. Teens clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters , visit the elderly and more. Some cities ---- including Seatle, Chicago, and Washingtong,D.C. ----require high school students to volunteer. Students must volunteer in order to graduate. The student volunteers learn new skills and help their communities (社区). Many parents are in favor of the idea ---- they say volunteering helps teens build job skills. But most teens don’t want to be forced to volunteer. They say they are busy. And they say volunteering is only fun if it’s a choice. Read both sides of the debate (辩论) and decide. YES ● Volunteering can help teens get into college or get a job. ● Many cities and towns need help. Volunteers can help keep important programs going. ● Not all teens will volunteer if it isn’t required. Schools should repuire students to do all they can to get ready for adult life. NO ● Most teens are already very busy with classes, homework, jobs and sports. Forcing them to do more isn’t fair. ● It should be up to each person. Helping out doesn’t feel as good if you have to do it. ● Finding a volunteer job isn’t always easy. Students shouldn’t be kept from graduating because of something they can’t control. 小题1:The writer mentions Michelle Obama in order to , A．introduce the topic of the text B．explain what volunteering is C．tell what she does for the US D．show she enjoys volunteering 小题2:According to the text, in Chicago, .
