"Volunteering makes you look at the world differently． You see how little things can change a person's life for the better， which makes everyone a better person．" Mason， a volunteer said．

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April． It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements． It is also a perfect opportunity （机会） to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer． Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem， because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations （期望）． Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group． Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities．

The following tips can help if you have some of these worries．

★ Start out slowly， don't add too much pressure． Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life．

★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values．

★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers， even if it is not asked．

★ Work with a veteranvolunteer． He volunteered a lot， he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations．

★ Invite a friend or family member to serve． It is a good experience to volunteer with them．

★ Finally， it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect． If one experience doesn't work， don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity．

Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives． As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience， "…little things can change a person's life．"

Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰）from his son．He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly．

After several months，the king came to see how the training was going．He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky，while the other was staying on the branch（树枝）of a tree quietly，just keeping still．

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly．But none of them succeeded．One day，while the king was taking a walk in the forest，an idea came to his mind．He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once．

The next morning，the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely．"It is unbelievable!"shouted the king．"How could you make it happen？"

The farmer replied，"It's very easy．I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested．"

It's always the same to human beings．We all have"two flying wings"in our hearts as well，but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort．We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the"branch"we are resting on breaks．

Have you ever had dreams about building a robot？Or putting together a spaceship？Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate？Done．All you need is a 3﹣D printer．

The possibilities of 3﹣D printing seem endless （无穷尽的）．All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in．The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass，sugar and even skin!When the user presses （按）﹣print，the 3﹣D printer spreads the materials layer （层） by layer and like magic the object is produced．

The first 3﹣D printer was invented in 1986by American，Charles Hull．But 3﹣D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use．Designers now use 3﹣D printing to create unusual things．The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges．

And doctors have used 3﹣D printing to print human body parts!The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man﹣made ear．But like a lot of new technologies，if 3﹣D printing gets into the wrong hands，it can be dangerous．

In 2011a group of four men in the US used 3﹣D printing to Produce ATM skimmers （提款机盗刷器）．These were placed on an ATM and stole over ＄400，000from users of the ATM．It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3﹣D printer to print a gun．But for better or for worse，3﹣D printing has been put into use．In a few years，you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3﹣D printer!

When people talk to each other，write letters or make phone calls，words of the spoken form or the written form can send any message they want to pass on．

But besides words，do you know any other ways you can use to communicate with people？Rich expressions on your face can be one of them．A smile on your face shows that you are happy．Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited．Body languates can do the same job．When you put your hand up in class，the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask．You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying"no"or refuse others'requirements．When you nod，people will understand that you are saying"yes"or agree to others'opinions or suggestions．

Other forms can also carry different message．For example，a sign at the bus stop gives passengers instructions on which bus to take．The flag language made by soldiers can pass different orders．Sound from the school bell tells the students and the teachers when to begin or end a class．A photographer can use the photos he has taken to tell others about what he thinks of the world around him．Music and films also conveythe feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directors．So next time when you see a piece of art or listen to some music，take it as communication with its creator and try to get the meaning behind it．

In the summer between my first year and second year in college，I was invited to be an instructor （辅导员）at a high school camp．On the first day，when we were dancing and playing games，I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin．His shyness made him appear weak．I walked towards him，introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people．He quietly replied，"No，I really don't want to do this．"I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him，either．Actually，the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend．

At lunch the next day，I was leading camp songs when 1saw the boy under the tree sitting alone．I tried again with the same invitation，but he refused once again．That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy．Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could．
