"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．"

Edward rose early on the New﹣year morning． He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family． Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet．

When he came back， his father gave him two bright， new silver dollars．

His face lighted up as he took them． He had wished for a long time to buy some petty books that he had seen at the bookstore．

He left the house with a light heart， expecting to buy the books． As he ran down the street， he saw a poor family．

"I wish you a happy New Year．" said Edward， as he was happily passing on． The man shook his head．

Why are dogs our best friends．Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought，according to a study in Hungary．It found that dogs understand not only what we say，but also how we say it．

"The results were very exciting and very surprising．"Said the researcher Attila Andies，from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest．

For the study，the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months．The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine，so that the researchers could check their activity．

Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people's voice to them．There were four different voice．Some were positive words，such as"well down"，or neutral（不带感情色彩的） words like"however"．The words were also in different tones（音调）．Some were positive and some were neutral．

Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize（辨认）words．as well as the tone of words，much like people do．The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain's reward centers（反应中枢）．

"It shows that for dogs，a nice phrase can word very well as a prize，but it words best if both words and tones match．"Said Andies．

They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right．Human brains work in the same way．

It gave us a new understanding of language，said Andies．That is，not only do humans understand the meaning in words，other species（物种） do too．

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．

Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors？Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves．

Some birds like eating locusts（蝗虫），but birds can't easily catch them．Why？It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops．When crops are green，locusts look green．But as the harvest time comes，locusts change to the same brown color as crops have．Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others，so they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night．

If you study the animal life，you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves．Bears，lions and other animals move quickly through the forest．They cannot be easily seen by hunters．This is because they have the colors much like the trees．

Have you ever noticed an even more strange fact？A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid（液体）when it faces danger．While the liquid spreads over，its enemies cannot find it．And it immediately swims away．So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all．
