made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites（卫星）,10% are
spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion（爆炸） in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000
fragments（碎片）, each at least 4 mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a
spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are working on helpful ways to do with space
junk.

Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it

Sichuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have been helping there! They do all
kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life. Some offer their professional skills for
free. Others have no qualifications （资历）, but they love to work hard to help.

One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best
volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta. She helped the
homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families.

Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities, too. They
volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of
being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get older,
these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as
learning on-the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life.

All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the
blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villages, Could you be a volunteer? What
kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you.
