During the 2014 YOG, not only players but also volunteers impressed us a lot this summer. It is reported that more than 20,000 volunteers took part in the 2014 YOG in Nanjing and they have another name-Little Green Lemon. Green is the colour of growth and youth, while lemon has the same sound as Ning, another short name of Nanjing.
It’s a pity that not everyone could be a Little Green Lemon, but we can volunteer to help others in many different ways.
The traditional way is to donate free time to help people in need. Volunteers visit homes for the elderly and orphans (孤儿), or care for homeless people. We can also volunteer to plant trees, pick up rubbish and clean neighborhoods. In Shenzhen, some school students volunteer to teach sick children. Their classes include painting and learning numbers.
Unlike traditional volunteering, skill-based volunteering needs volunteers to learn about the job or have special lessons for it. They can use their skills to make a difference. For example, in China many children volunteer to become guides in museums. They receive history lessons so that they can tell old stories of the museums to visitors.
Although volunteering takes up our time and can be difficult sometimes, it shows our care for others and changes the way we look at ourselves. Sometimes it’ s easy to worry about grades or get angry because we don’ t have the most expensive sneakers (运动鞋). Volunteering gives us a chance to think about what we have, and the truly important things in our life. Maybe this is the reason why more and more people would like to be volunteers.

David will study in Chicago for a year. He’s reading a travel book about the weather.

It’s usually cool. Sometimes it rains. |
| Summer |
It’s usually hot and sunny. The temperature is sometimes not very high. |
| Fall |
It’s normally cool and windy. The temperature is pleasant. |
| Winter |
It gets very cold. It often snows. |
He’s asking, “What will I probably do there during that time?”
I’ll have a lot of free time in summer. Maybe I’ll go sailing on Lake Michigan. In fall, I won’t have a lot of free time because I’ll be in school. I’ll probably play football. Maybe I’ll be on the school team. I won’t go ice-skating, because I don’t know how to skate. I won’t go skiing, because I can’t ski. Here’s an idea. I’ll probably visit my family in Florida at Christmas and New Year and get some sunshine.

Jessi remembers that when she and Joey first started staying home alone, they weren’t allowed to open the door for anyone or invite any friends to their home. Now Jessi’s allowed to invite over any friend that her mom knows well.
Every family has different home alone rules. Here are some common rules:
Don’t open the door for anyone except(除……之外) a brother, sister or parent.
Keep all doors locked(锁上的)，at all times.
Checking in
When you get home, call your parents to let them know that everything’s OK.
Only pick up the phone if it’s a parent, relative, or friend who your parents know.
If you answer the phone and the person asks for a parent, just say that he or she is busy and can’t come to the phone. Never tell a stranger on the phone that you’re home alone!
If you feel nervous about using appliances like the oven, you may have some snacks instead of cooking food yourself.
Visiting friends
Most children have a rule that no friends are allowed in the house when they’re home alone. This may be no fun but in the end, is safe for everyone.
Your parents may want you to stay at home and not go anywhere----not even a friend’s house, park, or store.
Many parents, including Jessi and Joey’s mom, ask their children to wait until a parent is home before going online.
These rules are very important. Follow them when you’re home alone.
